So supposedly this was targeted at ICE but he missed and hit 3 immigrants by accident. So, again, both sides will claim the other side is responsible.
The only thing clear is that there's more violence coming.
It really, really feels like a false flag, either completely or partially staged. The single round in a... stripper clip? with the phrase "anti ice" hastily written on ONE bullet is bad enough, but the tweet by Patel really sealed it, both in terms of posting evidence in a murder case on social media, and the fact that he said "empty casings were engraved" as he posted the picture of non-empty bullet casings with sharpie markings. It seems like they tried to do something hasty and rapid here and made a lot of mistakes.
Worth noting there is precedent for this; this is exactly how right-wing extremists operate; notable examples in the past proven to be such false flags include:
Boogaloo boys in Oakland, CA during 2020 George Floyd protests, trying to frame nearby peaceful protesters as they shot and murdered an officer at a courthouse.
Boogaloo tried to do the same stunt in Minneapolis, too.
Umbrella Man in Minneapolis caught smashing windows with a hammer. Turned out to be a right-wing extremist.
White Supremacist group caught posing as "Antifa"
I'm really surprised ol' wide-eyes didn't have his boys write "Antifa 4Ever!" on the shell. The weird rush-job of the whole thing really lends me to believe whatever went down wasn't exactly how they had planned.
I guess we wait and see what obvious bs they do next like throw a wig on the shooter's body and call him "trans."
Yeah, these guys writing shit on bullets thinking it'll throw cops off their trail, are wasting their time. It's dumb.
I am willing to buy into the idea that T Rob was a conservative who started turning left. This shit right here is nonsense.
Source?
You see the picture? It says "anti-ICE" on the bullet. I find it really fucking weird that ever since Luigi all the killers write something on the bullets and it's supposed to tell us what side they were on. So I'm not saying he wrote this and that he was "anti-ICE", I'm just saying that both sides will no claim he was from the other side. One because of what he supposedly wrote on the bullet, the other because of who he hit.
If the shooter was actually Anti-ICE and chose to write something on the casings, they would write something other than "Anti-ICE". That's not even a message.
And only on one bullet... perfectly left facing up on the ground, totally not staged for the photo at all. There's no way that an ICE agent could have possibly written that quickly with a pen/marker/sharpie... at an office... where the shooting happened. Nope, couldn't possibly have been one of the Gestapo there after the fact, they're trustworthy and never do anything illegal.
Luigi hasn't been found guilty of anything.
The world pretty much fell over themselves thinking how awesome the 'deny', 'defend', 'depose' was, so I'm not particularly surprised everyone that follows through with sniping tries to imitate that in some way. It's a way for the shooter to tap into being as important and significant as Luigi has been in popular culture. Or in this case, it might have been 'ironic' as a supremely broken 4-chan edge-lord thinking they are going out of the world doing the ultimate troll.
Looks like it's from an M1 though, the original antifascist gun
