On Friday, Tyler Robinson, 22-year-old native of Utah, Federal law enforcement identified as suspect Murdering Charlie Kirk. During a Friday press conference, officials said news was engraved on several bullet shells recovered from hunting rifles found near the crime scene.
At the press conference, officials seemed to look at the inscription literally, that they attributed their meanings at all. But four messages, apparently written by the so-called shooter, seem to evoke references to various memes and video games.
One of the casings is said to have the word “Hey Fascist! Capture!” engraved. Then there are the upward arrows, the right arrows and three downward arrows. This sequence is obviously a reference to the “Eagle 500kg bomb” in the popular third-person shooter Hell 2. Bombs have become memes hell The community is ridiculous.

hell Probably not the only game reference on the casing. Another candle is allegedly engraved with the lyrics of the famous Italian folk song “Bella Ciao” which translates directly into “Goodbye Beautiful”. The song has a connection to Italy’s post-war anti-fascist movement, which has been revived on social media in recent years. It is worth noting that “Bella Ciao” is of great significance to the rebels in the mission Lonely Cry 6a video game on the fictional Caribbean island ruled by dictators.
