Somebody had a link to a kill charlie kirk themed groyper site and I think all the bullet etched memes were there. The kids grandma said she didn't know any democrats and republicans don't kill each other so they must have arrested the wrong kid. He is a registered republican and donated to trump*
A classmate called him a reddit kid as of 4-5 years ago (right wingers are circulating a redacted misquote that a classmate called him a "leftist") Like even if the kid wasn't a groyper he was likely being egged on by groypers.
There's also this article going into different ties:https://www.thecanary.co/trending/2025/09/12/charlie-kirk-suspect-is-a-gun-loving-trump-supporter/
All in all he's at the very least alt right.
*this last one may be a name mixup
As disappointed as I am, I don't see any concrete evidence to support the shooter is alt-right.
You are disregarding that the bullet text inscriptions are common alt-right memes? That the suspected killer is from a conservative family upbringing?
Or you don't believe those inscriptions have nothing to do with the alt-right movements? That the conservative family is also to be disregarded?
Now about more evidence of participation of the killer in alt-right movements, or other links, you can be damn sure the current US administration is not really intereesting in making any of that public anymore, since it goes against the current administration propaganda. If it was some "leftist" you can be damn sure there would be a deep investigation into the killers electronics, internet activity, and etc, to find other "leftists" and politicians to associate with him and ALL that would be publicized by Donald Trump himself.
Are "Hey fascist, catch", and "Bella ciao" alt-right memes? I know at least "Bella ciao" is an anarchist thing.
“Hey fascist, catch” is a phrase from a game popular among right wing gamers. The song and phrase “Bella ciao” have long been co-opted by the Groyper meme culture. See here for detailed explanations.
I've definitely seen some people say that nick fuentes called charlie kirk a fascist. I'm not going to sort through hours of footage on this though. Like most the alt right calls leftists fascist, this can be seen everywhere from alex jones to like all the right wing youtubers. Groypers see kirk as a leftist.
And "groyper war" (the groyper website dedicated to harassing charlie kirk) definitely had bella ciao memes.
Like I think with this shooter the memes all being from that site would be a hell if a coincidence if they're not related.
