About

PNWGUERRILLA Shooting Rooster Tweet, also known as Rooster Says Hello To My 12GA, refers to a viral post from Twitter / X user PNWGUERRILLA (@pnwguerrilla) about him allegedly shooting and killing a rooster with a 12-gauge (12GA) shotgun because the rooster supposedly attacked his nephew. The tweet was formatted like a 4chan Greentext, reading, "Get home / Let chickens out / Rooster attacks my nephew / Rooster says hello [to my] 12GA / (I can't post the dead bird because Twitter allows literal war crime footage but not dead animals for some reason)." A majority of the reactions believed that PNWGUERRILLA had overreacted to the rooster's alleged attack. Memes and viral posts about the tweet often portrayed PNWGUERRILLA as a Soyjak and the rooster as a Chad, roughly following the Soyjaks vs. Chads format.
