UPDATED: Kirk killer looks normal, for a loonie leftist

"We've got him!", said President Trump first thing this morning. And here he is --Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah. That's all we know about him... so far.

This is what we know about what led up to his arrest, at 2200 MDT yesterday, for the brutal public assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Federal investigators and state officials released a series of photos and a video of the person they believe is responsible. They also released new and enhanced photos of a person in a hat, sunglasses, a long-sleeve black shirt and a backpack. 

A Mauser .30-06, bolt-action rifle was found in a towel in the woods. A spent cartridge was recovered from the chamber, and three other rounds were loaded in the magazine, according to information circulated among law enforcement and described to The Associated Press. 

Unlike the Wall Street Journal (see yesterday's post on WWW) AP, a charter member of the lickspittle media pack, said nothing about any strange markings on the bullets, only that the weapon and ammunition were being analyzed at a federal lab. 

Without even hinting that Charlie Kirk is the latest victim of the culture wars, AP says his assassination "offers the latest example of how ordinary security measures can be defeated in an era of escalating political violence, when anyone associated with the political process is a potential target. Security experts interviewed by AP questioned whether the event was sufficiently staffed but also acknowledged the limitations of both campus police forces and outdoor venues."

Are we going to be told any more about the alleged assassination, such as his political and/or sexual preferences? Depends on whether or not that information fits the liberal woke orthodoxy. Stay tuned... but don't hold your breath.

UPDATE added @ 1310 FMT: Surprise, surprise! We're actually hearing more about what was going on inside Mr Robinson's alleged mind. 

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) revealed today that bullet casings in the rifle allegedly used by Tyler Robinson to assassinate Charlie Kirk were etched with a variety of messages. He said that investigators noted inscriptions that had been engraved on casing found with the rifle. 

Insriptions on a fired casing read: "Notice bulges OwO What’s this?" Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read: "Hey fascist! Catch!” [and then] Up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols. A second unfired casing read, "O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao," and a third unfired casing read, "If you read this, you are gay, LMAO."

The arrow symbols may have been a video game reference. The phrase “bella ciao” is reportedly associated with left-wing songs, loosely linked to 20th century Italian opponents of fascism. The "Notices bulges" message, according to Know Your Meme, is a reference to gay sexuality associated with the "furry" phenomenon, which refers to attraction to cartoon animals. 

Walt sez: Aha! There's the queer element, right there! Stay tuned for more....
