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.

a young guy doesn’t write “bella ciao” on his ammo out of nowhere; he didn’t just allegedly put a rose in his twitter

this dude was in social scenes, he was in groups, and every single one of them needs to be ripped apart by the full force of the federal government— David Hines (@hradzka) September 12, 2025

The video of him walking down a residential street with a rifle stuffed in his pant leg was pure amateur. Then he walked the same path back after dumping the rifle where it was sure to be found quickly. He also wore the same clothes, shoes, hat and backpack he wore on a regular basis that could easily help identify him. He is obviously no pro, and the planning was terrible. I wouldn’t say no one else knew, or even helped, but this was no well organized and financed plot.

What We Know About Tyler Robinson

Tyler Robinson, 22, from Washington County, Utah, has been arrested as the suspected gunman in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

•Background: Robinson briefly attended Utah State University in 2021 and later enrolled at Dixie Technical College. Friends and family say he had become increasingly political in recent years, voicing sharp hostility toward Kirk and his views.

•The Attack: On Sept. 10th, Robinson allegedly fired from a rooftop about 200 yards away while Kirk was speaking at a public event. Investigators recovered a bolt-action rifle and bullet casings engraved with anti-fascist slogans and references to the far-left anthem “Bella Ciao.”

•Online Footprint: Discord messages linked to Robinson reveal discussions about retrieving a rifle from a “drop point” and preparing it for use. Posts and chats show Antifa-aligned imagery and rhetoric, suggesting a pattern of radicalization.

•Arrest: After the FBI released surveillance footage, Robinson’s father identified him to authorities. He was taken into custody soon afterward in Washington County.

•Legal Status: Robinson faces aggravated murder, weapons charges, and obstruction of justice. Prosecutors are treating the case as a politically motivated assassination.

This case underscores urgent concerns about online radicalization, Antifa-inspired extremism, and the rise of political violence in America.pic.twitter.com/5fTfDpeE4x— Clown World ™ 🤡 (@ClownWorld_) September 12, 2025

Not the brightest guy in the world if he was counting on his roommate to go pick up a rifle in the woods not far from where a man was assassinated. Was he hoping his roommate was that stupid and would get caught with it instead and maybe be a patsy? Or did he seriously think the cops would never catch a friend toting a rifle with whacko crap on it? What did the roommate know beforehand, if anything?

If he didn’t want it to be found by authorities, why engrave all that Antifa crap on it and the ammo?

Was this guy on any drugs?

Also a symbol adopted by the U.S. You can see fasces in the House of Representatives and somewhat ironically on the back of the ‘Mercury’ dime issued while we fought Fascist Italy.

When I look at his face, I see what was once a little boy. An innocent little boy. This little boy was apparently fully corrupted by the Leftist Radicals in this country who exist for one purpose; to destroy all that is good and holy in this beautiful country. I agree with Miranda Devine; I’m also so sick of hearing the term “political violence”. NO ... What has happened to our people, especially to many of our youth, is they have been transformed by the hate of the left. The violence of the left. It’s not the Right, it’s always the Radical Left. Let’s start calling it what it is: “Leftist Violence”.

This young man will pay the price for the killing of Charlie Kirk, as he should, but let us remember and hold as accountable, the despicable rhetoric on the radical left by many in our government, past and present, who have and continue to use and suggest words of hate against good people on the right for their own political advantage. THEY are truly the instigators and accomplices to these horrific crimes, and they know exactly what they are doing. It has to stop.

“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me, to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”Matthew 18:6

Praying we bring God back into our schools at every level. Praying for the United States of America.

Democrats are blatantly lying and saying the Charlie Kirk suspected gunman is a Republican.

Tyler Robinson is registered nonpartisan and had leftist ideology engraved on his shell casings.

Let’s don’t throw out Kirk’s work and the constitution 48 hours after his death.

Who is saying that? I'm saying, charge the kid, try him and upon conviction, drag his worthless body down Pennsylvania avenue and put him on a pike on the White House lawn as a warning. Give him his due process. Give him the chance to get right with God. But like Charlie, this guy's time on earth is done, and it is important to mete out justice swiftly and to the contentment of the rest of America.
