  • “Absolutely. That agent would have been peppered with buckshot. He would have had many injuries. Doctors would have had to dig those things out of him. Not just the one pellet that hit him like they claim they found.”

  • “The physics don't work. One fucking plet. One. Bullshit. Ears don't grow back and buckshot don't work like that.”

    — Bluesky· May 2026
  • “Great points! Had those exact same thoughts about the buckshot.”

  • “Blanche said the buckshot sometimes just "disappears." As if that were a thing. I agree that the SS shot the SS. I think the DOJ will lie about that bc so far they have done nothing but lie since the fascist took over again. The DOJ is just shit now.”

    — Bluesky· May 2026
  • “When I was a kid, I saw a lot of road signs and stock tanks with that circle of holes. Drunk dipshits... Sometimes it's just a big hole with jagged edges.... If I remember, buckshot is several pellets the diameter of bullets in one shell.”
