Did Battiloro kill two teens out of revenge for Charlie Kirk?

This is a gifted NY Times article recounting the intentional killing of two teen girls with a car by Vincent Battiloro.

I saw this tweet alleging the killings were out of revenge for the girls’ bad mouthing Kirk.

The Times article says Battiloro told one of the girls to “quit running her mouth” but says nothing about Kirk.

Does anyone know anything about this?

4. Did he kill young white maga men?

‘Cause that’s who killed Kirk.

Oh yeah, and Kirk’s still dead and not coming back.

5. Seems like the major news outlets are burying that. Also the fact that the killer was an Andrew Tate fan.

Days before mowing down two 17-year-olds on the street, the accused teen killer revealed on a YouTube livestream that he had been tormenting one of his teen victims — in part, he says, because she laughed at the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
*snip*
The video where he addresses the stalking and Charlie Kirk was just one of several that remain online, where he appears to have spent enough time to amass a significant base of followers and develop a familiarity with current events and online figures such as the misogynist influencer Andrew Tate, whose human trafficking and rape prosecution the suspect was following when he was just 15 years old.

8. They should be making the point

That there is an epidemic of right-wing political violence. Combined with the fire at the judge’s house, this stuff is out of control.

Naturally, it proves the president is a liar.

6. There's a recording of him "pranking"/ stalking her by sending pizza to her house

and he says that she made fun of Kirk's death on TikTok. He says her mother should monitor her social media.

He was stalking and harassing her long before Kirk's death, but it certainly seemed to have set him off even more.

By the way, his whole family is MAGA creeps, and I mean all of them. We know publicly about the cop father and his uncle being the police chief of Westfield NJ, but literally the whole family are all cops and firefighter NJ MAGA trash. This guy was seeped in MAGA nonsense pretty much for the majority of his life.

The person on X is evidently correct.
