“I think that speaks for itself,” the governor said.

Cox reported that another casing had “Bella ciao” written on it, an apparent reference to a WWII-era Italian anti-fascist song. Another casing had the message, “If you read this, you are gay LMAO,” Cox said.

Additional, unfired bullets had phrases from video games and internet memes written on them. One read “Up arrow, right arrow, and three down arrow symbols,” a possible reference to commands entered on a controller that call in a bomb in the video game “Helldivers.” A separate casing read, “Notices bulges OWO what’s this?”

      So someone unfamiliar with furry memes might think it refers to an unexpected bulge in a trans woman’s pants? I guess?

          Okay, but there’s every reason to think the department investigating this has been purged of anyone not a self-declared Republican. Because as a reminder, that’s a thing that Trump’s regime has explicitly done (or try to do) govt-wide.
