🔥 Based on released police reports, the four messages Tyler scratched into his shell casings —messages the Times concluded were politically hard to pin down...

...— are all leftist slogans and antifascist video game references, as follows:

• Fired casing: “Notices Bulges OwO what's this?” (a transgender/furry culture meme about expressing surprise at erotic arousal while costumed)

• Unfired: “Hey fascist! Catch! ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️" (an antifascist slogan and reference to a game controller code that unleashes the “Eagle 500kg bomb” in the video game Helldivers 2; the code itself appears to be a reference to the antifa logo, consistent with antifascist themes from the game)

• Unfired: “Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao ciao ciao" (a song of the Italian antifascist resistance)

• Unfired: “If you read this, ur gay, lmao” (a joke about making someone think about an undesired topic, often used in LGBTQ+ online communities)...
