I thought it was a MAGA guy that shot him?
(I mean when misinformation spreads like wildfire, why not rebalance things a bit)
Aktually, Charlie Kirk was obviously a crisis actor

(later retracted)
edit: This is my collage, it's not serious. WSJ, as they say, got misleading reportings about something carved on the bullets refering to 'trans and antifa ideology' and later retracted it, probably it was designed this way to launch the scare wave and support nazi claims. Under articles discussing that, I saw a lot of jokes about 'uwu' being written on the casing, so I created this meme and posted it in c/lemmyshitpost ironizing over dumb misinfo without even thinking someone would think it's real.
Maybe the shooter was upset about the salty ham?

Fresh from the AI oven
Mmmmmm, delicious, delicious, AI slop.

Autocorner got me again!
I read “Autocoroner”, putting the “auto” in “autopsy”

Cats love ham?

Yeah at this point ... this is probably not a good idea.
Further: That's a casing from a pistol round, probably 9mm, not a necked casing from a hunting rifle.
Apparently, the entire 'trans ideology on the casings' thing ... came from our favorite divorced domestic abuser Steven Crowder, who claims that basically just someone in the ATF just sent either their own opinion or a prelim. analysis to him.
Then, as best I can tell... the WSJ just ran with that, and then everyone else did.
Then the NYT appears to have actually attempted to do journalism, reached out to the ATF for comment/verification, and they basically said 'wtf no, that document is preliminary at best and should not be seen as accurate'... which to me implies they couldn't even be 100% certain as to what specific document Crowder / WSJ was even referring to.
So... hooray journalism I guess, basically everything is a wildly irresponsible gossip rag right now.
EDIT:
::: spoiler Handy dandy idiots guide to bullet cartridge calibers and casings, if anyone cares.
Your modern rifle rounds are generally gonna be necked like the .223/5.56, generally taller, generally larger bullets.
bullet = part that hits thing you are aiming at, ideally.
casing = part that holds gunpowder, has primer, gets hit by firing pin, must be cleared from the chamber before next shot.
cartridge/round = the whole package, all together.
There are still some non necked, straight cased rounds like the 30 30, still somewhat common in lever action ("cowboy repeater") type rifles/carbines.
There are also some smaller rounds that are necked, basically tiny, scaled down rifle style rounds, that are geared toward varmint hunting, or a personal defense context, via moving a smaller and lighter bullet faster, with relatively more gunpowder behind it.... used variously in more niche pistols, rifles, pdws, carbines.
5.7 x 28mm (the 5-7 / P90), 4.6 x 30mm (the MP7), .17 HMR (decent array of varmint rifles), etc.

Guys, guys, guys! It's a shitpost collage I edited myself and posted in the according community. Seems like I need a big disclaimer.

Seriously, what is that supposed to be on it? And what is it supposed to mean?
I know it isn't real, but what were they going for? -

That would be unimaginably ironic.
I'm not even a mod ... or anything like that.
I am gonna say that I really hope your online profile cannot be easily tied back to your actual identity... by either random people with a vendetta... and/or possibly any information within the purview of being obtained by some kind of warrant (or DOGE style break-in) from the US government, or maybe by being leaked from some kind of right wing person that works for an ISP. Or VPN!
Things are looking awfully dicey right now.
The entire problem with a bunch of very, very angry and distraught people, is that they tend to believe whatever the fuck they want to, to justify and amplify their anger.
After all, in a highly emotional state, one's feelings do not really rationally consider or evaluate any kind of facts.
And, I guess you could say that I am deadly serious about that.

So... yeah.
Looks to me they are building a sort of Purge / 'day of the rope' type hitlist.

One engraving read 'Hey Fascists, Catch!' - next to an up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol and three down arrow symbols - and another read 'If You Read This You Are Gay LMAO', Cox said.

Though these reported engravings are pretty long.

I am from another problematic state, so I'm probably safe posting that. But being there on Lemmy I feel a kind of a second-hand involvement with what haunts americans whose news are frequent there. And talking about that, making shitposts, I feel relieve as I say what I want to actually say about my own state, but would be ruined if I do.

Hah, yeah, no problem on looking out for your safety.
And yeah, I did the American thing of assuming whoever I am talking to is also American by default, unless otherwise indicated...
But yeah, it sounds like you understand my genuine safety concern as an overriding default, at this point in time.

all news media are basically fascist at this point, especially Bezos shitstain paper and the NYT
Facebook is a far right propaganda pushing tool now too. It's always been crap, but good lord.

Given that both individuals that tried to enact their plots against POTUS were registered republicans, I wouldn't be surprised if some MAGA idiot did shoot Charlie over some falling out. Though my money is definitely on Mossad given recent events.
The guy they've arrested grew up with republican parents (cop dad) and around guns his whole life.

No, it's what they call Lady Gaga's henchmen.
Where can I apply for this job?

We russians assume just as well, and have a lot of strikingly similar behavioral patterns when we are at our lowest. I don't know which country is going faster in it's race to the bottom, and I am of course to egoistically assume it's mine. But, either way, take and have as much care as you wished me
-
Lol, wow, the casing was still smoking when they found it and took the picture? even though it was still chambered? And it was a different caliber than what's pictured? Also how did they fire an AI generated image out of a real rifle? So many questions...
People bought the pristine JFK bullet for 40 years. Not exactly a country of critical thinkers.

Dang, now that we know the actual engravings it's pretty funny how close that was.
