As we reported earlier, police confirmed there were words on three shell casings found at the scene of the fatal shooting of Brian Thompson.

The BBC’s US partner CBS News is now reporting that the words - “deny”, “defend” and “depose” - were meticulously written, not etched, onto the casings, according to a source briefed on the investigation.

    The words were Deny, Defend, and Depose. I’m absolutely sure they have nothing to do with this book.

    I also had to laugh yesterday when the cops and mayor were frantically trying to reassure everyone it’d be safe to go to the tree lighting ceremony, and there wasn’t a single person in the entire city who thought that guy would be after them. … Well, okay, maybe some folks at that investor’s conference …

        Yet the cops and the media are all shrugging their shoulders and claiming they have no idea what motivated the killing. Mostly because they simply don’t want to say it out loud.

          It is amazing watching how the media and politicans are pretending that people are going to be scared and sad while all the regular people are rejoicing.

              I wonder how many of those comments were just “👍”
