According to AP, there were messages engraved on the casings in the Kirk shooting. They read:

One read, “hey fascist! catch!” with an up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols.

Another one read: “oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao,” Cox said.

The third fired casing read: “if you read this you are gay lmao.”

My first thought is. Whoever killed Kirk was clearly inspired by Luigi. The writing on the casings just like Luigi did. The timing. It just makes sense.

Does this mean Luigi’s propaganda of the deed was successful? I think so. In any case, I wonder if this means there is more to come.

Why and how did they find three casings if it was only one shot? Doesn't add up.

They were in the weapon they found? I'm not defending anyone or thing as true, but I believe there's multiple ways this adds up pretty evenly lol

Yes exactly. These were found not fired in the weapon dumped in the woods the FBI retrieved. According to the FBI.

OK thanks. Generally casings or shells refer to the spent cartridges, which is why I was confused.

Maybe left intentionally as an homage to Luigi?

Luigi's case had much more serious irony(though I hate to use the word), wouldn't you agree? Maybe more info will be released to spotlight the missing seriousness or political influences tho

I’m not sure what you mean here. What made it more ironic?

[–] Ging@anarchist.nexus 1 points 18 hours ago

The delay, deny, depose being a direct quote from the insurance industry as a whole thus the more serious irony. These casings from kirk shooter seem to be ironic for sure, but the irony with the kirk shooter is mostly internet culture/meme-based with the current data I've seen anyway
