Charlie #Kirk assassination suspect Tyler Robinson (22 years old) confessed, according to hearsay, and was wearing the same clothes as the shooter. “Según el gobernador Cox, encontraron un rifle de cerrojo envuelto en una toalla oscura y con una mira telescópica. También encontraron inscripciones en los casquillos de las balas que decían, por ejemplo, “¡Oye, fascista! ¡Atrápalo!”, “Oh, bella ciao, bella ciao” y “Si lees esto eres gay jajaja”.” #USA #politics #history
Charlie #Kirk assassination suspect Tyler Robinson may have been #antifa: “Meanwhile, other casings could be interpreted as sympathetic to Antifa, or the anti-fascist movement, a loose collection of far-left activists who have been active in the US over the last decade and often demonstrate against Trump policies and far-right groups.
One unfired casing had the words “Hey fascist! Catch!” and an up, right and three down arrows.
The three down arrows alone could be a common symbol used for anti-fascism. As a whole, the sequence of arrows could reference a cheat code in a video game - although this remains unclear, and authorities have not yet released images of the casings.
A second casing was inscribed with lyrics to the song “Bella Ciao” that honours World War Two-era partisans of the Italian resistance who fought Nazi Germany.” #USA #politics #history #oh-shit
“An official emblem of the Social Democratic Party of Germany and its paramilitary wing the Iron Front; anti-fascist symbol designed to deface the Nazi swastika. (...) The Three Arrows symbol is popularly used within the #antifa movement in the United States, along with flags based on the symbol of antifa in Germany. Sections of the American Left, including the Young People’s Socialist League, have adopted the Three Arrows as a logo.” #history #Kirk
#Kirk assassination suspect: “The bolt-action rifle Robinson used and left in a wooded area near the campus had various phrases engraved on the bullet casings, Cox said, including “Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao ciao,” which appeared to reference an Italian anti-fascist song.” #USA #politics
