    Photo of the new alleged suspect:

    This guy doesn’t look like an expert marksman, but I guess looks can be deceiving.

    Cartridges with “transgender and anti-fascist” writing on them were found.

    Oh, were they? That’s super convenient. Almost thoughtful of the shooter to leave that kind of evidence behind but evade capture.

    A lot of people seem to be writing on gun cartridges these days. Kind of a new trend I guess?

    Very confused how we ended up here, but started here:

      According to a preliminary internal report circulated inside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, federal and local officials recovered ammunition with the rifle that appeared to be engraved with statements “expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” But a senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation cautioned that report had not been verified by A.T.F. analysts, did not match other summaries of the evidence, and might turn out to have been misread or misinterpreted. In fast-moving investigations, such status reports are not made public because they often contain a mixture of accurate and inaccurate information.

      It’s weird. Phones have like 50 megapixel sensors that can photograph the hairs on a fly’s leg, yet somehow all the CCTV from anything like this is always “we think it’s a person, probably”.

      • source: *Steven Crowder Matt Walsh has a “guy inside the FBI”. Effectively a “trust me bro” pseudo-fact.

      Edit: I can’t tell right wingers apart

      I feel a little afraid anytime I see a post trying to identify the alleged perpetrator, just since the Boston Bombing and reddit.

      Not saying you’ve done so, just that it still worries me I guess.

        The FBI released that photo.

        I don’t want to try and identify anybody. Actually highly suspicious of anything they say about this investigation now bc they’ve botched the shit out of this, and Trump is clearly already using this to spread propaganda against the left.

          At this point the entire FBI should basically be considered an extension of Trump’s personal Gestapo. I would not in any way remotely trust anything they say. The agency, falling completely under the domain of Trump, is compromised.

          He probably did it, but can you imagine if he didn’t how fucking scary this would be
