Here’s your “Paper Of Record”, folks. It’s no wonder they are referred to as the Fish Wrap
The Police Found Messages After Kirk’s Killing. What They Mean Is Unclear.
When investigators in the killing of Charlie Kirk found a bolt-action rifle near the site where he was shot on a Utah campus, they said they also found casings scrawled with what seemed to be mysterious messages.
One read, “hey fascist! CATCH! (up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols),” according to an affidavit filed on Friday in a Utah court.
If the reference to fascism appeared to be straightforward, the arrows were most likely understandable only to certain subsets of gamers. They seem to refer to the popular video game Helldivers 2 and its sequence of controller moves to unleash a powerful bomb.
“It’s a joke in the Helldivers community that you can shut down any argument you disagree with by entering ^ > vvv and blowing the whole thing up,” Steve Iannelli, 38, a mechanical engineer and experienced player of the game who lives in Baltimore, said in an email.
So……the meaning is pretty damned clear to everyone else but the three NY Times idiots who wrote this. Did they also write the headline, or, was that an editor? Maybe they’re just trying to avoid mentioning that Democrats, from elected to the chattering class to the peasants, led by Credentialed Media outlets like the NY Times, have been calling Trump and anyone around him Fascists?
The messages found on the casings — including puerile jokes and a reference to a popular Italian song — are rooted in that coded communication style of the habitually online.
Even the reference to fascism has a clear echo in Helldivers 2, a satirical science fiction game in which the player battles an alien invasion on behalf of an Earth that is ruled by a thinly veiled fascistic government.
Nice try. Robinson simply used messages from online in the same way people repeat lines from TV shows and movies. I use many in real life, like, “don’t want none, don’t start none” from The Losers. “If ifs and buts were candies and nuts we’d all have a great Christmas” from Wings. “People aren’t wearing enough hats” from Monty Python’s Meaning Of Life. And others. Those of us who live in Reality Land know exactly what the Fascist message means
But these messages are difficult to parse. Internet in-jokes and references are slippery things, often deployed with multiple layers of irony. That left many Americans trying to crack the enigmatic messages: Was Mr. Robinson a man of the left or of the right, or something else entirely?
In a news conference on Friday morning, Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah, a Republican, said that the phrase “hey fascist! CATCH!” clearly showed the gunman’s intent. “I think that speaks for itself,” he said.
But even that message, which many on the right believed placed Mr. Robinson on the far left, may not be a reliable signpost to the suspect’s political beliefs.
They’re really trying this?
Mr. Rivera said he did not know whether Mr. Robinson had political views. According to the affidavit, investigators interviewed one of his family members, who said that Mr. Robinson had “become more political in recent years.”
They forgot to mention
(UK Independent) Robinson reportedly expressed negative views of Kirk and had spoken with a family member the day before the shooting “who also stated Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate,” Cox said
Why’d the Times forget that?
Then there was the message that read, “O Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Ciao, ciao!,” likely a reference to the popular Italian folk song “Bella Ciao.” Popularized as an antifascist anthem in Italy after World War II, it resurfaced globally in recent years because of its inclusion in the hit Netflix series “Money Heist” and in video games, including the first-person shooter game Far Cry 6.
The song is still well-known as antifascist. It was sung as a protest last year by progressive members of the European Parliament during a visit by Viktor Orban, Hungary’s far-right prime minister.
Yeah yeah yeah, the leftards have been calling themselves anti-Fascists since the 1st Trump term. The message is clear. Except in Liberal World. If the big shots in the Dem party are going to call Trump and all Republicans Fascists, Nazis, etc, and say that “Democracy Is On The Line!!!!” constantly, you’re going to get results.
Is Trump a fascist? Kind of.
OTOH,
Of Liz Cheney Mr Trump said:
“She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it … when the guns are trained on her face.”
“Enemies from within”. Media, critics, Democrats, liberals, academics… anyone who crosses him.
“Sleazebag, lunatic, lowlife” Adam Schiff.
“Blood thirsty criminals”, “animals,” “stone cold killers,” the “worst people,” and the “enemy from within.” – migrants and others.
The left is “vicious”, “radical”, “dangerous”.
Whites have “good genes”, migrants have “bad genes”.
Traitors, and/or committed treason:
Barack Obama
Christopher Krebs
Miles Taylor
Rupert Murdoch
Liz Cheney, Jaime Herrera Beutler, and Peter Meijer and all Repubs who voted for impeachment
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl
Michael Cohen
James Comey
John Brennan
Trump has had his DOJ conduct investigations of some of these people.
Individuals and organizations targeted for “cancellation”:
Matthew Dowd: The MSNBC political analyst was fired from the network after comments he made about Kirk during a broadcast were criticized by conservatives. Dowd said on air that “hateful words” lead to “hateful actions” in a segment about the shooting, which was interpreted as blaming Kirk for his own death.
Stephen King: The author repeatedly apologized for a tweet he made about the shooting that was widely criticized as insensitive.
Public school teachers: Multiple school districts have launched investigations into teachers following accusations from right-wing figures that they made inappropriate comments about Kirk’s assassination.
Various professionals: Journalists, military members, and government employees have been identified and targeted online by right-wing activists for their comments regarding Kirk’s death.
Efforts to identify and punish Kirk’s critics:
Social media campaigns: Right-wing figures, including Laura Loomer and Chaya Raichik (operator of Libs of TikTok), have used social media to organize campaigns to identify and harass individuals who have not properly mourned Kirk or who have been critical of him. Loomer boasted about exposing “dozens” of people and said she hoped they would lose their jobs.
Call for permanent bans: Figures like Representative Clay Higgins have called for individuals celebrating Kirk’s death to be “banned from ALL PLATFORMS FOREVER”.
Legal and political action: Some conservative figures have called for more extreme measures, such as deporting critics or suing them. Following the killing, President Trump has also escalated his attacks on political opponents, causing concern among critics that it could be used as a pretext to move more aggressively against them.
Again let Professor Sowell explain… as only he can do.
Bwaha! Lolgf Losers!
MAGA47 Motherfuckers!
All WAY TOO CONVENIENT to be blindly believed. This was obviously yet another DEEP STATE HIT.
Yeah, vote for this asshole.
Guess that message is unclear also.

Mamdani is a communist. There is no point trying to parse what kind of communist he is. The democratic party owns NYC and democrats are fine voting for whichever ham sandwich the Party tells them to vote for. The real point of the Mamdani race is the proof in the pudding that there are no “moderate democrats”. They are all in it together. They are all on the same side. They will break as many eggs as they need to to make that omelet.
“Robinson reportedly expressed negative views of Kirk and had spoken with a family member the day before the shooting ‘who also stated Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate,’ Cox said.”
And yet, Charlie Kirk never shot anyone, nor did he ever incite violence.
Remember kids, whenever the left accuses you of hate, they are revealing to you their own state of mind. Take it seriously.
