Charlie Kirk shot

[Timber Rattler]

His mother was a social worker?  There ya go.

That doesn't mean much.  I know some social workers who are solid conservatives and actually do good work for truly abused kids.  I don't see anything in this family thus far that suggests its Liberal and/or radical.  Heck, from the posted pics, the father and brother look to me like good flag-waving Patriotic dudes who like to shoot guns like most of us 2A folks here.

Sounds to me like this kid was radicalized at whatever college he went to with that $32,000 scholarship.

This is completely uncalled for! I imagine his parents did everything they could to raise him right.

Agreed 100%  It's totally unfair to attack mom and dad in this case (unless some other evidence materializes), when it was the cop dad who quickly turned his son in, for what will probably end up as a death sentence and execution.

[Ghost Bear]

Just want to point out, if the suspect's father had not turned him in, the FBI and law enforcement would still be scratching their heads and shrugging their shoulders wondering who could have done it.

You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when someone dies.

They need to leave them alone. They've not only got to deal with the fact their kid is the shooter...but they also have to deal with the fact they had to be the ones that had to turn their boy in. They're suffering enough.

Agree 100%. The parents are going through their own version of hell which they will never escape. Never. It is quite possible their son was corrupted by institutions, not their parenting.

Excerpt:
In a twist that’s equal parts heartbreaking and heroic, the manhunt for the assassin who gunned down conservative powerhouse Charlie Kirk ended not with a dramatic raid, but with a father’s gut-wrenching decision to do the right thing. Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Washington, Utah, is now in custody, facing the music for the cold-blooded murder that shocked the nation—and it’s all thanks to his dad, Matt Robinson, a 27-year veteran of the Washington County Sheriff’s Department.



Imagine the father.
The villains are those who influenced and induced Tyler Robinson to kill.

With a father working that type of job, who radicalized the kid into thinking assassination was a good thing?  Trump needs to look into who is behind that movement.  Every person cheering for the death has been influenced to think that way.

Absolutely agree. They turned their own child in - for likely the death penalty. What more could anyone ask of them at this point???

Totally. This isn't the time for angry lashing out and getting off in the weeds with useless vengeful hysteria. Keep the focus where it needs to be - on the Leftist groups and people that push and organize this stuff.

[DB]

Patel isn't communicating very well. Makes claim they caught the shooter and then "oh, never mind". And then delays a scheduled press conference to add essentially nothing. And then appears to take credit for the family turning in their own son. That isn't a good look at all.

I'm not sure I could have done it. I might have shot him myself but turning him in is another matter entirely.

Seems that way, doesn’t it?

[Timber Rattler]

It's fine.  Just a lot of chaos and lashing out from our quarters this morning.  I'm just ticked off looking at the shooter, who could have been my own young and naive 20 year old kid, who goes to the local community college to study business but remains home with us (for this very reason...too avoid campus brainwashing).

[Polly Ticks]

I am confused. They talked about working with his roommate to pull up the Discord messages about needing to retrieve the rifle, etc.  But they also are saying he is not a student at UVU and lived at home with his parents.  Did he live at home, or did he have a roommate?  You generally don't call a family member with whom you share a room a "roommate".  Strange.

[Free Vulcan]

Going to merge this to the existing Charlie Kirk thread. Please post anything related there so it's not in 20 different places all over the forum.

27 year Sheriff veteran. Wonder what it meant when the reports said the father “secured him at home”.  Unimaginable.

Antifascist and anti-Nazi messages were engraved on the assassin’s bullets. Democrats have spent ten years labeling their political opponents as Nazis and fascists. They radicalized this kid and he wrote their political messaging on the bullets he used to kill Charlie Kirk.

Democrats incited all of this with their lies and their rhetoric. Charlie Kirk’s blood is on their hands. You can’t incite violence and then try and disavow it when it happens.

Probably locked him in his room and nailed down any windows to avoid him making a run for it again.

My first thought was that he pulled a set of hand cuffs off of his duty belt and put them on his son.

Perhaps that too.  He knew what to do.

As far as I'm concerned anyone who votes for or actively supports ANY Democrat anywhere in this land is complicit.

Yes.

It has been a brutal year.

The left is making it clearer by the day that they cannot be reasoned with. That they intend to destroy anyone not them.

[txradioguy]

Perhaps that too.  He knew what to do.

If he actually detained him by the book...that must have been extremely difficult to do.

[mystery-ak]

Exactly, but I imagine there are people on X and other outlets that will NOT leave them alone and try to destroy them.

Tyler Robinson ‘full of hate’ before Charlie Kirk shooting, says family friends — while ‘Hey fascist! Catch!’ found written on bullets

https://nypost.com/2025/09/12/us-news/tyler-robinson-full-of-hate-before-charlie-kirk-shooting-says-family-friends/

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson was “full of hate” in the days before the shooting, according to a family friend, as authorities revealed the 22-year-old had confessed to the assassination and had been turned in by a relative.

Bullets found in the chamber of the rifle reportedly used by Robinson included apparent left-wing slogans such as “Hey fascist! Catch!” and another referencing “Oh, Bella Ciao!” a popular Italian anti-fascist song.

(snip)

Robinson was turned in after his father recognized him in photos released by the FBI on Thursday, law enforcement sources told The Post.

The father called Washington County Sheriff’s Department and confronted his son when he returned home, at which point Robinson admitted he was the gunman, the sources said.

Robinson’s father asked him to turn himself in, but his son replied that he would rather kill himself.

The father then convinced his son to speak with their youth minister, who also serves as a task force officer with the US Marshals Service.

The minister called the FBI and agents later took Robinson into custody.

EXCERPT

The left is essentially saying "Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?” while claiming their hands are clean and their subjects do their dirty work.

For $100,000 I would hand over the idiot too.

Word.

[DCPatriot]

Is it just me but doesn’t it fell unseemly to take a bow so soon after a father turned in his son?

We can only imagine how "dad's" phone must have been burning up with calls about the perp looking like his son.

[Lando Lincoln]

Yes.

It has been a brutal year.

I tell you what - I am going to get on my knees and give a special prayer of thanks for my life.

[Smokin Joe]

They need to leave them alone. They've not only got to deal with the fact their kid is the shooter...but they also have to deal with the fact they had to be the ones that had to turn their boy in. They're suffering enough.

Unless some culpability can be demonstrated, unequivocally, I agree. I would not want to be the Dad who had to turn in his own son for this. To me, that's a horrorshow, even though Dad did the right thing.

[txradioguy]

The left is essentially saying "Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?” while claiming their hands are clean and their subjects do their dirty work.

That's the way it always is with them.  And they will learn nothing from the killing of Charlie Kirk.

[Lando Lincoln]

We can only imagine how "dad's" phone must have been burning up with calls about the perp looking like his son.

Yet another thing I hadn’t thought about. Pure agony for Dad and the family.

Robinson become more political in recent years. He had come to dinner and talked about Kirk, that Kirk was 'spreading hate.'

An individual who was Robinson's roommate showed them Discord messages Robinson had sent him after the shooting.

Those included a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop-point, and watching a rifle where it was left, as well as engraved bullets. The Robinson contact also said that Robinson had said he had changed outfits.

I really doubt they'll take the money.

I would take it and use it to hire the best criminal defense lawyer I could get for $100k.


Yes he did a horrible act taking a life.  Yes he should be punished.

But the way I look at it...he's still my son...I still love him and there will always be the strong need to protect him...even if it's from himself...so I will do what I need to do to ensure he has the best defense at his trial.

edit. 

[Hoodat]

My heart goes out to him.  This is worse than losing a son.  Every day for the rest of his life, he will be consumed with guilt thinking of how he failed as a father and questioning why he didn't see the warning signs.

[bigheadfred]

...and then they sent him to Utah Valley University.

Where they have DEI:

Where they still have 'gender studies':

https://www.uvu.edu/philhum/degrees/gender-studies.html

Where they used to have all manner of leftist programs until last year when they were banned by state law:

https://www.ksl.com/article/51295653/uvu-axes-center-that-had-served-multicultural-lgbtq-and-other-students


His parents may have raised him right but they FAILED their child when they sent him to a leftist indoctrination camp where he became a literal foot soldier for their destructive revolution.

He wasn't a student at UVU.

[MeganC]

DOES YOUR CHILD HATE GOD?

DOES YOUR CHILD HATE AMERICA?

DOES YOUR CHILD HATE YOU?

THANK A TEACHER.

[Lando Lincoln]

He wasn't a student at UVU.

I’ve not seen anything that says where he was a student.

[mountaineer]

The American Left hate "fascists", but they cannot tell you what a 'fascist' is.

Give credit to the mostly worthless public schools they've attended. College may radicalize some of them, but they've likely already heard the leftist dogma by age 18.
