    The markings on the bullets described by authorities indicate that the suspect, Tyler Robinson, was steeped in online culture and included references to the Antifa , or the anti-fascist, movement.

    A fired shell casing was inscribed with “notices bulges OwO what’s this?” - a reference to a “copypasta” - a piece of text that is repeated over and over again, often to troll people online.

    Authorities say one unfired casing had the words “Hey fascist! Catch!” and three down arrows - a common symbol used to represent the anti-fascist movement.

    A second casing had the lyrics to a song “Bella Ciao” inscribed on it. The song honours WWII-era partisans of the Italian resistance who fought Nazi Germany.

    The third unfired casing was inscribed with the words “If you read this, you are gay lmao” - again an apparent reference to online trolling humour.

      From another source about the arrows:

      Law enforcement officials revealed that Robinson inscribed the sequence up arrow, right arrow, down arrow, down arrow, down arrow on casings, which may be a reference to the co-op shooter Helldivers 2. In the game, the code triggers a 500KG bomb, one of the most destructive stratagems available to players.

      So you know that RF Brain worm Jr is going to have a field day with this true or not.

    “There is one person responsible for what happened here and that person is now in custody and will be charged soon and will be held accountable,” he adds

    I’m totally expecting a fair trial now.
    What a relief…

      Apparently he confessed to his dad, and his dad did his best Daniel Jones impression and immediately called the cops.

        His dad called a youth pastor, who then called the police. It’s in the linked article.

          His dad is a Morman sheriff in Utah…

          Besides his skin tone being “blank piece of copy paper” that’s likey the main reason he was taken in alive.

          It’s not like he told his “dad” so much as turned himself in.

          There’s going to be a lot of pressure for him to plea out, that way the government can say whatever they want. He might even get Epstein’s in jail, they’ve already committed to a narrative, they can’t let him take the stand or worse start giving interviews about why he did it

              That was before they knew who he was…

              They want a Black transexual with blue hair, and they got a white suburban kid from a prominent Mormon and Republican family…

              Maga is scared shitless of the Mormon, if they break away Republicans are fucked without Utah.

              And their more loyal to a random member of their own church than to trump. trump is going to quickly pivot to wanting everyone to stop paying attention by Monday.

    What kind of horrible parent turns their kid in during THIS administration. The ignorant fools have probably gotten their own son killed.
