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!!!)

Since you are our resident Groypologist, is there a reason why a nick fuentes fan would hate charlie kirk? I genuinely don't know much about this guy except that he's a nazi who likes to eat boogers
He wants Kirk's audience and market share after he sensed weakness because of Kirk's Epstein capitulation
They were currently fighting "THE GROYPER WAR" against Kirk, the playlist of songs for this campaign has a song titled 'Bella Ciao'
Ok nevermind. What is the most efficient way of evicting this information from my brain?
Absinthe
I am so confused. How the fuck can a Nazi like Fuentes coopt Bella fucking Ciao?
i think it's supposed to an ironic thing, like "look at how self important these leftists are with their little slogans"
There's quite a bit of compelling info in this thread. I am definitely not up on groyper cosmology.
They are nihilistic edgelords, imagine the nazi version of a Gonzaloist that got radicalized in 2020 from listening to Chapo and Nick Mullen (but then got introduced to a network of much further left people with really violent ideologies, this part doesn't really exist IRL).
I enjoy Chapo, but never heard of Nick Mullen and I have no idea what a Gonzaloist is lol.
Lol that is so good, genuinely happy for you my friend
Uh Nick Mullen is a silly comedian, who does humor like impressions and that (CW: 'ironic' racism), known for a podcast called 'Cumtown', but supports Zohran Mamdani cuz he's a demsoc
Gonzaloist - Abimael Guzman, leader of the Senderos Lumineros (Shining Paths), Communist Party of Peru ultra-left splinter group that fought with both rightist state forces and other leftist, indigenous movements
Most famous for the 1983 Lucanamarca Massacre, where, in reprisal to one of their members being killed by state-backed ronda militias, they massacred a bunch of peasants/campesinos.
Ah OK. I've heard of cumtown, but I never got into it. I've seen stuff from a couple 'alums' (Stav and Adam), but wouldn't know Nick if I saw/heard him. Fuck sendero luminoso.
Terminally online 4chan Nazis do stuff like this all the time. Everything goes as long as you are being "ironic".

I think this is the most likely theory, but we probably won't know for sure until we get the discord chat logs. Interesting that there was so little info given on those so far.
