What we know and do not know

The suspect’s colleague of Charlie Kirk had killed one question.

“Why?”

“I had enough hatred,” Tyler Robinson wrote. “Some hatred cannot be negotiated.”

On Tuesday, the authorities issued messages between Robinson and her colleague in the room hours before the shooting. The officials of the room, whose name was “a biological male” was moving from a man to a woman and was in a romantic relationship with the defendant.

Prosecutors also provided more details that can indicate a possible motivation – although there is still much unknown.

According to an indictment, Robinson’s mother told the police that over the past year or so, Robinson has become more political and confidential, “more supportive of gay and equipping rights.”

In the family talks before the shooting, he claimed that Robinson accused Kerk of spreading hatred.

Prosecutors say that Robinson left a message to his colleague in the room: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kerk and I will take it.”

During the news conference on Tuesday, Utah Jeff Gray County Prosecutor, instead of deleting messages like Robinson, presented the Missives room colleague to the police.

Messages and interviews with family members constitute decisive parts of the indictment against Robinson and give some insight into his mental state.

In addition, investigators also said that four shell covers were found alongside a gun discovered in a wooded area near the University of Utah Valley.

The coincidence covers contained engraved messages on them, which, before the arrest of Robinson, was among the only potential evidence regarding the motivation of the murderer – and it was the subject of a lot of speculation.

One tour was not available, “O Fashi! Hunting!” Along with the top, right and three shares down – most likely reference to the video game, helldives 2, indicating one of the special moves of the game.

The authorities say the cover of another shell, read “Bulg Ou notifications, what is this?” – A reference to Mimi about the sub -culture of Farawi and playing roles online.

The British Broadcasting Corporation has also seen an online profile claiming to be owned by Robinson on a website dedicated to Furry Fandom, indicating that he may have an interest in this topic.

Another cover was listed with words from the Bella Ciao song, which honors the partisans in the global era of the Italian resistance who fought Nazi Germany. The song also appeared in a video and television series and it was covered and re -executed several times in the years.

I read the fourth cartridge: “If you read this, you are LMAO’s gay” – another online reference.

But the exact meaning of the messages, if it is supposed to have any meaning at all exceeding a joke, is still unclear. The nature of the online language, with its layers on layers of paradox, means that multiple interpretations are possible.

Robinson said in the messages to his colleague in the room that the inscriptions “mostly are great,” indicating that it should not be considered a serious statement.

It seems that the photos of the social media accounts owned by Robinson and his colleague in the room, which were circulated online, often focus on games – it seems that both Robinson and his colleague in the room were eager video players.

Accounts include some comments scattered on politics, none of them are particularly conclusive or directly indicating the motivation. The British Broadcasting Corporation reviewed the accounts, but it was unable to confirm that it belongs to the husband.

According to the letters issued by the general prosecutors, when his colleague in the room was asked about the period he had taken to plan the attack, Robinson replied: “A little more than a week.”

Public Prosecutors in Utah state often refused to answer questions from the media on Tuesday, and although state governor Spencer Cox said that Robinson had a “left -wing ideology”, there are still gaps in what we know about the potential motivation.

For example, it is not clear what Robinson found specifically about Kirk. It is also unclear how Robinson might be extremist and what role may have online activities in this process.

The authorities were tight on the role – if any – which was played by the suspect’s policy of attack.

When Gray, the provincial prosecutor, was asked whether the transgender activity inspired the shooting, he refused to comment.

There is also the possibility that there is no coherent political position. In many US mass shootings and assassination attempts – including the assassination attempt by Donald Trump in Pennsylvania last July – the killers seem to have a set of mixed political beliefs, or there is no clearly specific ideology.

The FBI recently realized a new category of threats called violent or NVE extremism, which was defined by the general hostility of society and the desire to chaos instead of sharply defined ideology.

The FBI director Cash Patel said in a Senate hearing on Tuesday that his agency witnessed a significant increase in cases of NVE.

In the Kirk case, Catherine Shawwet, a former FBI agent and prosecutor, said that investigators will be busy tracking communications and online interactions for Robinson with friends and family members to raise more information.

“This gives us a lot of insight into a person’s way to violence,” she said, adding that the agents “will collect them all to see how someone moves on the road from frustration all the way to choose a violent work.”

The probability of the death penalty means that the prosecutors will need to show the intention of a murder when they press their case in court. However, Schweit says this is distinguished from the motivation, which may or may not be directly related to the condition.

“Television and films have learned that the motivation is the most important thing, but from the point of view of the claim, it is not.”

Shawet also pointed out that some prominent killers were driven by the desire to be famous or persuade people.

During the Senate session on Tuesday, the FBI director Patel also said that others were being investigated for their involvement in the shooting.

So far, no one else has been charged with regard to the case and the investigators have not referred to anyone else.

This did not stop fever – and most often unlimited speculation – online about alleged motives and wide plots.

A number of right -wing influencers who have huge social media followers, including many who approach President Trump and Kirk Point, claimed that the shooting was the work of a group or a “terrorist cell” inspired by the transgender activity and was carried out by left -wing activists.

Trump said this week that he will appoint an “major terrorist organization” as part of his efforts to target the “radical left”, after Kirk was killed. Robinson, the suspect, was not directly linked to Antifa, a left -wing, non -central movement opposing right -wing, racist and fascist groups.

Some of Trump’s former advisers, including Trump’s chief adviser Steve Bannon, suggested that the text messages exchanged by Robinson and his colleague in the room were fake or wrong in one way or another, which means – again without evidence – a wider conspiracy.

Meanwhile, a number of left-wing social media users continued to claim that Robinson is a Trump supporter or a member of a right-wing extremist group known as “Groypers”-who have constantly distributed Kirk for not supporting their white and anti-Semitic national beliefs.

These allegations also lack evidence, and public prosecutors and Utah state officials have not made any indication that extremist right -wing groups are involved.

“Everyone is jumping to conclusions because this is the society in which we live,” said Shawet, the former FBI’s undersecretary. “Everyone wants an answer – and now.”
