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.
As disappointed as I am, I don't see any concrete evidence to support the shooter is alt-right.
Best summary that I've come accros is this one on PolitiFact.
There's no clear proof so far to show he's a groyper or right-wing in general. But this source at least explains very clearly how the messages engraved on the bullets can hardly be taken as indicators of left-wing stance, and that they rather show that the intention of the killer was to dog-whistle to some friends and to confuse as many parts of the public as possible (see the last section "Internet finds meanings for mysterious etchings on bullet casings"). From that, the vibe he gives me that he's an alt-right 4chan edgelord kind of guy, but proof for this has yet to come.
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.
