What could, "hey fascist, catch" along with the bomb code from an anti-fascist satirical video game, engraved onto a bullet mean for a person many people call a fascist possibly mean? He wasn't fascist-enough?

"Tyler Robinson, who turned himself in for murdering right wing activist Charlie Kirk, was not acting on left wing ideals but was deeply influenced by the far right "Groyper" movement led by Nick Fuentes.
Robinson grew up in a MAGA household, his father was a police officer, and he was surrounded by guns from a young age. Family photos even show him dressed as Pepe the Frog for Halloween, a character that has become a Groyper mascot.
When police examined his ammunition, they discovered Robinson had scratched "Bella Ciao" onto a casing. Though the song began as an anti fascist anthem, it has been co-opted into the online ecosystem of Groypers and incels, and it even shows up on the "Groyper War" playlist on Spotify. This mix of memes, music, and menace reflects how the far right glamorizes violence and recruits followers while hiding behind irony.
Before any of this was known, Donald Trump blamed "the radical left" and Elon Musk claimed Democrats are "the party of murder." Both owe the country an apology. The reality is a huge percentage of political violence in recent years has come from the right. Officials in Evergreen Colorado confirmed that the 16 year old boy who carried out a shooting just moments after Kirk's was ALSO radicalized online by far right propaganda.
Conservatives need to face the truth that their MAGA movement with countless right wing dudebro podcasters is radicalizing an entire generation of young men across this country."

Sitzkrieg...it seems pretty obvious he is a Groyper. See #111 as well

I found a number of sources who accused him of saying something like that but couldn't find actual quotes. One source would copy/paste maybe a full sentence usually less and then fill in the blanks with no links to his quote in full context. That raises a big flag for me. The other sources on the first page and a half assigned positions without any actual quotes at all. One source said he referenced Leviticus 20:13 in the Old Testament. Now, if one were to read the actual text and only the text, I can see how it would apply to gay people (the text doesn't even imply trans). Anyone who spent some time studying religion understands that the reason the various Christian sects beyond the Bible itself exist is because the Bible is not a literal document. Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, etc are all religious institutions not just a book.
This is what AI says:
" Interpretations of the verse:
Timeless divine law: Some interpret the passage as establishing a universal and enduring moral standard from God.
Cultural/historical context: Others see it as a cultural artifact reflecting the specific societal norms of ancient Israel, suggesting that it may not be directly applicable today.
Reinterpretation: A third perspective suggests reinterpreting the passage within more inclusive theological frameworks."

Damn. How can you twist this much to defend Kirk? It's amazing.

It wasn't hard to find. Took less than a minute.

Other interpretations are pointless. We are talking about what KIRK said he believes and should happen.

Charlie Kirk: "Thou shall lay with another man, shall be stoned to death. Just saying... The chapter...affirms God's perfect law when it comes to sexual matter."
