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.

    Talk about a radicalizing event. Its like an instant 3000 more alt right militants.

    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.

      you were already radicalized.

      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?
