As more information comes out about Charlie Kirk's alleged murderer, the one thing that seems to be evident about his ideological positions is that he was either a part of or highly sympathetic to Antifa.
As Andy Ngo reported on X, the bullet casings that belonged to the shooter had various things carved into them, including Antifa slogans and symbols.
Charlie Kirk assassination presser: Suspect Tyler Robinson allegedly wrote some Antifa phrases on fire casings: "Hey fascist!" and "oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao."
The lyrics are to an old Italian protest song now used by Antifa as a theme song.
Arrow symbols: up arrow, right arrow, and three down arrow symbols (these were not shown, just verbally described)

While unconfirmed, the arrow pattern being described matches the pattern you enter on a D-Pad to summon the 500kg bomb in the video game "Helldivers 2," though it also should be noted that the Antifa symbol (or at least one of them) has three arrows facing downward and to the left. I'm not sure if this is connected in some way, but it's worth noting.
If Antifa were directly involved in the mentality this kid had, then I think this should be the final nail in its coffin.
Antifa is a terrorist organization hostile to the United States of America and its people. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about this. They're quite open about their hatred of the republic, and whenever they can directly and actively cause violence to upset or disrupt it, they do.
They were directly involved in the escalation of the Black Lives Matter riots. They were part and parcel of many riots that occurred on university campuses, as well as efforts to keep conservative speakers from talking to students. They were responsible for the CHAZ/CHOP takeover of Seattle.
Back in 2019, a member of Antifa was responsible for attempting to firebomb an ICE facility, which AOC refused to denounce.
Recently, they attacked a Christian worship service, and one of them even charged at a mother and her small children. Thankfully, police were there to stop and arrest him.
Antifa operates with impunity in various parts of the United States, and they do so because blue city and state leaders refuse to do anything about them. Like a cancer, they only grow and become more deadly the more they're not dealt with.
And now, Antifa's influence (if not Antifa directly) appears to have taken the life of Charlie Kirk.
Antifa has benefited from the protection of Democrats and the leftist media for a very, very long time. It seems no matter how far they go, the left is always willing to turn a blind eye, make excuses, or even venerate these people. They hold them up as what they claim to be: "anti-fascist," but say nothing when they prove to be the real fascists in the room.
Back in 2019, a bill was introduced to label Antifa as a domestic terrorist group by Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA). This bill died in the Judiciary Committee. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced H.Res.26, which effectively does the same thing just recently.
Would this help to officially label them a terrorist organization? Symbolically, yes. Legally? No. There's not really any legal framework to help us create an official domestic terrorist label in the same way we do with foreign entities.
There's a strong possibility that RICO laws can be used, which don't just come down on the guy who pulled the trigger, but the organization behind the pulling of said trigger. While they're decentralized, Antifa does have chapters and cells that operate in the open. This could make them somewhat vulnerable to pursuit from the federal government, which is likely what will have to happen since some blue states and cities actively protect and support their Antifa chapters.
No matter what route they end up using, Antifa has to be stopped. Its funding has to be investigated. Its members should be exposed.
It's clear Antifa is a dangerous organization and one that poses a threat to the innocent, and indeed, this country.
