Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin's roommate 'shocked' by shooting, has been 'very cooperative,' governor says
Republican Gov. Spencer Cox also said the suspect is not cooperating with authorities.

Both are terrible and unacceptable.
But clearly he and his gaming buddies egging him on prefer premeditated assassinations of public figures speaking at large crowded recorded events.
Which is indeed a different level of murder and terrorism in every country.
They’re so freaking desperate to blame everything on transgender people instead of the white boy. Everything we know shows the roommate turned in the shooter and is cooperating. It seems like the roommate did nothing wrong and is likely not at all responsible. It’s so obvious that people here hate transgender people and just want to blame them for everything.

It also makes zero sense to text the roommate what he texted him, unless the roommate already knew the plans.
There are gay and trans MAGA, you know that right? Like Nick Fuentes who this kid appeared to pay attention to.
No, I think the roommate being an alt right trans person is even more unlikely than them being in a relationship.
Whatever the case, the roommate likely has similar political feelings and sentiments toward Kirk as the killer did. Why else would he have texted him to go get the weapon? There has to be more to that.

And yet Tyler Robinson is a cis male raised amongst MAGA, was in an electrician apprenticeship, has been shooting guns since early childhood, and every single photo of him looks like a straight male wearing men’s clothing and a baseball hat. Every tiktok post of Lance Twiggs shows a straight sounding and appearing male as well. Now maybe he just recently transitioned or I am thinking perhaps these straight men had been planning this together, they didn’t want neighbors to identify them correctly, so they disguised themselves somewhat for a few weeks? or longer to throw people off. If any of this trans nonsense is in fact true.
Discord and social media for the radicalization win!

What's the matter guys? Did your preferred subreddits already ban anyone with a hint of right wing politics years ago and this place is all you got left?
My liberal friends are completely oblivious about how radicalizing the last week has been for tens of millions of normal Americans. Zero clue.
I’m not talking about people who are “online”; I mean regular, everyday Americans. “Normies.” People who scroll through Facebook posts and Instagram reels from the Dutch Bros drive thru line. Political moderates who have water cooler chats about Mahomes touchdowns and Bon Jovi concerts, not Twitter threads or Rachel Maddow monologues.
Millions of them. Tens of millions. They’re logging on, they’re engaging, and they’re furious.
And I’ll be candid: They blame you guys. They blame the left.
Regardless of whether you believe it to be justified, they think you’re the bad guys here. And they are reacting accordingly.
I can already hear some of you racing toward the comments to start screeching in moral indignation, so I’m going to be blunt: Shut up and listen to what I’m telling you. Your movement will lose any semblance of relevance if you don’t develop some small measure of self-awareness, and—absent someone force-feeding you bitter medicine—you guys collectively lack the humility to do this on your own.
Here are the facts:
Fact 1. Tens of millions of Americans started the week seeing a 23-year-old blonde woman—a young woman in whom virtually every parent watching pictured their own daughter—stabbed in the neck by a career criminal. These people then found out the murderer had been released from jail 14 times over.
Fact 2. Two days later, tens of millions of Americans watched a video of Charlie Kirk get murdered speaking to college students. Millions of these people knew who Charlie was; millions of them didn’t. Upon seeing the video, however, these normal Americans from across the land and across the political spectrum agreed that he was the victim of a terrible, fundamentally unjustifiable crime, and their hearts broke in sympathy for his family. Good people who had never even heard the name Charlie Kirk before wept.
Fact 3. Immediately after seeing the footage of a peaceful young man get shot in the neck, these same people logged onto Facebook and Instagram (remember, we are talking about regular Americans, not perpetually online Twitter or Bluesky users) and saw some of their local nurses, school teachers, college administrators, and retail workers celebrating this horrific crime. Not just defending it, but cheering it.
These are all facts. You may not like the implications of these facts, and we can certainly debate the underlying causes thereof, but, indisputably, they are nevertheless factual statements.
Here’s what it means for you, the Democrats reading this:
These normal, middle-of-the-road, non-political citizens just become politically active. They realized that politics cares about them, even if they don’t particularly care about politics. After watching Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk both bleed out from the neck, they think their lives and the physical safety of their families—the bedrock of human society, the foundation of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs—depend on political activation, whether they desire it or not.
These people are now sprinting—not jogging, not walking, but racing—to the right. Because they blame you guys for everything that just happened.
When they see footage of Decarlos Brown stabbing a Ukrainian refugee to death, they don’t see just one demon-possessed man. They picture every university administrator, HR bureaucrat, and DEI apparatchik that ever lectured them about systemic racism, the “carceral state,” or the need to release violent crime suspects without bail in the name of social justice.
They then think back to conversations they’ve had with their cop friends—their buddy from high school who quit the force after getting tired of being called a racist, their friend at the local YMCA who vents about having to release career criminals because Soros-funded prosecutors aren’t willing to file charges—and they realize everything the left has told them over the last five years has been utter bullshit.
And they blame you. Because, even if you count yourself as a moderate Democrat, your party supported the district attorneys, city council members, and mayors that let fictitious concerns about mental health and racial justice supersede very real concerns for their family’s safety.
When these Americans see blood erupt from the side of Charlie Kirk’s neck, they don’t see just a martyred political activist. They think of every extreme leftist they’ve ever met who (1) calls anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton a fascist and (2) constantly jokes—“jokes”—about punching Nazis and “bashing the fash.”
They realize that there really do exist people who wish to see them dead for their moderately conservative political beliefs, their Christian faith, and even the color of their skin. They ask themselves if the violence visited upon Charlie might one day show up on their own doorstep.
And they blame you. Because, even if you’re just a center-of-the-road liberal, you lacked the courage to police your own ranks. You let modern-day Maoist red guards run loose across every facet of society, and what started with social-media struggle sessions has now turned to 30-06 bullet holes.
When these Americans log onto social media and see their neighbors justifying, celebrating, glorifying murder, they realize that some who walk among them are soulless ghouls at best, literally demon-possessed at worst. These people—whether they faithfully attend church every Sunday or only attend with relatives once a year, on Christmas Eve—start talking about things like spiritual warfare. They implicitly understand that no normal human casually celebrates the mortal demise of a peaceful person.
And they blame you. Because, even if you condemned Charlie Kirk’s murder, they probably haven’t seen you condemn those in your own movement who cheered it on. They view you as complicit in allowing heartless fellow travelers to celebrate death, and it repulses them.
For all of these situations, what has your response been? Nothing but bullshit.
In response to Iryna Zarutska bleeding out on the floor of a train, you post bullshit statistics about reductions in reported crime, when everyone who’s ever been to a major urban center in the last decade knows that actual crime has skyrocketed, only for victims not to waste their time reporting it to cops that don’t have the manpower to respond and prosecutors that seek to downgrade as many felonies as possible to misdemeanor citations.
In response to a 31-year-old man taking a bullet to the neck in front of his family, you post nothing but bullshit whataboutism.
> “What about January 6th?” (Honest answer: After you let Liz Cheney spend two years operating a star chamber in the House, combined with countless other failed attempts at “lawfare” against Trump, no one cares anymore.)
> “What about Mike Lee making a dumb joke on Twitter about some guy in a mask in Minnesota?” (No one outside of Utah, DC, or Twitter knows who Mike Lee even is.)
> “What about Paul Pelosi?” (That’s not comparable to Charlie Kirk getting shot, and we all know it. And, again, Paul who?)
> “What about regulations on assault rifles?” (That’s not going to get you very far when one of these killers used a knife and the other one used a common hunting rifle.)
In response to teachers, healthcare workers, and thousands of other liberals cheering on Charlie’s murder, it’s nothing but more bullshit and misdirection.
> “It’s not THAT many people celebrating!” (Yes, it is. Everyone has seen it on their Facebook and Instagram feeds.)
> “I thought you guys didn’t support cancel culture.” (We don’t cancel people over their opinions; we’re more than happy to see people lose their jobs—especially their taxpayer-funded jobs—for actively cheering on murder, though. If you can’t see the difference, that’s your own shortcoming.)
All bullshit. Not even smart bullshit, but stale, mid-grade, low-IQ bullshit. Ordinary Americans see right through it, and they don’t like how it smells.
You probably don’t like hearing this. But you need to hear it.
Because I’m right, and, as you reflect on this, you know I’m right. The ranks of my political movement gained millions of righteously angry new members this week. We have a mandate to ensure these crimes never happen again, and that’s exactly what we are now going to do.
If you want to keep a seat at the table as we do so, you’d better clean house and start policing your own.
Whatever. Kirk was killed by Kirk's ideology. Go cry somewhere
No.
Kirk was assassinated by a radicalized, failure to launch, chronically online gamer who plotted out the murder and did it.
They are funhouse mirror images of each other.

Tyler didn’t speak out publically on many matter. Charlie did.
Charlie didn’t get a gun and go shoot down a public figure. Tyler did.
Tyler dropped of college, played video games for gurus a day, and became a murderer. Charlie dropped out of college, got married, had kids, and ran large scale public civil discourse speaking events.
We know.
No one here or anywhere thinks Tyler the dropout assassin have much in common with a married father political speaker.

Yes we know, this is a violence and radicalization issue.
Kirk talks even on Christianity don’t attack trans, he was supportive of all of them and forthright on his values as a Christian, conservative, patriot, constitutionalist.
except MAGA is already taking it out on the LGBTQ+ community and made that clear from the first moments after Kirk's death was announced
Where is this happening?
Where is the “taking it out” happening and how??
I see more LGBTQIA upset about the shooting and death. Kirk has many trans and gay friend and supporters, as he was not threatened by them or their personal choices. He still knew what theology and the Bible said, but he didn’t force it anywhere.
