What we know about Charlie Kirk shooting suspect Tyler Robinson

Tyler Robinson mugshot

By KAREN VELIE

The 22-year-old suspect in the political assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was registered to vote with no political affiliation and had not voted in the past two elections. Tyler Robinson was arrested on Thursday evening.

He allegedly engraved antifascist messages on the ammunition he used such as, “Hey fascist! Catch!” He had recently become more political while noting his anger at Kirk, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said at a press conference on Friday morning

Robinson confessed to his father that he had shot and killed Kirk. His father then reached out to a family friend on Thursday night, who told the Washington County Sheriff’s Office that “Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident,” Cox said.

Robinson grew up in Washington, Utah, and earned a scholarship to Utah State University due to his strong academic record. After one semester, however, he dropped out.

Robinson is being held in the Utah County Jail on several initial charges including aggravated murder, discharge of a firearm and obstruction of justice.

Because the majority of this country are moderate Republicans ,Democrats and independents being forced to endure the morons from both fringes of this country.

Tyler Robinson: An American Hero. If only he had kept his mouth shut to his SNITCH of a dad.

It was an LGBTQ activist.

When the left calls Trump a Nazi, Fascist and pedophile, what did they think was going to happen!

One of his Lieutenants gets assassinated, you would think the left would be celebrating in the streets:(

If Hitler or one of his Lieutenants were assassinated before WW2 the assassin would be a hero, that’s the rhetoric that is being used by the left today, a very sad time for our country:(

Some of us ARE celebrating. If y’all are gonna let gun violence run rampant, then this is what you get.

Bottom line is this young man was out to silence free speech. Considering the firings of individuals who spoke their minds after the shooting and were fired or censured (even old Stephen King had to apologize for his comments), I would say Mr. Robinson was successful.

It looks like some programming is going on. First, it’s Thomas Crooks in Pennsylvania. We still don’t know what his motivation was. Now, this seemingly nice kid, from a solid family, destroys it all. I really hate to sound conspiratorial, but this stuff goes back to the late 50’s, the CIA and something they called MK Ultra. Which was real. Really.

I think most people considered Charlie Kirk a conversation starter, a person who wanted dialogue, in a world controlled by a stultified mass media. Somebody was threatened by that.

I remember those stories in the late 70’s and early 80’s, shortly after the end of the Vietnam War. I never believed any of it, but my own experiences late in my military career and after retirement from same suggested something was going on.


The only problem: I don’t believe the CIA was behind that stuff, but something sure was…

Tone down the hateful rhetoric… this goes for social media… politicians… and media… Trump won the election get over it… work to win the next election… you won’t do that by demonizing the other side….

“Tone down the hateful rhetoric” says the guy who voted for a “man” who speaks mostly in hateful rhetoric.

Tyler Robinson shot Charlie Kirk, a man, a husband, and a father, while he was giving a speech at a college event. He did so because he didn’t like the things that Mr Kirk said. He killed a man, ruined his own life, and destroyed two families for this reason.


Then you get guys like Internet Rambo spouting ignorant BS just so they can point fingers and pretend to get some sort of advantage for their twisted ideology. Wow…


An what a brave father to turn in his son that committed this heinous cowardly murder. My sympathy and respects to both families impacted by this crime.

Not a drag queen. Not transgender. Not a minority. Just a good old white boy from a strong trad Christian family.

nah, just a kid who got brainwashed by far left ideology, calling people nazis and fascists just because you disagree with them has consequences. tone down the rhetoric.

Have you actually paid attention to any reports? Or do you just make stuff up? Literally a white Norman from a maga supporting family. It’s bad enough it happened. Quit spreading bullshit and making it worse.

And Al Capone went to Catholic School. So what?


Obviously, Tyler’s good law abiding family life had nothing to do with his decisions to violently hate those who had a different opinion, and conclude that murder was the best answer to his own demented questions.


People are like that. Most decide to follow society as gentle humans to be considerate of others. Some decide to violate that society. Most are sad when horrific violence disrupts society. Some revel in it and strive to create more violence and disruptions with lies, distortions, and murder.


The difference, is obvious.

I wish that was true but if the shooter had been a Prius driving trans person who voted for Harris you would posting something different. Know how I know this? Already saw the maga gang post it. Your president blamed the crazed democrats. Senators blamed terrorist trans people. Care to watch things they said? I can post links.

But now it’s a maga white male issue all call for calm and cooler heads. Hypocrites

The Colorado Springs shooter identified as non binary.


The Denver shooter identified as trans.


The Aberdeen shooter identified as trans.


The Nashville shooter identified as trans.

So far there has been 375 mass shootings in 2025. That’s 4 out of 375 and the Utah shooting wasn’t a mass shooting.

Actually there have been over 500 and 94.5% have been committed by straight males (more than half were white)

Actually, he was in a relationship with his roommate…who is in transition. not transgender but…close enough.
