Additionally, the bullet casings found near the murder weapon were engraved with slogans including 'hey fascist! catch!' and 'O Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Ciao, ciao!', which is an Italian anti-fascist song, suggesting that Robinson may have held anti-fascist or left-wing views [2]. Other sources also mention that Robinson engraved messages into bullet casings, including 'Hey, fascist! Catch!', which suggests that he may have held strong anti-fascist or anti-conservative views [3]. It is also worth noting that Robinson's family is registered Republican, but Robinson himself is currently registered to vote unaffiliated with any party [4].
