Trump's son Eric, meanwhile, told Fox News' Sean Hannity he was "sick and tired of seeing the bullets -- they are only going one way."

Melissa Hortman and her husband are six feet under thanks to political violence, you lying sack of shit

Pretty sure that Trump's two failed assassins were conservatives.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 21 points 1 day ago

And they probably justify those attempts by twisting the narrative to claim they aren’t really “conservative”.

I think you’re right about the PA one. Not sure about the Florida one though. I think his trial is this week, actually.

Routh had a history of political activity online and offline, with his political engagement dating back to at least 1989. Voting records showed that he did not vote in the 2016 elections, but in a 2020 Twitter post, he claimed to have voted for Trump in 2016 and later regretted it. In a self-published ebook in 2023, he wrote about his supposed previous support for Trump, saying, "I am man enough to say that I misjudged and made a terrible mistake."

He was just upset that Trump did the things Trump said he was going to do.

Let’s not forget about how republicans were literally openly joking about Nancy Pelosi’s husband being attacked.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Given that it's Eric, he probably sincerely doesn't remember them - because he doesn't care.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

He just meant North.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

sick and tired of seeing the bullets – they are only going one way.

he was pushing them up his nose.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah, gee Eric, when one side's politicians recklessly flaunt the things that bullets come from, who is surprised when they fly in that direction?

Why this "suspect " look like Luigi? Are they trying to set him up again?

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not going to spread his pic but he had similar attire on minus a mask

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which means they never caught the killer who shot that CEO and this is proof!

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Oh, and from what the cops are reporting, there were words on the bullets remaining in the bolt action rifle they found. An homage at a minimum it would seem.

[–] insomniac_lemon@lemmy.cafe 57 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"We will DEFINITELY pay you." the head of the FBI said, failing to conceal his giggling. "A LOT of money. Enough to pay off your loans, probably." he added, finally regaining composure by the end of the statement.

[–] BlackAura@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Has South Park Comcast episode nipple rubbing vibes.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 51 points 2 days ago

Remember no one got paid for Luigi and now one will be paid for this. Keep you stupid snitch mouth shut.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 42 points 2 days ago

Trumps a pedo and the senate voted to block the release of the Epstein files yesterday

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

Sorry to anyone looking for this guy, but nearly every Utah man looks identical to this. Good fucking luck to the FBI.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the sting of the McDonald's cashier selling out luigi lingers in everyone's mind.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

It's a trap! You know you won't get $100k ... and they will fire you from your job! Dont fall for it.

[–] DNS@discuss.online 22 points 2 days ago

I know the guy, I saw him working at the 7-11 exactly at 12:20PM. Couldn't have been him.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Here! I think it's the guy in the middle!

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Ah yes the beastie boys

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 12 points 1 day ago

Looks like Ben Shapiro to me.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago

Ok kids, now look up pictures of those on Jan 6th convicted of weapons or assault charges. Very familiar faces and there were quite a few 20-somethings from Utah. Now the KashBI say they found bullets with antifa slogans...but the shooter took the single bullet case with him.

This is going to get dumber and dumber.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If that's the guy, I hope everything in that picture was burned to ash. Amazing what motivated cops can find the in trash miles away. And can these guys not put a little rolled-up gauze in their cheeks? Totally changes one's face. SO I've heard.

If they're releasing these pics, they got more to go on that "man dressed in black". :( Still, talk about a standard-issue white boy.

Can anyone comment on tracing him by the gun? An older model Mauser .30-06 doesn't sound uncommon, and the ammo certainly isn't. For those not in the know, here's my joke about AR rounds. Friend and I used to shoot holes in 3/8" plate steel with 30.06, looked like they were drill pressed. LOL, that fucker got smoked by a WWII cannon shell from a WWII rifle!

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lol why are the labels backward?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's the joke. People think AR-15s are these horrific weapons when a common deer hunting rifle is far, far deadlier.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Ahh gotcha. Lol I've been drinking a bit and didn't make the connection.

The reason for the 5.56 round is actually pretty fucked up. It's designed to "wound not kill" which sounds good on paper, the "intent" is that killing one person removes one person from the battlefield, while wounding one person removes 3. But the reality is that it's small and very high velocity to tumble and ricochet in the body after penetration. It's not unheard of to see an entrance in the arm and exit out of the chest for instance.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You are right "on target", you get it.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Only a 100k? You get about the same working for ICE. Charlie's death is worth about the same as the guy making immigrants disappear. Will be hard to get anyone to rat out a hero.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Oh shit I know that guy

[–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Dale Gribble lookin dude.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I overheard him in the library of Alexandria asking for books about the pyramids.
