    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.

        The New York Times published the same thing, which feels very irresponsible for this exact reason.
