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!!!)
Tyler Robinson's mugshot
Other sources:
Just read this piece, lines up with Axios saying that Robinson lived with a transgender roommate, which has also confirmed by Gov. Cox in a CNN interview in the last hour. Apparently said roommate is fully co operating with the FBI.
Surely this is the final nail in the coffin of the "Robinson was actually a groyper" stuff. Multiple accounts linked to Twiggs (as followers, not accounts run by Twiggs) have also been deleted over the past few hours. So people are definitely taking notice.
oh, so i've been on the reactionary websites such as the farms for the key wees, i am using these words to avoid the search engine
key = ki wees = wi put them together then add farms
but it seems they have been going extensively hard on these forums to stalk and hunt every bit of information on anybody slightly interacting with twiggs (the roommate)
some have spoken of elements sending pizzas to their houses, though it seems that the website userbase has adopted a strict doctrine to not talk about calling people or send pizzas on their forums anymore.
I strongly suspect they are harassing all those who have a slight connection.
i will confess it seems their userbase is many years older than I and, are well phrased in OSINT - commonly shitting on the general public OPSEC.
for the record lance is the roommate and not the shooter.
i was watching some tiktok influencer explain that being trans gender is not necessarily a "left wing thing". that if you go to the more political fringe ends there are transgender friendly elements that exist there.
this person (who i think is transgender) also talks about how while there is speculation on the motive - it is very likely it's a groyper because of the shell casing text. saying the "notices bulges OwO" is an adulteration of the original "notices bulge"
