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

the text the nypost says which insinuates this
The suspect went on about how he “didn’t like [Kirk] and the viewpoints he had,’’ said Utah Gov. Spencer Cox at a press briefing, explaining a family friend at the dinner had recalled the exchange for authorities. Robinson raged that “Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate,” Cox said, quoting the family pal — who acknowledged he was turned off by the level of vitriol being spewed by the suspect.
