At this point, pretty much anything they say is suspect. That being said, if this is true and they're unfired casings it is likely to just be some sort of joke to mess with people

I'm so confused by these reports. How did he engrave so many words on a bullet casing? Does he have some industrial grade laser engraver or is he just a natural craftsman?

I don't ever believe a single word these MAGA Nazis ever say. Until I see photos of the bullets, it's all just bullet bullshit.

Yeah that's actually very true I didn't rly think about that. I mean the credibility is up there with most other western media outlets, that is to say, very lacking.

I think if it was a 50 cal (I don't remember what caliber it was), those things r pretty big, if you used a dremel tool with a rly small ball bit and some extremely steady hands, I assume u could do that (not american tho idk how bullet casings work). Still seems like a lot of effort to write anyway.

Looked it up, it was a .30-06 caliber bullet, a lot smaller than a 50 cal and would be nearly impossible even with a dremel tool. This is probably news-media hysteria. Like when the DPRK suddenly bans smiling and laughing for the 3rd time, one Media organisation copies another, copies another, copies another, etc.

If this is what the police report actually says than I think there needs to be photos or smth, cuz after thinking about it for a bit it does sound kinda outlandish.

Edit for further context: A .30-06 casing is around 2 inches long and around half an inch wide (5 x 1.27cm), keeping in mind it is also a cylinder, not a flat surface. The "Bella ciao" message was 9 words totalling 45 characters (incl spaces). You would need to be a god damn artisan to do that by hand.

Yeah, the whole story on the suspect seems way too tidy and contrived, and US cops have lied plenty before, nothing stopping them lying some more. It reminds me a lot of the case with the health insurance CEO, how they caught the suspect so fast based on someone supposedly recognizing them at a fast food place or something. Now with this one, we are supposed to believe they admitted what they did to a parent who shared it with a youth pastor who contacted federal marshals. And had a convenient (for LE) discord account pointed at by unnamed "friends" with messages that pointed to weapon location and meme level markings on bullets. All of this investigation happening within something like 48 hours of the incident? There are aspects of it that are certainly not impossible, but the whole picture of it together is a very convenient package for the fascists.

Don't use discord. Also I find it hard to believe all of that could have possibly fit on bullets.

[–] Sasquatch@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Uh mr wayne was reading thumbprints of bullet fragments like 15 years ago

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 11 points 2 days ago

Thinking about opening an Etsy store that does custom bullet engraving.

[–] nathanboleshevik@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Are there any pictures? This just seems so ridiculous.

Nah not that I could find
