The federal investigation into the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has yet to find a link between the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, and left-wing groups on which President Donald Trump and his administration have pledged to crack down after the killing, three sources familiar with the probe told NBC News.
One person familiar with the federal investigation said that “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups.”
“Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive,” this person continued.
In addition, two of the people familiar with the probe said it may be difficult to charge Robinson at the federal level for Kirk’s killing, while the third source said there is still an expectation that some kind of federal charge is filed against Robinson.
Factors that have complicated the effort to bring charges at the federal level include that Robinson, a Utah resident, did not travel from out of state; Kirk was shot during an open campus debate at Utah Valley University. Additionally, Kirk himself is not a federal officer or elected official.
A Justice Department spokesperson said, “The investigation is ongoing and beyond that we decline to comment.”
Damn I wonder why this can’t be tied to the left? 🤔 Makes you think
I think the only reason there hasn’t yet been a full-blown pogrom against the LGBTQ community is that the shooter they apprehended was a far-right groyper and not the far-left antifa terrorist they assumed would target someone like Kirk.
But with the sheer number of people on the left openly celebrating Kirk’s death, I don’t think they’ll really need evidence to start going after the left.
I heard that he might be one at first, but newest news say exactly what the article said: no groyper, no leftist.
Which makes sense because it both sounded weird to me that a leftist would write “whoever reads this is gay lol” or that a right-winger would write “Bella chiao” or “take that, fascist”.
This is a great example of how BOTH sides live in bot-fed echo chambers - just as much misinformation was flowing in the progressive online communities (including here) and it didn’t help our credibility.
We really need to get in the habit of sourcing things before we breathlessly repeat them on social media. It’s not hard to verify something.
Don’t worry I’m sure they’ll find some eventually if they just keep looking. The libs are very good at hiding themselves. Sometimes they vote for republicans, that’s a sure sign their liberal, voting for republicans.
“Yet”
The investigation will continue until we have completed the manufacturing process.
“Yet” appears to be editorialized. The actual quote doesn’t use that word
Or until they beat the confession into the suspect, whichever happens first.
While the real suspect lives a new life. 👀
If you believe that sort of thing that is
Doesn’t matter the right made up their minds about this the second he was shot.
Since when have the american right ever cared about facts? These guys are all feefees, no brain. Its why every time somebody capitulates to their demands they create a new dumber demand.
It honestly doesn’t matter. Did or didn’t, left right, or corkscrew. If we knew definitively now factually 100% he can conclusively be put into 1 bucket. The facts don’t matter to them. The truth is already in.
To be on their side, you “know” the “truth”.
And if you don’t “know” the “truth”, than by gee you seem awfully suspicious mr…
And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed – if all records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became truth.

But somehow trans people are the terrorists. The Heritage Foundation even cited Tyler Robinson as evidence of “trans shooters”
I know that the apparently had a trans woman mate but was he personally himself trans, I hadn’t heard that. Was it just more made up nonsense.
it’s the trans lady’s fault, somehow.
And there won’t be.
This was predicted during the first Trump administration. A MAGAt is primed for violence for ten years & then figures out he’s been lied to and propagandized the entire time. They then use that violence on the very scum that lied to them.
Sometimes the Stochastic terrorism boomerangs.
Exactly. Just like the attempted assassinations of trump
They don’t need any links or ties to justify their hate. They just need feelings of being oppressed, wronged, robbed, and disrespected. There is no excuse needed to blame and attack people who aren’t like them. It’s in their DNA, they’ve done this since before this country was a country.
This is the level-headed comment so far. Its true too about hate, that’s how he pulled the trigger, an intense hatred. He didn’t just disagree with Kirk on most stuff, no, he must have rejected and despised every word he said. Honestly, I’ve seen some of that hatred too, its real and scary to see people talking about really desiring to hurt other strangers. Coming from either side.
If the Discord groups he hung out in were leftist or in any way “antifa” they would have been screaming about it this whole time. He hung out in far right meme circles. It looks like they’ve decided on the lone, crazy gunman approach so they can avoid accountability yet again.
but hey! he had a trans roommate or something!
Maybe. That might have also been fully fabricated. Hard to tell anymore.
Will be very funny if all this bullshit FBI efforts to blame someone other than him somehow gets his case thrown out.
Yeah we’ve left the era in which we can trust narratives that are being built, and that’s really fucking bad for everyone. This is especially present whenever claims of trans people come up. History may find out what happened but we won’t know aoon
right meme circles.
What/where are those?
A) Unless the FBI are totally incompetent they know which Discord groups he was active in. B) They haven’t said anything about them so they don’t support the official narrative they’re trying to create (ie: leftist trans people are responsible). C) The bullet casing memes they released (if they’re real) are used in right wing meme circles (they didn’t understand them which is why they made them public).
I don’t know the names of his Discord groups however. If the FBI ever releases that info then I’ll let you know.
leftist trans people are responsible
How are they creating narrative? And they arent saying leftist transvestites are responsible. But that is what his girlfriend is a left transvestites. They were in a relationship, of course she will have some sort of influence on him. And all those texts back and forth by them
I’ll answer, but only if you’re asking for a friend.
Yeah, from the stuff posted, it sounds like he used it just like most people do. To have conversations with friends about life and games. But that won’t stop them from continuing to talk about them like they were. It’s all lies all the time.
Yeah, no kidding there is no connection because there is virtually nothing organized on the left. And what prominent left wing groups use the kind of stochastic terrorism that the conservatives use?
I mean, on the conservative side, it starts from the very top, with Taco, and continues on down to the very bottom to your average red-hatter. All of them constantly make threats involve violence, all the time.
Taco talked about “second amendment people”.
Project 2025 architect says there will be a bloodless revolution, if liberals allow it.
Kirk gets shot and the conservatives all, without knowing anything about the shooter, decared war on the majority of the country…
The last time anything resembling the left in this country committed terrorism on a large scale was by anarchists in the late 19th and early 20th century. They did via bombing. https://guides.loc.gov/chronicling-america-anarchist-incidents
Weather Underground was in the 1960s-70s but was bombing as well.
I forgot about them
Utah is on the left side of the Country, he must be left!
They’ll fabricate something.
forensically
I don’t know why anyone cares about this kid. He’s the alleged shooter. The feds still haven’t provided anything credible to prove he was the guy, no video of the kid on the roof with the rifle, no bullet, no medical report, weird people in the crowd causing a distraction, tampering of the crime scene, clearly fake text exchange…there are so many more important questions that need answers.
And yet, even with this dude they don’t have a shred of evidence of left-wing involvement.
He had a left hand. Checkmate!
Because the current admin needs someone to pin this on to appear competent and strong because that’s the foundation of their entire worldview. And they need him to fit an ideological profile so they have something to point to as justification as they continue to escalate their response to political dissent.
Case in point: Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air for deviating from the accepted party line because the FCC threatened ABC/Disney with retaliation.
Reality doesn’t matter.
