dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Probably just means the bullet was too mangled to get a conclusive read. Remember, his roommate immediately snitched on him and leaked all his messages, and his own family reported him.

It would be amazing if he gets acquitted though. Only Candace would give a shit.

Probably just means even their made up pseudoscience couldn't work

Oh, so like how DNA testing is quite flawed, or lie detecting or body language analysis...

I'm starting to think that the police don't actually know what they're doing and rely on snitches to do their job for them.

huh I thought guns had, like, microscopic "signatures" or serial numbers on the firing pin for some reason

[–] livestreamedcollapse@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

California uses the technical feasibility of microstamping serial numbers onto a firing pin so as to require any new handguns added to the state's "roster of safe handguns" have such a firing pin. The 25 micron relief of the stamping can be sanded off in like a minute so the tech is really just a de facto ban on any new designs being legally sold in the state

Hmm, that's only on the brass though, I guess marking the bullet would be significantly harder

[–] livestreamedcollapse@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

Oh I meant sanding the die off of the firing pin so it doesn't stamp a serial number onto the casings; the projectile gets marked by the rifling upon firing. Wakmrow posted an article above about how the rifling analysis is subjective, unrepeatable pseudoscience but I don't think it mentions that polygonal rifling is distinguishable from traditional land & groove rifling. So if a defendant is caught with, say, a glock, finding polygonal rifling on recovered bullets would make such analysis more damning in that case.

Yeah I don’t think this is like Luigi Mangione where there is very real doubts as to whether he’s the real shooter. It’s looking pretty damning for Tyler Robinson.
