The bullet engravings as per WSJ
-
Can be anything. Other versions had stock photo watermark. I only photoshopped text over it.

(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.
all news media are basically fascist at this point, especially Bezos shitstain paper and the NYT

wrote last edited by [email protected]They retracted their story. The rifle recovered was allegedly a .30-06, this casing is a handgun round, more like a 9mm or so. E: op image is AI anyway.

I thought it was a MAGA guy that shot him?
(I mean when misinformation spreads like wildfire, why not rebalance things a bit)
It probably was a gaga guy angry he was pushing for the Epstine list.

Oh god, I can't wait to see this reposted as actual evidence by that one uncle ffs...
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

I mean apparently the groypers had beef with him.
The hitler groupies have beef with everyone. Fuenes has beef with Trump too apparently, recently started spewing stuff about "Jews and Communists still being in government" and pissed off about Trump not releasing the Epstein files.
So, if according to the one conspiracy theory that Says Kirk was killed for retaliation over his Epstein opinion, Fuenes is certainly soon.
I doubt the groypers would do this, there's no way they could be smart enough to escape as long as they have.

Damn those kinky high thigh vinyl boots, take forever to put on. Looks smashing in them though.

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...

They are so ready to condemn trans people. Literally jumping the gun.

Was going to say, weren't they claiming the round was from a 30.06? It should be necked and considerably longer.
This is turning into a worse frame up job than Luigi. Does the DoJ just tell local authorities to find a scapegoat if the shooter can't be found in 12-24 hours?

(I mean when misinformation spreads like wildfire, why not rebalance things a bit)
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.

No, it's what they call Lady Gaga's henchmen.

Clearly it's Hassan. Shooter is a hexbear confirmed.
Hasan isn't a tankie...

Because it's not a studio-shot real bullet casing, it's an artistic render of how it looked
wrote last edited by [email protected]It's wild how many comments here think this is the actual photo of the actual shell casing... It's clearly fake

Lot of people writing on bullets these days. Must be a pretty big bullet to even fit the word "transgender" on it, let alone his whole manifesto.

No it was Kirk's estranged gay lover.
