Looks like the suspect's dad is a police officer, saw the photos and turned him in.

Confirmed the suspect's name is Tyler Robinson.

Thank goodness his father is not corrupt and did the right thing!!

Apparently South Park took the pee out of him recently, and the usual nutters are trying to blame the show for his assassination.

Re: Charlie Kirk (US conservative campaigner) shot dead
 

Yep looks like his dad and uncle spotted him and forced him to turn himself in.

The thing is America will not learn anything from this, there will be "talks" but nothing will happen, apart from the contrast in the public response.

There have been no riots, no buildings being burned down etc compared to the likes of what happened after George Floyd.

Now you have the mainstream media trying to label the shooter as a "Good kid" "boy scout" "what you would want your son to be like" and trying to say he must have "Mental health issues", then you hear about some of the inscriptions on the gun etc and well it's the typical far left lunatic language and a good example of why kids should not be allowed guns or access to their parents guns!

Then you see the left wing lunatics celebrating online, you have the BBC hosting someone who was practically laughing, Oxford Union's incoming president celebrating, and now there are rumours that some MP's were apparently heard laughing and celebrating the news of him being shot.

This whole world is a mess!!

Re: Charlie Kirk (US conservative campaigner) shot dead
 

I've only heard of so called left wing people sympathise with his family, I've not even seen to many people using his own words against him for what's happened but we all need to grown up and move away from the footballification that's happened with politics, just because someone votes differently to you it doesn't mean you have to hate them or even think less of them, the ones people imo should shun are the extreme elements who seem to be getting all of the attention and only to the benefit of their particular agenda.


Oh and the whole writing on the bullet stuff sounds like complete bullshit to me btw

Re: Charlie Kirk (US conservative campaigner) shot dead
 

Why throw it all away. So young too :no:

Re: Charlie Kirk (US conservative campaigner) shot dead
 

Yeah, doubtful, there seems to be some evidence around it.

The left then……you know the nice ones…….

Re: Charlie Kirk (US conservative campaigner) shot dead
 

And the ones on the right, I don't know why you keep pretending political violence is one-sided when there have been ample attacks by right-wing extremists as well. On the same day Kirk was murdered, one of them shot children at a school: https://www.denverpost.com/2025/09/1...orado-updates/

There was the attack by the Nazi that killed 8 people in Texas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_A..._mall_shooting

The 'great replacement theory' nutjob that killed 10 black people the year before; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Buffalo_shooting

In this country, it's thankfully rarer to have any of these kinds of attacks - left or right - but we still had the murder of Jo Cox and the guy who drove a van into a Mosque in Finsbury Park.

There is a long history of far-right attacks.

As TheDaddy says, these people need to be shunned. It's not left v right but extremists vs us all.

Engraving bullets is not easy at all, and there isnt a lot of room to play with.

Its unlikely it was done by hand (if at all) - there are laser engravers, but not exactly commonly available.

Re: Charlie Kirk (US conservative campaigner) shot dead
 

Yes, that's been quietly retracted by the Wall Street Journal.

7th July 2005? Failed attempt 21st July 2005. Another planned attack was thwarted before then with a link to one of the 7/7 bombers,
Ross Parker 2001.
Serioza Lawskoski 2012
Those "nice" BLM protestors.
A key difference is whether the type of reaction to any killings. With Charlie Kirk, there is a widespread reaction from the left of saying along the lines of "he deserved it". Plenty of examples.

How many of the attacks you listed had that widespread type of reaction?

Re: Charlie Kirk (US conservative campaigner) shot dead
 

If I have some time I will, respond in depth

The difference is…..the left paint themselves as the nice people, on the right side of history, be nice, be kind, etc etc etc.

When it comes down to it, they are the most violent (antifa) and most authoritarian. They won’t engage in debate, hate anyone that disagrees with them, and ultimately kills those that challenges them.

The left are far more dangerous in my opinion.

Case in point, Kirk was willing to debate and talk, killed by a leftist, solely for that reason.

There’s nothing in that article that suggests the etching on the bullets is incorrect.

Post the specific parts that back up your assertion.
