Author’s note: This report wasn’t written to promote the idea that Tyler Robinson isn’t responsible for the crime he’s accused of committing. The expressed content are my opinions and should be viewed as such. 

On September 10, 2025 at 12:21pm Trump loyalist and right-wing antagonist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed by a sniper’s bullet to the neck, as he answered a question on gun violence during an event at Utah Valley University. A 22 year old named Tyler Robinson is said to have admitted to relatives that he was the shooter, after photos of the suspect aired on TV. From there arrangements were made to turn him in. 

It is still very early in the investigation, though according to the official story: Robinson limped through a neighborhood with a rifle in his pant leg, arrived on campus at 11:52am and eventually made his way up a stairwell and to the roof of a building. From there he fired the rifle, jumped off the roof and headed to a wooded area where he tossed the rifle and walked back to where he came from. 

In many high profile assassinations on U.S. soil there’s always a series of events that put the wheels of a conspiracy into motion and the government’s response under the microscope — like the ‘magic bullet’ mystery in JFK’s death, or improbable coincidences that only seem to replicate themselves in political acts of terror; like the type of luck it would take to hijack four commercial airliners with box cutters, steer the passengers to their deaths, and the only thing able to survive the flames and magma is a hijacker’s passport. 

The historic killings of MLK, JFK, and RFK are examples of how evidence points to a second gunman, but the government conveniently sticks with a very sketchy official story. In the case of MLK, it was proven in civil court that James Earl Ray was not the shooter, but a hired patsy. 

At 4:21pm this same day, FBI Director Kash Patel tweeted that the “subject for the horrific shooting” was in police custody. But the individual turned out to be an old man known to the community and was let go. A second, young, suspect, was detained and released after the rifle he was in possession of, said a reporter, turned out to be a pellet gun. For some odd reason authorities released both of these men’s names to the public and it wasn’t long before it circulated online and the threats began. Around 5:59pm Patel posted on social media “The subject in custody has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement.” 

This blunder itself raises the first red flag because it was the FBI Director who announced on social media that the actual shooter had been arrested. This raises the first set of questions: where did Patel gather his intelligence from, what evidence did he review to determine they had the shooter and why were the names of two ‘people of interest’ in an assassination investigation released to the public? 

Law enforcement officials say the rooftop the suspect allegedly fired the shot from was searched and found to contain DNA, a shoe print, and a palm print. In a wooded area nearby they claimed to have found a bolt action rifle with bullets that had anti-fascist ideology etched on them. Photos from a house’s ring door cam capture a stiff legged white male limping through a neighborhood (as if something tucked into the pant leg is obstructing it from bending). Several photos from surveillance cameras show a similarly dressed man heading up a flight of stairs that is believed to lead to the rooftop in question. 

The problem with this story is discerning whether the person that turned himself in is the shooter, or a willing stunt double. Robinson’s own assertion, and photos that prove he was there should be enough to rule out any conspiracies. Yet, in classic style, in comes the banana in the tailpipe, that turns everything onto its head.

Several crystal clear photos circulating are of a white male in a stairwell wearing: shades, a black backpack, a black long sleeved shirt with a bald eagle in front of the American flag on it, a hat with a white logo, skin-tight jeans and sneakers. In other photos this same person is seen in the same attire but without a backpack on. In another photo (presumably the same person) he’s wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with an oblique image on it (that could be confused as the bald eagle shirt from a distance), shades, a black backpack, a different colored hat with the same logo on it, skin-tight jeans and a wrist watch. 

Without an explanation, officials said Robinson told someone that he’d changed clothes beforehand, which is supposed to justify why the person in the photos isn’t dressed the same. But it doesn’t, it raises more questions. 

With common sense, we can rule out the following: 

1) He changed clothes to fool surveillance operators into believing he wasn’t the gunman, but a student. 

2) He changed clothes to blend in with spectators on the way to the roof, and with the scampering crowd after the shot was fired. 

3) He changed clothes because he saw a homeowner watching him suspiciously limp down the street. 

4) He changed clothes after being questioned by a student suspicious of why he was limping around campus. 

These common reasons, and really any other reason, lack argument. In each scenario, him limping around in tight jeans is probative to the chain of events. It’s how they say he got the rifle from point A to the rooftop. Plus it seems irrational to wear tight jeans if you plan on hiding a rifle in your pant leg. So you’d think any clear video evidence of Robinson doing this would’ve been released in video format and stills. But strangely enough, the only videos released are far off clips of an unidentifiable figure walking down a street, and one jumping off of a rooftop. Photos of a man going up the stairwell, that clearly look like Robinson, weren’t released as a video, but a ream of stills. And in these stills, each one of the person’s legs are bent at the knee in effort to climb the steps. This defies the video of the limping man’s inability to do the same. 

First off, the only way a lone shooter could’ve accomplished the mission was by getting the rifle and himself on top of the roof without being spotted. Since there were only six security guards assigned to monitor the event, plus Kirk’s own five-man security, avoiding contact with them should’ve been easy. 

At this point the suspect is hundreds of yards away from where the large crowd is gathered and whose attention will be on Kirk. Under these conditions what he’s wearing, before and after, is irrelevant. In the event he was spotted as acting suspicious, and brought a backpack with extra clothes in case this happened: adding or removing the wrist watch and changing from one set of clothes into a similar set, doesn’t prevent him from looking like the suspicious subject, but makes him a prime suspect. 

Second off, after firing the shot the suspect was well aware that he’d be long gone before a crowd of 3,000 screaming people scattered. Had he believed he’d still need to blend in with the stampede, doing so with a rifle in tow would jeopardize getting away unnoticed. So logically, there was no reason for him to have wasted time swapping gear. This scenario also suggests, him needing to change beforehand was of more importance than hiding his face from surveillance footage, keeping the rifle, using gloves to prevent leaving behind any forensic evidence, successfully shooting Kirk and getting away. 

Even if he did change clothes, where at? Why did he need to change them? Why isn’t this seemingly relevant information being talked about by every news station in the country? It’s as if we’ve forgotten the history of the government’s role in political violence in America. 

One thing these so-called lone nut assassins always have in common is their ability to expertly plan and execute the assassination without any help, marksman skills or prior training. They often fail miserably in their effort to flee the scene without leaving behind items, such as DNA, shoe prints, bags or the murder weapon. 

These discrepancies alone arouse the interest of conspiracy buffs, skeptics and truth seekers. Had Kirk’s assassination gone down without the mishaps I explained earlier, I would have no reason to believe that Robinson didn’t act alone. Or more clearly, didn’t act with, or as the shooter’s stunt double. 

For those unfamiliar, this is how the official story for most lone-nut assassins usually goes: one day they wake up hating a political figure (despite having no previous political stance or ever voting), become radicalized in a matter of months through ultra leftist propaganda, jot down notes about it or tell multiple people they have it in for that particular person, find the correct weapon, or express their desire to find one, go to the event this person will be at, slip security, shoot and kill the figure with one shot and get away unscathed. 

It is an enigma that during the pre-surveillance-camera era, lone-nut assassins tended to leave behind guns with their finger prints on them, or other key evidence that could only link them to the crime if it’s improbably found nearby. Otherwise, who this person was would have remained a mystery. Now that there are surveillance cameras, there’s also AI technology that can alter what is actually recorded and when. 

According to authorities, days before the shooting, Robinson told a friend through the messaging app Discord that he really needed to find a gun, as if he didn’t have immediate access to one. An associate of Robinson contradicted this by telling the media he was well aware that Robinson’s family had guns in their home. Robinson is also seen in family photos holding firearms and was known to go on hunting trips. Based on this information alone, why would Robinson jeopardize his well-executed mission by messaging for help with finding a gun, when he could’ve driven to his family’s home for one, or purchased a rifle himself? He obviously wasn’t interested in preventing the police from finding it, or them knowing who he was after the fact. So him avoiding the former and latter efforts, out of fear of leaving a trail, is absolutely absurd. 

Authorities tried to obtain records that Robinson sent messages seeking a gun through Discord, but the outlet said he never left any messages about needing weapons, or had done anything that violated their terms of service. What Discord did have was one of Robinson’s friends telling another (after the attack) that Robinson gave him a note concerning him wanting a gun. This notion is all heresay and typical post-assassination witness testimony. Whether this note really exists remains unknown. Either way, my belief the government was involved is unwavering. 

In the midst of this chaos Donald Trump and his extorted right-wing sycophants are attempting to push the theory that Robinson was inspired by leftist ideology and wanted Kirk dead to protect his roommate (a trans female) from Kirk’s anti-transgender rhetoric. These tactics are obviously designed to draw order out of chaos and suggest Kirk’s death was a proximate result of the Democrat party’s unfounded hate speech rhetoric that Robinson was unfortunately exposed to. Yet in fact such a thing is exactly what the Republicans and Kirk vehemently promote. 

Authorities claim Robinson is refusing to cooperate, but this doesn’t mean he’s not answering questions, it could mean he’s refusing to accept responsibility. This is a matter that needs to be probed beyond what the media is reporting. If we have only learned one thing about assassinations in the past, it’s that the official story isn’t always the real story.
