In a phone interview on Friday, someone who said they were friends with Robinson in high school, who wanted to remain anonymous, said that the suspect was “pretty left on everything” and was “the only member of his family that was really leftist”.
“The rest of his family was very hard Republican,” the friend said.
Around sophomore year, the friend said, Robinson became more extreme in his political views and would “always just be ranting and arguing about them”.
The friend said that they played video games together a lot in high school and noted that the bullet engraving with the arrows was a reference to Helldivers 2 – which we mentioned earlier. He said that the arrows specifically were in reference to “calling in a big bomb that exists” in the game “called the 500 kilogram”.
When the friend saw the news on Friday, he said that he was shocked. “I knew he [Robinson] had strong political views, but I never thought it would even go near that far.”
The friend said that he has not spoken to Robinson in years and began to drift apart toward the end of high school. Another high school classmate separately told the Guardian that the friend and Robinson were close in school and would play video games.

He decided to do what he did.
He owns it.
All you have to do to figure out where he was politically, is look at the person he murdered.
Helldivers is a 2015 top-down shooter video game developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Computer Entertainment
Helldiver’s is set in a dystopian universe where humanity is ruled by a “managed democracy”, an alteration of a contemporary democracy where the outcome of elections are more predictable. The pseudo-democracy also acts a creed by which the inhabitants of Super Earth fight for without question, but without fully understanding it.
Super Earth, the fictional futuristic Earth is threatened by three hostile enemy races (the Bugs, the Cyborgs and the Illuminates) that the government orders to be subdued. As well as countering primarily through combat, the Helldivers are also tasked with retrieving technology or carrying out certain tasks deemed important by the government in an effort to preserve their freedom and way of life.
In May 2023, Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment announced a sequel titled Helldivers 2. Unlike the first game, the sequel is no longer a top-down shooter, but instead is a third-person shooter. The game was released for PlayStation 5 and Windows on 8 February 2024, [28] with a release on Xbox Series X|S on 26 August 2025. [29]
IGN played the demo version of Helldivers at the 2013 Gamescom, and reviewed the demo positively.[24] Game Informer also gave the demo a positive rating, commenting that it “isn’t easy, but this throwback to classic top down shooters is still a good time.”[25]
GameSpot’s reviewer Cameron Woolsey noted that the PlayStation 4 version has “fantastic cooperative action” but “missions and story are lacking.”[13] IGN said of the same PS4 version, “Brutal, focused, and mechanically rich, Helldivers is one of the best co-op action experiences you can have.”[16]

The Left today:
“Turns out the guy who blew Charlie Kirk’s neck off with a hunting rifle in front of his family at a crowded rally is a big Charlie Kirk fan! Suck on this, MAGA!”
Also, the Left today:
“He can’t be a liberal. He comes from a normal family and doesn’t look like a dysgenic freak!”
Not the “own” they seem to think it is.
It is really that simple.
I’ll bet a dollar to a doughnut that Tyler is still a virgin.
they are claiming he’s a maga just because of pictures of him in trump shirt or that he dress up as trump for Halloween, disgusting isnt it??
It's kinda funny. They're over on X trying to argue that Robinson murdered Charlie Kirk because Kirk was too moderate on issues.
Keep in mind, these are the same people who were cheering when Kirk was killed.
They claim two conservative republicans tried to assassinate Trump.
Scumbags through and through.
The left is not happy with just murder.
They then move on to slandering the innocent.
I see the situation. 22 Idiot childman who does nothing but play videogames at home, goes to university and gets radicalized to the point where he cannot tell reality from fiction. He lived online and on the computer waaaaaay too much , 4 years ago during Covid lockdowns instead of graduating highschool he was at home playing in an online world.
With women, yes. With men—probably not.
“Helldivers” is “Starship Troopers: The Video Game” in all but name, so it seems odd to me that this guy was a big fan of that super-nationalistic themed world (”Service Equals Citizenship”) yet went entirely the other way in real life.
The folks might have done him a favor steering him to the military rather than college where they top off the indoctrination he received in high school. But he had excellent grades and a scholarship, so...
Oh without a doubt. Obviously he adopted the “antifascist” rhetoric of the left, but underneath that veneer, this dude likely follows the pattern of previous “incel” shooters... angry, sexually-frustrated loser compensating with his gun.
Was he on anti-depressents?
Leftist and most likely gay.
That leftist murderer also killed his own future with an upcoming miserable incarceration and probably the death penalty. He chose it and deserves the misery and guilt attached to it. Leftist murderous Loser will be his legacy, a once fortunate son from the beautiful state of Utah.
