According to AP, there were messages engraved on the casings in the Kirk shooting. They read:
- One read, “hey fascist! catch!” with an up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols.
- Another one read: “oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao,” Cox said.
- The third fired casing read: “if you read this you are gay lmao.”
My first thought is. Whoever killed Kirk was clearly inspired by Luigi. The writing on the casings just like Luigi did. The timing. It just makes sense.
Does this mean Luigi’s propaganda of the deed was successful? I think so. In any case, I wonder if this means there is more to come.
This kind of unilateral shitfuckery have always created more problems for anarchists than anything else… they still blame an anarchist for starting WW1 for Christ’s sake - you’d think we’d be more vocal about our disapproval of it, but apparently, that’s a bridge too far for us.
What anarchist started WW1? Gavrilo Princip was a nationalist, not an anarchist. Inspired by anarchists and anarchist strategies, but he was a nationalist above all.
A lot of propaganda at the time blamed anarchists… and I’ve seen it repeated plenty of times - even in our history textbooks here in Aprtheid-era South Africa.
When I was in school where I live (America) it was taught he was a serbian nationalist affiliated with the Black Hand. Not saying you arent right, just saying that it depends on your education
Doesn’t matter. That’s not the point.
