Nancy Mace though, so not a serious suggestion, right?

Too much white around the eyes...

In fairness to Patel (which is a phrase I NEVER thought I'd type!) I thought the phrasing he used was that a "person of interest" was "in custody", which was technically true at the time?

Apparently, no, it was a tweet, so fuck that guy:

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/us/politics/fbi-patel-kirk-shooting.html

"On Wednesday evening, as word of Mr. Kirk’s killing reverberated around the nation, Mr. Patel, a former podcaster, posted welcome but fleeting news on his official X account.

“The subject for the horrific shooting today that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody,” he wrote to his 1.8 million followers. “Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with @fbi.”

Mr. Patel wrote the message after speaking with agents working the case, and quickly posted it himself without consulting his leadership team, according to two people with knowledge of his actions."

Which is why I always say, in the early hours on events like this, don't really believe ANYTHING without confirmation.

I'll be honest, I've never disassembled a Mauser, but I can say, just the wood furniture alone on my Remington 721 .30-06 would not fit in a backpack.

Maybe the specific model he used is different? I dunno. My mares's leg would fit in a backpack, but not a long rifle.

Is it worth buying though? I felt burned by Pre-Sequel and 3 was kind of "Meh".

Not concerned with Denuvo since I rarely buy or play games on PC, I just want to know if it's worth playing.

Individual posts, you're right, not for a few minutes, but when it becomes a pattern, it becomes bannable.

Lemmy is not a revolutionary platform, it you want to organize a rebellion, go do it elsewhere. We don't allow that here.

It was bad enough when a mod went off the rails and blew up a fertility clinic, we don't need that kind of attention:

Let me phrase it like this then... what have the protests in LA accomplished?

ICE is still operating with impunity, if anything they have accelerated.

Trump has increased military presence in places like D.C. and is threatening other cities.

The Supreme Court ruled it's A-OK to detain people who look hispanic or are caught "speaking Spanish in public".

Soo... good jorb?

If you're offended by this, and you really should be, the Powers That Be in California cannot change it. The protest needs to impact those making these decisions and right now it absolutely is not.

Considering the photos from the stairwell don't show him with a gun, that's an acceptable theory.

I know a lot of people really like it, but I tend to be in the opposite camp.

Nothing really seems to happen. I read, I dunno, the first 40 issues or so and I kept waiting for the actual story to start... it doesn't. Not really.

There are individual scenarios that are interesting, Lying Cat is, obviously, amazing.

But it doesn't seem like there's an actual "Story" story.

I know people want to blame the cops as quickly as possible, and that's a fair conclusion to jump to, but there's an alternative:

Hypothetically speaking, a right wing shooter upset over Kirk's reversal on the Epstein documents, could put false messages on the ammo to throw off suspicion for as long as possible.

Really impossible to say at this point.

"We are not murdering people, leftists are."

ORLY?

"Boelter was registered to vote in Oklahoma as a Republican for the 2004 United States presidential election, though on a state document in 2019, Boelter wrote that he had "no party preference".[8] A longtime Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, resident who knew Boelter as a fourth-grade student in his childhood town since 1976, told reporters he was stunned to learn that Boelter is a suspect in the attacks. He described Boelter as "a conservative who voted for President Donald Trump and was strongly against abortion rights""

In my day, "blue hair" had a completely different meaning:

Guy in the picture in the stairwell heading to the roof with no gun, right?

So where did the gun come from? Did someone else put it there? 🤔

Realistically, the minds of the audience were made up before the reporting. ;) The reporting just confirms what they already "know".

Looks like the "engraved cartridges" story is coming from the Wall Street Journal. So, Murdoch.

Remember Andrew Breitbart?

"Weapon found was imported Mauser .30-06 bolt-action rifle"

So a typical deer rifle.

Early reporting on stuff like this is almost always wrong, so take it with a grain of salt. We have no idea who is spreading that info and it could very well be intentional misinfo.

Palm and forearm prints? Was it bigfoot? It was bigfoot wasn't it!
