Anonymous Red Phoenix correspondent | Portland, OR– On the morning of Feb. 5, Portland Police Bureau and federal agents killed a man named Erik D.

    I’m just assuming anyone who is said to have written or engraved anything on their ammo is being framed by the feds. This keeps coming up lately and it feels like the kind of lazy blacks-rule bullshit the current administration would resort to. I don’t buy it for a second. I’ve never seen or heard of a person in real life writing anything on their ammo. Humans don’t do this.

      Humans don’t do this.

      There is that “bullet with your name on it” trope in fiction though. Presumably that’s the image these reports are supposed to conjure up, of fanatical assassins carving names into bullets.

      I think the fact that the trope is so dated is what stuck out first to me after seeing this pop up more than once under spooky circumstances.

      Its very odd because its like a fractal of implausibility/impossibility. Like, I could point out that you can’t / wouldn’t fit any meaningful manifesto on a shell casing but it feels like I’m already taking the bait entertaining it that much. Its like Ralph saying he saw Principle Skinner and Ms Hoover making babies and he saw the babies and one of the babies looked at him. You just roll your eyes and dismiss the lie because its too stupid to bother entertaining. But it gets repeated by credulous / incurious / ill informed people and/in the media despite being easier to poke holes in than Kirk’s throat.

      I’ll stay open minded, because maybe these wannabe shooters just have really neat handwriting, but if I were more inclined to jump to conclusions I would probably assume this pattern of blatant in-your-face fuckery indicates CIA shit.
