What is Charlie Kirk shooter suspect Tyler Robinson's Antifa connection? Discord messages, engraved bullet casings

As Tyker Robinson is all set to appear in the court today to be officially charged for the murder of Charlie Kirk, his Antifa connection is what’s making the social media chatter, as new information will emerge today in the documents that prosecutors will present today.The 22-year-old has been connected with Antifa (anti-fascist imagery and ideology), avid gaming and furry culture. He has also been in a relationship with Lance Twiggs, a trans person, transitioning from male to female.

Bella Ciao message on bullets

Bullet casings recovered from the scene of the shooting in Utah Valley University bore messages such as “Hey fascist! Catch!”, and the lyrics/phrases from “Bella Ciao” (an Italian anti-fascist resistance song).Another marking found on the casing was a three-arrow symbol, which is believed to have a historical association with European anti-fascist groups.

Discord messages

FBI confirmed that Robinson acknowledged in a Discord group that he killed Charlie Kirk. The agency has not ruled out the possibility that many people had knowledge of Robinson’s plan to kill Kirk as FBI said a note existed before the assassination in which Robinson said he had an opportunity to take out Kirk and he was going to do it.

Furry culture

Tyler Robinson was also associated with the furry subculture, which is a community based on anthropomorphic animal characters, known as “fursonas”. These characters have human and animal traits, which allow individuals to express themselves the way they want.Fursonas include species like wolves, foxes, dogs, cats and dragons. They usually connect with others through online platforms like Fur Affinity, WikiFur, conventions and social media. Some furries incorporate sexual elements as well.

Gryoper connection

Social media users speculated that Robinson was probably connected to Nick Fuentes’ Groypers who are extreme right-wingers. But FBI has now claimed that Robinson’s family collectively told the investigators that Robinson was influenced by left ideologies.
