It's just speculation. No real motive has been determined. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2025-09-12/what-we-know-about-the-suspected-killer-of-charlie-kirk
LA Times wrote this less than 15 minutes ago:
The only things in writing are the words etched into the bullets, and those are mixed. He wrote an anti-fascist statement on a bullet casing and other text on others, but nothing to indicate he had liberal or conservative ideologies. If anything, he appeared to be mostly mad at the whole system.
No, he wrote Helldiver's 2 and groyper memes.
Is for this: https://helldivers.wiki.gg/wiki/Eagle_500kg_Bomb
When I first heard about the three arrows, I thought it was a reference to the iron front. This is so much lamer.
They say the truth can't get it's pants on before a lie made it around the world, but I love Lemmy cause mfers come with sources within minutes or hours
How do you get more explicitly anti-fascist than 'Hey fascist catch (a bomb)' and bella ciao?
In the game where that code is from, you play as a human soldier fighting for a starship troopers-esque over the top obviously fascist but played for laughs Super Earth Government, and they routinely call the bug aliens fascist while calling in bombing runs on them.
"Notices bulges OwO what's this?" is used within the groypers to make fun of furries, as well as when they are (ugh I hate that I'm about to say this word) "transvestigating", which is when they "investigate" whether someone is trans or not. Also see "If you read this, you are gay LMAO"
Bella ciao is also used ironically within the groypers.
If it was the only thing there... Sure. Its not though, its one of several things, which all have one very specific context - groypers.
Context is always important.
Edit: Forgot to add - with Helldivers 2, the joke is you've got fascists dropping bombs while saying they are dropping bombs on fascists. Again, a meme reference for groypers.
Good question. I'll show you something then you decide or you want to dive into it further. It mostly far-right meme shit and doesn't make a lot of sense for outsiders.
80 years as one of the most recognizable anti fascist anthems vs some random Spotify playlist. Surely he referenced it because it carries the same weight as ASTRO - Slowed Opium Remix.
Honestly with this administration, I have a difficult time believing any evidence they provide. The head of the FBI is a fucking podcaster who was able to lie profusely to the point that he caught Trump's attention. That must take a lot of lying.
There is a post on front page of Reddit that said shooters granny said he was maga on her Facebook page but I did not see any proof of it one way or other.
Edit post is here now too

To be fair, my own granny died thinking I was still a card carrying Republican. Sometimes you don't tell Grandma you are a godless liberal. The old folks don't really need to know everything. Christmas gets kinda awkward if you do.
I am almost 70 grannies and such are long gone. I get to be a godless liberal with no side eye.
