Tyler RobinsonA 22-year-old student from a rich family in Utah, turned out to be a killer Charlie Kirka. A house for $ 600 thousand, a police father, a mother-serving mother, a grant $ 32 thousand for study. And at the same time – frankly “leftist” slogans on weapons.
A family with an impeccable reputation, a house of six bedrooms worth $ 600 thousand, father is a policeman, the mother works in the social service. In such an environment, a 22-year-old grew and lived Tyler Robinsonkiller of a conservative activist Charlie Kirka.
Robinson himself looked like an ordinary person: a student at Utah University, a grant holder $ 32 thousand. It was brought up in conservative values, parents are registered as Republicans. In social networks – smiles on holidays, photos with brothers, congratulations on admission. And suddenly – a deadly shot at Kirk.
How everything happened
Robinson came to the UVU campus on the gray Dodge Challenger. Then he took out a weapon and opened fire on Kirk. Before that he admitted to his father, a policeman Matt Robinson. He contacted the authorities and actually surrendered his son, pre -“ensuring his safety” before the police arrived. That same evening, the 22-year-old was arrested.
Family with “double bottom”
His mother, Amber RobinsonHe works in a company providing assistance to people with disabilities. Both parents are Republicans, no suspicions of the radicalism of their son. But in recent years, as relatives note, Tyler “has become more politicized.” In family dinners, he openly said that he hates Kirka, and especially after the news about his visit to the university.
The family of the family stores a photo of 2017, where the boy on Halloween is dressed in Donald Trump’s costume. And also – shots from childhood, where he poses with weapons, including Browning M2 .50.
Traces of ideology
The most alarming is the inscriptions on the sleeves from the bullets. According to the Governor of Yuta Spencer CoxAmong them: “Hello fascists, Catch me!” (Hey, fascist, catch), slogans with antifa-symbolica, links to a song Bella Ciaoas well as the mocking phrase “If you read it, then you are gay, ha ha ha.”
Consequences
There is no official motive yet. But it is obvious that political radicalization played a key role. If Robinson’s fault is proved, it is waiting death penalty. “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen – we caught him”– So announced About the arrest Governor Cox.
Tyler Robinson is a lively example of how the “left pseudo -revolutionary” with wealthy parents and comfortable childhood can turn into a person who opens fire for the sake of slogans. And this is no longer a special case, but a new reality of America.
From the author: I happened to meet such guys in Athens. Young people, mainly students who call themselves anarchists, fighters with unjust power, are most often imminent from wealthy Greek families living in the fashionable regions of the capital (Cyphicia, Dionysos, Psyche).
In their heads, the absolute porridge of the slogans and agitation they heard, while they are firmly confident that their struggle is the most correct and fair.
