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!!!)
