“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?”

    People keep saying engraved, I don’t know if this is subtle narrative or something, but I can almost guarantee nothing was engraved on the case or the bullet. Written with a ultra-fine sharpie, all of these phrases would easily fit on a 30.06 case, they’re almost two and half inches long and I don’t know the diameter of the case itself but its bigger than the .308, which is fairly girthy

      fine sharpie makes much more sense. I wish they’d just release pictures of it, but especially after the United Healthcare > MN school shooter > this guy chain, they probably want to discourage copycats.

      Though copy cat kind of implies the crimes are similar, which I don’t agree with.

        I could see similarities if the CK shooter was left wing, current news is saying he’s an ultra right wing nut who thought Kirk wasn’t far right enough, but who actually knows. I doubt we’ll know the truth of any of this for a while or at all. It took weeks for factual info to come out about Luigi, and there’s still doubt about the info’s validity.
