My initial instinct was that some leftist did it, either a smart amateur, or some type of professional with an ideology, or merely an assassin hired by a leftist The left benefits the most from Kirk's death, and he was very pro-Israel, BUT there is a deeper story that I did not know about: The other possibility being entertained is that the Israeli state killed Kirk, because he recently platformed Tucker Carlson at the important/influential TPUSA, the MAGA youth movement, and this is seen as a betrayal punishable by death? Times of Israel, August 2025 before the assassination, "so disappointed" in Charlie Kirk: The Blogs: Dear Charlie Kirk, the Noise Got to You, Too Jerusalem Post, July 2025 defending Charlie Kirk Why Charlie Kirk remains a key advocate for Israel amid criticism | The Jerusalem Post Explaining the situation, August 2025 before the assassination: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/charlie-kirks-limited-hangout/ I do not see the Israeli state or Israel's war effort benefiting from Kirk's death, and Republicans still overwhelmingly support Israel (unlike the disunified unreliable Dems), and perceptions of Israel are gradually worsening anyway with or without Kirk platforming Carlson, but could it be that when tribal hate and perception of betrayal takes over, that's it, all rationality goes out the window? Maybe this is "the message" to keep the "woke right" like Carlson out of MAGA?

I have not been able to confirm this, but my wife sent me this: BREAKING: 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson has been taken into custody for the ass*ssination of Charlie Kirk He was reportedly turned in by his father “The k*ller then confessed to his father, who is a a 27-year veteran of the Washington County Sheriff's Department,” the Daily Mail reported “His father then contacted authorities and secured his son before he could be taken into custody.” I could not imagine what that father and mother, if she's in the picture, are going through if this is true.
I have seen this in credible media reports. I'm glad his father did the right thing for both his son and the country.
I'd like too see every lil twit that was involved rounded up and tried for murder!!! If they helped they need to go down as well with equal credit!
So it was another leftie after all! That's him. The next Mangione. A local, does not seem to be a patsy. Any accomplices?
It should have been WANTED DEAD or ALIVE preferable dead now the bleeding heart liberals will circle the wagons and waste taxpayer money. Firing squad --bullets in the arms legs slow death
He coordinated with a social media contact on Discord to have the rifle retreived. There is also speculation about how he obtained the rifle. but Utah allows face to face sales so he likely made the purchase that way.
I still have a nagging suspicion the Mauser rifle and cartridges with antifa and trans slogans may be a plant and the professional operation by Mossad or some other agency may still be a possibility. The rifle seemed to have been found too easily and Robinson appearing in the stairway surveillance camera footage also seems too convenient. I assume the cops have retrieved the bullet that killed Kirk and are analyzing it to determine the caliber if it isn't too deformed and if it came from this weapon. Better still present photos, but I doubt they will anytime soon. But yes, people like this Robinson guy are still innocent until proven guilty and there has to be a trial and conviction and somebody doesn't do a Jack Ruby on him. At any rate, I hope we get some truthful answers, and this doesn't become like JFK for years to come.
This is a distinct possibility, and this idiot did not act alone. His actions assured he’d be caught. How in hell did he stuff a K98 down his pants, run unimpeded across a roof top, then jump off a 20 ft roof without either end of the rifle busting up some ribs or dislocating a hip? I’m taller and heavier than he and could not CC a full sized rifle without serious printing or end up walking like Chester Goode from Gunsmoke. There is some serious stupid going on here. Jim
