So the fake claims of "trans" and "antifa" symbols comes from both ammo stamps and casing inscriptions wrongly reported.

They try to paint Tyler as left, but like Crooks this is a fringe right wing Groyper.

Here's the details on registered Republican, Tyler Robinson:

2/10

The casings read:

-Notices bulges OWO what's this?"

An old meme that started from Tumblr and is now frequently made fun of in alt-right groups like Groypers when "transvestigating"

3/10

Second casing read:

-Oh Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao Ciao Ciao

A song popularized during WWII as part of the anti-fascists movement in Italy.

The heavily catholic alt-right Gyopers have used this song when mocking left activists but also

4/10

Individuals like Fuentes have called Charlie Kirk a "liberal in disguise" "a globalist" "a fascist" and a "fake conservative.

This matches with the third casing reading:

"Catch this fascist"

5/10

The last casing read:

"If you are reading this you are gay, lmaoooo"

Part of the deeply homophobic anti-lgbtq culture of groups like Groypers.

The arrested subject is a 22-year old white male Christian, who wore a donald trump riding costume for Halloween, and grew up in his formative years during the pandemic when Groyper culture took off.

7/10

He and has father, who was a Sheriff in rural Utah, went hunting and fishing and to gun shows frequently.

8/10

Tyler himself was a registered republican and previously donated $224.48 to Trump campaigns.

9/10

He was clearly not well.

He was steeped in hateful online culture from alt-right Groyper sources, with easy access to guns.

He was taught an ideology that "fake fascists conservatives" were ruining America.

This is not some DSA blue-haired liberal.

10/10

While foreign bots amplify hateful messages of "dangerous left wing rhetoric" its the divide on the right, with extreme messages that has allowed societies most unwell to see the glorification of hate and violence.

He had every mark of a Groyper.

Minor edit:

Conflicting reports on if he was a registered Republican or had no registration.

You can still donate without registering.

People complaining about Bella Ciao being Antifa when it’s literally on a Groyper war branded music playlist referencing the “first Groyper war” which was “Groyper against Kirk”

When both 4chan and Grok, can call it out, you know it’s accurate.

Two of the least pro-left sources imaginable think Groyper or other far-right fringe

TMZ has confirmed with Discord that the claim that Tyler had “planned the shooting” with “left wing groups” on Discord was untrue.
