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.
(Added by LangleyDominos)
- 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!!!)

I just don't get the mentality. Ok, you decided to assassinate your political opponent. Why write a bunch of cringy internet addict slogans on bullets? Does anyone think it's cool?
I will die on the hill that says Charlie biting it from a UwU bullet is extremely funny
It's funny and fitting for this, the dumbest possible timeline. Everybody is so brain poisoned even the bullets are ironic
Broke: brainworms
Woke: neckworms
Is that the one that got him?
uWu, notices your carotid artery * chomp *
It's not actually about taking out a political opponent. It's about getting attention and having online friends thinking you're cool. Yes there are probably some discord memers who think this is extremely epic/based/streets ahead
Trying to copy Luigi but has no original thought
God Luigi was legit cool
I don't care about anything else he did. The only thing he ever did of consequence was cool
allegedly
Doing years of lead but in the dumbest and most annoying way
Edit: so obviously the planted story about transgender messaging was pure fabrication and the MSM just ran with it cool cool
It's also possible the feds legit think these are transgender dog whistles, or they were trying to really stretch what being trans means. I wouldnt be surprised by either
thinking back to the thread yesterday about the doj's extremely "hello fellow children" nicknames for psilocybin
dude was a certified lib. that's the type of shit they do.
I mean, if the dude who shot Charlie Kirk is a lib then I dunno what a lib is anymore.
Edit: everyone is a liberal except me
libs don't know what libs are either; that's their whole shtick.
Adventurist libs still lib lol
Have you ever thought that the Egyptians were doing the same thing with their pyramids? It was cool back then and it's cool now!
Channers
Because the absurdity makes a greater mockery of Kirk's death. It changes it from a principled political act to one done for the lulz. And anything that belittles Kirk is ok by me.
