KIRK SHOOTING SUSPECT'S FRIENDS & 'FURRIES' EYED

The Utah County Sheriff's Office reports that Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the Charlie Kirk shooting, has been placed in the county jail’s special housing unit for now.

The county jail’s special housing unit for the time being. Robinson reportedly first told his father he would “rather kill himself” than go to jail, before agreeing to turn himself in to cops. The unit has ‘around the clock’ physical supervision, and Robinson will not be transferred elsewhere until he receives medical and mental health clearance.

Tyler Robinson’s father isn’t the only one who recognized him in the FBI’s surveillance photos.

Almost immediately, Robinson’s closest friends called him out in their 20-person Discord group chat, one sharing the photo and asking Robinson where he is.

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."

An anonymous family member of Robinson believes Lance Twiggs, his roommate or lover, is the influence radicalizing Robinson. The woman says Twiggs has very low contact with their family and hates their political and religious beliefs.

She puts blame on the immersion in online gaming culture for some of the personality changes seen in the roommates since moving in together, but her gut tells her Twigg provided the fuel behind Robinson’s sudden extremism.

Dozens of citizens posting celebrations on social media have faced real-world consequences for hateful online responses to Charlie Kirk’s murder. A doctor resigns after loudly proclaiming Kirk got what he deserved. When a nurse reported the hateful message, she faced retaliation; however, the doctor no longer works there, and the nurse is back on the schedule.

DC cancelled a highly praised artist’s comic book series after just one issue because she posted of Kirk’s death, “I hope the bullet’s okay.”

As quickly as they ran to social media to celebrate Kirk’s death, many returned crying, sharing they were fired, some angry, but mostly in shock because they needed that job and loved that job.

Many replies to the many remorseless rants said, "You enjoyed your job, Charlie Kirk enjoyed his life, you needed your job, and Charlie Kirk's kids and wife needed him."
