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).

Obviously a hate crime against fascists, the most discriminated minority of our time liberty-weeping

clearly proof that we need to bring Patriot Front guest speakers to all our schools to teach our kids to stop picking on vulnerable far-right ideologues (it’s also proof that we have to stop kids from consuming radicalizing media like um uhhh 2019 shitposting and helldivers)

Apologies ahead of time I'm not sure where to post this but I saw something interesting come my way and this looks like the most realevent post-kirk thread:

(YOUTUBE LINK WITH AUTOPLAY) From April 2024, might have been the /exact/ meme the casing was referencing

Context too for anyone unaware: Hell Divers 2 is a videogame and it has dialogue that parodies fascist projection. Despite the human super earth empire (or whatever it's called) being explicitly brazenly fascist, they always call aliens fascist and themselves democratic. And uh, yeah internet fascists don't care that it's a parody. They think super earth is good and sympathize with it as a bit (a bit in the sense that they know the game was made as a parody but they venerate the things they're parodying regardless. It's a tangled mess of ideology and internet brain rot.)

Pretty sure that yappers who get killed by a buwullet don't go to valhalla.

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

A lib would have at least written Slava Ukraini, or some racist rant about Russians, the Krasnov stuff or you know the usual homophobic stuff about Trump being gay with "Putler".

A groyper. Another right wing infighting.
