The memes havent caught up yet. They actually found casings for the full book title "Delay Deny Defend" and the shooter additionally carved the "Depose" on one of the casings as the final conclusion to this phrase.
Tbh the articles might just be wrong about one of the words, but together these two articles used as source for the wikipedia article contain all the mentioned words.

I'll update it tomorrow. Right now every freedom unit of my body aches and I have a fever. I need to rest.
Dont worry about it, i was just being pedantic because lots of news outlets are still calling the reference to the book a "maybe" which is annoying because everything about this shooting is as clear as day.
This is a weapons expert with experience with both of the types of weapon you're talking about and he says it's definitely not a VP9 or a welrod. https://youtube.com/shorts/POubd0SoCQ8
He pointedly makes no comment on all the people celebrating.
A lot of people in the comments seem to agree that this guy probably knew the gun wouldn't cycle and was expecting to clear malfunctions, which is why he seems unbothered by them. He may not have had access to legal and proper methods of suppression, hence the poor setup. Probably for the best because a registered suppressor would be easily traced.
I'm not able to watch that video right now but I definitely will. Thank you for the correction.
Animals don’t deserve to be insulted like that. The ceo more akin to animal excrement.
Now now let's be fair, at least animal excrement has a direct, practical purpose when put down on the ground.
indeed
It looked like in the video he was collecting the casings instead of letting them drop?
Edit: according to Wikipedia he was either clearing jams or using a gun that required manual cycling, for anyone else wondering.
There are pictures of them so he definitely left some
