'ANTI-ICE' appears written in blue ink on ONE shell FBI says was found near shooter

FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash
This morning just before 7am local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas, Texas ICE facility, killing one, wounding several others, before taking his own life. FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities.

While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical motive behind this attack (see photo below). One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase “ANTI ICE.” More updates will be forthcoming.

These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Prarieland, Texas where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers. It has to end and the FBI and our partners will lead these investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice.







...the writing on that shell is sus, like the shooter scratched it out in the rain on the roof, and just conveniently left it for agents to find before killing himself.



Patel calling this shooting "politically-motivated" or having an 'idealogical motive" is yet another one of this administration's attempts to politicize every prominent shooting event in their party's and their ideology's interest.

But just have to wait and see where their investigation leads.

Not laughing at you, laughing at the notion that anyone would believe anything coming from this Been A Dick Donald toady, especially given the recent statements about cracking down on 'left wing radical groups.

I wouldn't put it past this illegitimate regime to plant evidence backing up their claims.

A shooter would use. It's a weird phrase anyway. I assume the shooter will be profiled by the media before we even know their name so prepared for more bullshit from the administration.

c'mon now. How do we know someone at the scene didn't write in on their. They are recruiting any random guy off the street for the job. Plus, why would someone who is anti-ICE target detainees. Our FBI is run by morons.

Lying is breathing to the whole damn septic tank packed full of Patel’s and his peeps.
Look at the letters of agencies on the ground. FBI, DHS, ATF and anything with Dallas Police, who the absolute fuck would trust a syllable out of their mouths. All trump puppets out to start a war to keep daddy home forever.
Epstein files closing in.
If your damn child lied to you all day for a day, would you ever trust another word?

These are all GQP Taliban suicide bombers, heading to 72 virgins and paradise. Seems to be a pattern with religious extremists, which we now have the worst on earth, white ones too, and volunteers to be martyrs for their particular God with a promise of endless sex, “the likes of which they would never see” here in real life.
Any whiteness mention they heard “God is Great” from these roof’s.

How sad and ugly. Lying there on the cold, dirty, wet concrete is the collective labor of maybe a thousand humans or more that went into the procurement, refinement and manufacture of those ugly objects, meant only to kill. This is what we have left for each other in this country. Messages on metal shells conceived in the hell of our existence, made only to kill each other.

None of this is okay.

Also, what's up with all these dudes using old-ass milsurps to do their killing?

And maybe I'm just paranoid, but this feels like the Kirk thing didn;t kick off the civil war they wanted, so they needed another Reichstag fire to get things rolling....

The CK killer may have been derivative in using video game references on his bullets, but at least he picked some good ones. And took the time to engrave the shell casings. This crap is... well... lame. Just lame.

They are all known liars, some under oath.

They have shown they are trying to destroy this country.

They have infiltrated every nook and cranny of the government.

They are trying to destroy the justice system.

They are trying to turn the police (all branches) and the military against us.

They have all but declared the Democratic Party terrorists.

They have declared ANTIFA as a terrorist organization.

Why would I believe a word they have to say ???

Anyone can fake a photo and say it’s attributed to anti ice. I call bs on this narrative. And I don’t trust anything that comes out of the google eyed Patel’s mouth!

Not many mass shooters using these old guns. Kirk was shot with an older Mauser rifle. Interesting.
