After the suspected shooter has been detained, the FBI held a press conference to report on the case and announce the next steps going forward. Spoiler: we, as leftists, are fucked.
Key points:
- The shooter is Tyler Robinson of Utah.
- His friend reported him to the FBI.
- Tyler’s Discord messages have been used as evidence, as provided by his roommate.
Robinson has been reported to be getting increasingly political, and during dinner one day, he spoke about how Kirk was “full of hate”.UPDATE 4: Tyler did not say that.- The casings do not contain any trans references. But they do have anti-fascist rhetoric (bella ciao and “notices bulges OwO” included) and symbols engraved in them.
- Tyler was taken into custody on September 11th, 10 PM local time.
- The investigation is still ongoing.
- One guy cried while speaking.
- Thousands of more leads of potential accomplices are being followed.
- No other arrests are known
- Tyler drove to campus on a car.
- It’s not known if Tyler is mentally ill.
- The charging documents will be filed 3 days from now (September 16), then a preliminary hearing will take place.

- Patel awkwardly trying to signal the Norse viking larp shit. “Charlie, I’ll see you in Valhalla”
- Utah Governor Cox told everyone to log off and stop consuming rage bait, called social media a cancer, and that everyone should “touch grass” (his actual words).
UPDATES
UPDATE 1: Tyler apparently donated to TRUMP??? WHAT- UPDATE 2: ignore update 1
- UPDATE 3: new link to donations check (POTENTIALLY MISLEADING!!!)
Tyler Robinson’s mugshot
Other sources:
in this post i will look for those news outlets who attribute the comment that kirk was “full of hate” to Tyler Robinson
New York post
later changed to
from looking at reddit i can see the source that the New York post attributed the comment “full of hate” to tyler robinson.
the text the nypost says which insinuates this
hindustantimes attributes the full of hate comment to tyler
Tyler Robinson also stated that Charlie Kirk ‘was full of hate and spreading hate’.
so i am looking through the multiple iterations of that guardian text box about the suspect’s highschool friend before they eventually ending up redacting it - i find it worth noting seeing how they intentionally bold some of the words and then unbold them as more information comes out.
this link has the first two updates on highschool friend before it was redacted
first update on highschool friend
second update on friend
third iteration (redact)
(i will state for the record, i suspected he was just another rightwinger/gyorper who called the guardian for shits and giggles, an action with similar weight to calling in a swatting/false school shooter [but less consequences], as my understanding is that they are acceleration adjacent. my confidence in that assumption was lowered as the guardian indicated this was a “verified” source)
Kash Patel: “To my friend Charlie Kirk. Rest now, brother. We have the watch. And I’ll see you at Valhalla”
Utah Governor Cox told everyone to log off and stop consuming rage bait, called social media a cancer, and that everyone should “touch grass” (his actual words).
translation: “We’ve planted the false idea that the shooter was leftist, now please stop looking into it!”

The part with the high school classmate claiming he was “left wing” got removed
as more info comes out it seems like the shooter was further right and fascistical than charlie kirk
god damn amerikkka
The Governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, just said, “For the last 33 hours, I had been praying that this person (who murdered Charlie Kirk) was from another country. That he was not one of us because we are not like that. But it was one of us.”
the shooter has no name, no face, no ideology, no evidence. charlie kirk, in the midst of saying something truly disgusting, was shot in the neck and lots of blood spurted out and he died instantly. that is all that matters. the people saw their own truth in that and no further information could benefit us. the ruling class is going to unprecedented lengths to control people’s thoughts about this because they’re terrified that a revolution is closer than ever. they’re telling us about a suspect to remind us that his life is over, making it about him so it wont be about charlie kirk, making us wonder what he meant by it so we’ll forget what it meant to us. nothing the pigs or the capitalist media say is ever to be trusted, death to every single one of them. charlie kirk was assassinated for being a horrible monster and working to destroy the world. that’s the end of the story.
so the reactionary news papers (newyorkpost) that reported that tyler said kirk was “full of hate”
may just have really fucking awful reading comprehension
on the arrest report states
suggesting that it was the family member that said “kirk was full of hate” and not tyler
It’s grover.
leftists are saying he’s a chud and chuds are saying he’s a leftist, but honestly the elephant in the room nobody is talking about is whiteboy on whiteboy violence 👆
They’re so violent it’s in their culture
I was saying today that this dude is a full lib. He’s a lib who sees what’s happening and doesn’t understand why. He knows we should hate fascists and fascism, and probably knows the “last time” fascism was around people did the “right thing” and fought the fascist state, yet no one is doing that. He knows the broad strokes of history but not the material forces of history. “We fought the fascist in WW2! Why isn’t anyone fighting them now!?” He diverged from his conservative upbringing but it provided him a particular set of skills. He had no plan for after the deed, he had no group he was linking up with, just a lib backed into a corner with no support to pull them into actual organizing.Nevermind, he’s a Groyper!
White boy summer is so back
is the sun setting on white boy summer, or is the beach opening for a new, more sinister one? 🤔
White Pride before the fall
To be honest I don’t buy the groyper theory at all. The suspect here apparently told his family that he disliked Kirk for “spreading hate”. I’m pretty sure that’s not the groyper critique of Kirk. Also pointing at playlists with 30 saves or videogame mods with 90 installs about how Bella ciao has been reclaimed or “fascist catch” is from a videogame is not convincing evidence. Neither is judging from his appearance. If average looking white dudes couldn’t be leftist, this website would not exist. And the “Republican donation” is most likely not the suspect, the donation appears to have been made by a 30 year old, and not him (who would have been 17 at the time). There are probably many people with the same name in Utah. Pointing at his parents politics makes little sense either.
To be honest it all sounds like a load of cope from Reddit and Bluesky because “one of their own” may have just killed a political commentator, and they want to deflect at all costs to claim some moral high ground and muddy the waters.
The part that’s really going to screw the left or liberals over is the public reaction over the past few days, and not necessarily the motives of the suspect. 1000s of people have likely been already fired because the right is straight up doxxing everyone who celebrated the killing of Kirk and contacting their employers, and bragging about getting them fired. With so many liberals posting (under their real name and profile photo) about how glad they are that Kirk died, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel for the right wing doxxers. This kind of thing (openly celebrating death of political opponents) is severely off putting for most apolitical/normal people, which is why so many people are losing their jobs . Kirk could have died in his sleep at this point, the reaction has sealed it.
The one thing I find really sad is his parents Facebook posts being plastered all over the internet. By all accounts this kid had a good life and was doing well, and threw it all away to assassinate a political commentator. That’s just sad.
4Chan is in panic mode, they know it’s Nick lmao
The Bella Ciao co-opt meme tipped it off
PC Police are on the scene
