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).

I can only assume all the engravers are shut for the weekend.

so these reactionaries apparently found the social media accounts of lance twiggs and tyler robinson

this apparently include a furaffinity account of tyler robinson

amusing that the kirk fanatics have furry accounts.

[–] Clippy@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

so the x account i linked is an reactionary account

so i am looking and found this "independent" who ironically adorn the pfp "what kind of american" who did some research on this by finding their reddit account.

it may have some credibility

archived threadreader iteration


the reactionary found the roomate's reddit account.


there is some media outlet who went to a data mining site and found a right wing family member who is a kirk fanatic that wept during the interview saying lance was transitioning and full of evil that hated christianity

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.

leftists are saying he’s a chud and chuds are saying he’s a leftist, but honestly the elephant in the room nobody is talking about is whiteboy on whiteboy violence 👆

anti-fascist rhetoric (bella ciao and "notices bulges OwO" included

this isn't antifa. lol.

bella ciao is a nick fuentes thing used to mock antifa (edit: they are trying to co-opt the song to mock leftist. zero chance some random idiot kid in Utah knows what that song is outside of being a groyper edit: the song is on the groyper war playlist #14. LOL )

bulges OwO is mocking furries and - again - a nick fuentes thing

[–] NewOldGuard@lemmy.ml 48 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean Bella ciao is an antifascist song, I’ve never heard it outside of that context. But I see your point I’m just not plugged in enough to know nick Fuentes use of the phrase

[–] frogbellyratbone_@hexbear.net 46 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (31 children)

I mean Bella ciao is an antifascist song

it's trying to be co-opted by groypers to mock the left (i wrote "was" an antifa song, that's not accurate as all my euro comrades keep informing me)

edit: the song is on the groyper war playlist #14. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0ais7KJXx8Gyd0hsrbakKW

"groyper war" is literally nick fuentes terminology for war on conservatives

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 46 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

Bella ciao is such a cool song with a great history. Depressing if groypers are trying to co opt it now. Thank god I have never run across that in the wild though, I’ve only ever seen it in legitimately antifascist contrxts

Get off discord. Delete your discord account. Change your phone number. Do not use discord.

Other points:

  • 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).

My personal speculation, take with a grain of salt because I have been wrong on some of this:
He will be charged with some level of terrorism. Cox laid the foundation with saying this was an attack on America itself, not just one person. We will hear more about an antifa discord group and there will be more investigation into antifa via RICO (they love the idea of RICO). We could see some more charges of discord users as accomplices. Banning of antifa groups on college campuses so that orgs like TPUSA can move in permanently and without official opposition.

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?

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 88 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I will die on the hill that says Charlie biting it from a UwU bullet is extremely funny

[–] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 51 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's funny and fitting for this, the dumbest possible timeline. Everybody is so brain poisoned even the bullets are ironic

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

the shooter has no name, no face, no ideology, no evidence. charlie kirk, in the midst of saying something truly disgusting, was shot in the neck and lots of blood spurted out and he died instantly. that is all that matters. the people saw their own truth in that and no further information could benefit us. the ruling class is going to unprecedented lengths to control people's thoughts about this because they're terrified that a revolution is closer than ever. they're telling us about a suspect to remind us that his life is over, making it about him so it wont be about charlie kirk, making us wonder what he meant by it so we'll forget what it meant to us. nothing the pigs or the capitalist media say is ever to be trusted, death to every single one of them. charlie kirk was assassinated for being a horrible monster and working to destroy the world. that's the end of the story.

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 54 points 2 days ago (8 children)

This guy was 100% a groyper. As predicted and expected.

If you don't think so then no offense but you don't know about groypers (which is good honestly).

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).

translation: "We've planted the false idea that the shooter was leftist, now please stop looking into it!"

Definitely proof that god doesn't exist... A god would made a guy named Mario to be the shooter for the funsies. Reality sucks.

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 44 points 2 days ago (2 children)

How fucked are we? No more than usual. No matter this guy's ideological beliefs, it will be "the radical left is destroying the country" as it has been for the last decade. They didn't "need" this to fuck us any harder.

Leftists have always been fucked, the right will always look for pretenses for repression.

Meaning, if you haven't readied up, do it now.

so the reactionary news papers (newyorkpost) that reported that tyler said kirk was "full of hate"

may just have really fucking awful reading comprehension

from this reporter

on the arrest report states

suggesting that it was the family member that said "kirk was full of hate" and not tyler

god damn amerikkka

The Governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, just said, "For the last 33 hours, I had been praying that this person (who murdered Charlie Kirk) was from another country. That he was not one of us because we are not like that. But it was one of us."
