Authorities say Charlie Kirk shooter said, “Hey fascist! Catch!” on one casing and did NOT reference trans "ideology" (www.salon.com)

“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?”

What are you upset about exactly? Do you think they're lying? They might be. He stuck up for the trans community though, that's something, ig. Does that governor have a history of lying? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'd like to know what you're pissed about.

Cox generally doesn't lie, he's disappointing because he doesn't do what he says he believes in because he's worried about veto overrides. He's kind of a crappy governor, but not a liar.

“Inscribed bullets” is a real convenient excuse to ~~push~~ sway public opinion. Have they released pictures of said bullets? No? What about the ones Luigi allegedly used?

You're not wrong, they should release them. Also, to be clear, they're the casings, not the actual bullets.

The governor of Utah doesn't seem hip enough to know what the inscriptions would mean. If they're fake, he was probably duped too or went along with whatever the cops told them they said.

Not sure why he said they weren't transgender though specifically. It's definitely an odd situation.

The WSJ posted an article about the fact that the casings have references to transgender rights or something similar, he's shooting that consistency theory down

Right, but if the republican governor is as bad as what op was saying, why would he do that?
