Besides the fact that Robinson has a RW upbringing and connections to RW politics, the messages on the bullets are being described as representing "meme culture."
The governor said that notices bulge OWO 'what's this?' was engraved on one of the bullets. That's related to memes and furry culture.
notices bulge OWO 'what's this?': "Parody of furry/roleplay memes; sexual innuendo; trolling or mocking Originated in 2013 in furry/anime online subcultures and spread as a copypasta"
There were also some arrows inscribed. They are a reference to a game called Helldivers 2.
Reddit is describing Robinson as "terminally online."

It's also pathetic that the Utah governor told people to get off the internet and "touch grass." Apparently, he also needs to get off of the internet.

(11,803 posts)If true, and I imagine NYTimes verified and double-verified, having a reference to "Bella Ciao" associated with the killing sucks. I LOVE that song and even posted several versions of it here and on sez.us last week.

"Bella ciao" (Italian pronunciation: [ˈbɛlla ˈtʃaːo]) is an Italian song dedicated to the partisans of the Italian resistance, who fought against the occupying troops of Nazi Germany and the collaborationist Fascist forces during the liberation of Italy.
