https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/press-conference-no-transgender-or>In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s shooting, several mainstream outlets rushed out sensational claims that “transgender symbols” were engraved on bullet casings found near the suspect’s discarded weapon. Within hours, senior law enforcement contradicted the reports and the outlets hedged—but the damage was already done, with the falsehood ricocheting across the internet. This morning, officials announced the arrest of a suspect in Kirk’s killing and revealed at a press conference that the actual engravings had nothing to do with transgender or LGBTQ people at all—they were internet memes unrelated to transgender people.>In the hours after the shooting, far-right propagandist Steven Crowder fanned the flames by posting a screenshot of what he claimed was an ATF dashboard, alleging that “transgender and anti-fascist ideology” was engraved on the recovered casings. The Wall Street Journal then laundered the same claim into legitimacy, citing anonymous sources who said “transgender symbols” were found. The effect was immediate: conservative influencers flooded social media blaming the killing on transgender people, and even sitting members of Congress joined in. Rep. Nancy Mace—who has built much of her political brand on anti-trans hostility—declared, “it sounds like the shooter was a tranny.”>By this morning, even the Wall Street Journal began hedging, cautioning that “some sources urge caution,” while other outlets started walking back their initial certainty. Hours later, the official story collapsed. At a press conference announcing the arrest of the suspect—a white 22-year-old man named Tyler Robinson—officials revealed the actual engravings found on the casings. None were “transgender” or “LGBTQ” symbols. Governor Spencer Cox read them aloud, as seen in the following clip:
rightoids will claim the symbols were scrubbed off and the government is staging a coverup on behalf of trannies
>>41020445No.I think you should just be housed in general population at a male max security prison
They're just going to bend reality to make the shooter somehow still be trans. No matter what evidence is found they will always think this person is "discord tranny" and nothing will ever change their mind
>>41020461So true bestie. Why don't you go give a speech about it at a college campus? I'll be watching from 200 yards away.
>>41020477Cis people don’t play helldivers
>>41020477This. They were yelling tranny before there was even any information on the shooter released. Textbook definition of tranny derangement syndrome.
>>41020500You don't leave your house, you loser.>"If I go outside, I might hear things I don't like!!!!"
Don't be confused. To be perfectly blunt republicans aren't mistaken, they haven't been tricked, and they aren't ignorant, it's not a joke, there is no confusion.They know it wasn't a tranny, they are willing and even eager to lie to push their cynical ideologies.Right eingers don't engage with discourse they weapon it with intentioned lying.Conservatism is an ideology not just incompatible with, but actively at odds with empiricism.
So it was completely fabricated to spread transphobia, least surprising thing ever
>>41020544I bet Charlie's wife and kids wish he never left his house right about now.
>>41020573You're acting just like them
>>41020567For instance>>41020544This guy knows that trans rights aren't like musical tastes. He knows he wants violence comitted to trans people, so what does he do? He immediately shifts to minimizing trans issues to a common disagreement in an attempt to gaslight and cause mental harm.Because the point is the suffering, it's a barbaric ideology based entirely on idol worship and death.
>>41020414the funniest thing is that no one will learn anything from this.no conservative will ever be able to publicly say "it's an long range rifle attack, base rates say it's probably a cishet white guy. black muslim is a very distant second possibility, it's almost certainly not anything else." because the dumbest segment of their base would think they were blaming white people as a whole. they keep wanting it to be a trans woman because that's the one group their entire fucked coalition can agree on hating, but they keep getting it wrong because trans women commit almost no violent crime.
>>41020662Is there any point to tracking the demographics like some kind of intersectional scorecard for murder anyways?
>>41020696past any targeted social campanies or mental illness treatment programs, no
>>41020696it's to manufacture consent for discrimination while avoiding discussion of the root cause (guns)
>>41020720>the root cause (guns)A healthy society would not produce people who did this regardless of the availability of guns
>>41020720The root cause isn’t guns the root cause is nihilism and lack of purpose in modern late stage capitalist society.
>>41020696>Is there any point to tracking the demographics like some kind of intersectional scorecard for murder anyways?i mean, i think it is in general good to have more accurate models of the world. however, you're right in that this is a section of the world that it's probably imprudent to spend a lot of time and effort on.
>>41020747>We could just ban guns and solve most of the problem>But it would be better to just have a global revolution and teorganize societyYeah sis, that's such an elegant and actionable solution
>>41020736giving untrained unchecked people a way to kill tens of other people in a matter of seconds is not a good idea in any society, same reason why we don't give them explosives, specific types of chemicals or the ability to drive a carit doesn't stop it 100% but it reduces it heavily
>>41020762You said root cause. Root.
>>41020783Being able to kill anything I see is my god-given right as a human being.
>>41020736>"You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It's drivel." -Charlie Kirk
>>41020414weimar shit
>>41020855This is because conservatives fundamentally don't want to imagine a world where human beings love and trust each other by default, the idea repulses them
this entire thread is one big cope, the guy is a huge leftoid faggot>Notices your bulge oWo an ironic gay meme popularized by autistic, homosexual furry roleplayers>Bella ciaothe leftard's favorite song>Hey fascist, catchno need to explain this oneplus he specifically said he hated Kirk because he thought of him as someone who spread hatealso, it's too late to disavow this. everyone has seen trannies and commies celebrate the murder for two days
>>41020783>the ability to drive a carGood goy stay inside your bug hive- I mean fifteen minute cities.
>>41021015>it's a tranny!!>>it's not>it's a tankie, same thing!!Please debate this outdoors at your nearest school lil bro. Besides, aCK would have wanted this. He said himself empathy is a scam and shootings are a sacrifice worth making in the name of freedom. Glad to see chuddies have their own personal Floyd now.
