CHARLIE KIRK SUSPECT'S SICK JOKES, OBSESSED WITH 'FURRIES,' OTHERS IN ON MURDER PLOT?

CHARLIE KIRK SUSPECT'S SICK JOKES, OBSESSED WITH 'FURRIES,' OTHERS IN ON MURDER PLOT?

Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, died Wednesday after he was brutally assassinated in front of his wife and two small kids during an event at Utah Valley University.

He was speaking to a large crowd at an outdoor "Prove Me Wrong" debate, where he invites students to challenge his political and cultural views.

Authorities shared a video late Thursday of the suspect climbing down from a roof following the shooting, after sharing images throughout the day of a "person of interest" and asking the public for help in identifying the individual.

Like many others, Thursday afternoon, Matt Robinson saw the FBI-released photos of
Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter, and he was shocked to recognize his son, Tyler, as the
suspect at large. When Robinson arrives home, he is confronted by his father and Tyler Robinson.
admits he pulled the trigger.

The father encourages Robinson to turn himself in, but the 22-
year-old says he would rather kill himself. Matt reaches out to his son’s youth pastor, who also
happens to be a U.S. Marshals fugitive task force officer. The officer convinces Robinson to
turn himself in.

Neighbors describe Lance Twiggs as Robinson’s roommate. Twiggs, a student at Utah Tech University, showed police incriminating Discord chat messages from Robinson, basically snitching on Robinson and cooperating with authorities. Neighbors say the roommates were reclusive and always blasting music.

Robinson’s 20-person Discord group made up of gamer Pine Hill grads jokingly calls him out.
One member sends the FBI photo and asks Robinson, “Where are you at?” Robinson shoots back,
“It’s my doppelgänger trying to get me in trouble!” Another friend proclaims, “Tyler killed
Charlie!!!” A third suggests turning Robinson in for the reward, and Robinson sneers, “Only if I
get a cut.” One pal quips, “Whatever you do, don’t go to a McDonald’s anytime soon.”
Robinson agrees, joking that he “better get rid of this manifesto and exact copy rifle I have.
lying around,” before insisting the shooter is “clearly” from California. Evidenced by his Twitch channel, Twiggs is also an avid online gamer.

Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, spoke out late Friday, vowing Turning Point USA will keep hosting campus events. President Trump paid tribute to Kirk, and elected officials on both sides of the aisle quickly condemned the shooting and denounced acts of political violence. Institutions from airlines to schools to even the military moved quickly to fire or discipline employees accused of celebrating or mocking Charlie's death on social media.

An interviewer once asked Charlie if everything completely goes away, how did he want to be remembered?Kirk: "I want to be-- I want to be remembered for-- for courage, for my faith. That-- that would be the most important thing. The most important thing is my faith in my life."
