Tyler Robinson, 22, has been identified as the Charlie Kirk shooter. Looking at his mother’s Facebook page, he was raised in the stereotypical all-American white conservative family with a sheriff who has served for 27 years as his father. Tyler was immersed in the gun culture. Tyler, 22, doesn’t appear to be transgender, or an immigrant, or a “radical left lunatic.” A family member said Tyler thought Charlie Kirk was “full of hate” and disliked him.
One bullet casing read, “If you read this, you are gay. lmao”
A reporter asked Utah Governor Cox how investigators tracked Tyler Robinson down, BBC reports.
Cox said they know that Robinson drove. His car was on campus, then he went south back to Washington City in Washington County, Utah. Another journalist asked whether Kirk’s death represents a “watershed moment” for this country. “This is a watershed moment, but we don’t yet know what kind,” Cox said.
He said this moment “feels a lot like the late 60s” and described social media as a “cancer”, adding that humans are not “biologically capable of processing… violent imagery”.
