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!!!)

taking into account the other two casings, dude either specifically wrote down shit like that to make himself seem like a lib or is genuinely a lib. i just didn’t write down what the other casings said.
you might be right, but counterargument / i don’t read it like that: the gay thing is an edgy homophobic online joke. the catch this fascist is trolling.
i’m putting all my money on it that this is a nick fuentes groyper loser.
this is what the casings said (redirect to BBC). i’ve got no idea what the dude might be but so far he seems like a lib-adjacent internet-brainrotted cornball. something something wait and see
Which means the media will take it as he is a radical leftist who was trying to resurrect Lenin with a blood sacrifice to Baphomet.
If we wanted to resurrect Lenin, I think we’d use a more badass sacrifice than some idiot conservative commentator. Or we’d use someone no one would notice missing. And we wouldn’t perform the sacrifice with a rifle at a public event, we’d set up a proper ritual somewhere. We’ve got a wide range of religious and occult tradition practices among the left, current and former practitioners of both types of ritual practices, surely we have folks who could write a decent ritual for that.
But then, we wouldn’t use a Western style ritual sacrifice to try to resurrect Lenin. That’s a job for Juche Necromancy, anyone who knows anything about The Left knows that!
There were inscriptions on casings found within the rifle, Cox said. The inscription on the fired casing said: “notices, bulges, OWO, what’s this?”
Three unfired casings also had inscriptions, Cox said.
One read, “Hey fascists! Catch!” with an up arrow, a right arrow and three down arrows.
The second said, “Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao.”
The third, “If you read this, you are gay LMAO.”

Wait the Helldivers thing was on the “hey fascist catch”? Isn’t Helldivers intended to be ironic like starship troopers? Absolutely nonsensical shit
