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.

From what his gamer friend was saying, he began radicalizing in the sophomore year of high school.
The DSA shirt is a good place to start, too.
Now the Left will say that being in a family of Republicans will turn a person into a crazy murderer.
It must have been hard for a decent family to have a brain dead killer in the family. Prayers for the family...
I just read something totally crazy, that Tyler Robinson is far, FAR right. So far right that he’s Left. The Left is trying too hard to paint Robinson as alt-right. No, he’s one of theirs.
My bottom line is that the LEFT is cheering Charlie’s assassination, and RIGHT is in mourning.
