According to AP, there were messages engraved on the casings in the Kirk shooting. They read:
- One read, “hey fascist! catch!” with an up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols.
- Another one read: “oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao,” Cox said.
- The third fired casing read: “if you read this you are gay lmao.”
My first thought is. Whoever killed Kirk was clearly inspired by Luigi. The writing on the casings just like Luigi did. The timing. It just makes sense.
Does this mean Luigi’s propaganda of the deed was successful? I think so. In any case, I wonder if this means there is more to come.
Fuck Charlie Kirk, but you’d think a leftist would think twice about the psychological harm done to 3000 people in attendance watching their idol get shot in the neck. Talk about a radicalizing event. Its like an instant 3000 more alt right militants. Pretty boneheaded move from a “radical leftist.”
Edit: Looks like they have him in custody. sounds like he was a right wing 4channer. lol

Yeah, … but also no. If your conclusion is “the left is out to get us” in the middle of confusion and chaos, before any evidence comes forward, then I am afraid you were already radicalized.
I hear you, obviously most people at the event were probably far right – but I don’t think necessarily all militant. My point is it’s not very hard to imagine the psychological condition of 3000k people – who’ve just experienced their cultural representative (culturep?) being assassinated live and in person – trending even more towards violence. I think that’s a pretty precedented way for a social group to process that kinda of psychological trauma.
I’m a radical. Please don’t conflate my politics with those of right-wingers… you know, those people whose politics is entirely about being anti-radical?
Before it gets memory-holed:
That was before J6, though, so personally I think the possibilities are still open, especially given “entrepreneur” and Trump’s appeal to the petite bourgeoisie.
My name is exactly that common. There were 5 of us in my high school.
Somehow, I don’t think the majority of the people present will suddenly turn into radicals… considering that they are intensely anti-radical, correct?
