Tyler Robinson, the accused assassin of Charlie Kirk, appeared to have an online fixation with furries, while his live-in transgender partner expressed support for President Joe Biden and made light of mental illness in social media posts.<\/p>\n
Lance Twiggs, 22, an aspiring professional gamer and Robinson\u2019s roommate, wrote in a 2022 Reddit post: \u201cWe are riding with Biden on this glorious subreddit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Twiggs, who comes from a conservative Christian family in Utah, is transitioning from male to female and was in a relationship with Robinson, Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed Sunday, per the New York Post.<\/p>\n
The Reddit comment appeared on a satirical subreddit known for sarcastic posts, with a later entry referencing former Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush. \u201cOne day Jeb will be president and America will fully reform into a utopia,\u201d the comment in the same thread says.<\/p>\n
The social media activity was first\u00a0reported by the\u00a0Daily Mail.<\/p>\n
In another post, Twiggs mentioned that he had been receiving targeted ads for treatments related to schizophrenia and other mental health conditions on social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been getting recommended treatments for schizophrenia, bpd [borderline personality disorder], and a brain tumor recently by my social media advertisements. this meme is perfect, thanks,\u201d said the social media post.<\/p>\n
His posts were rarely political but often referenced his gender transition and his former Christian faith.<\/p>\n
The revelations come as investigators examine Robinson\u2019s ties to the \u201cfurry\u201d subculture.<\/p>\n
According to friends who spoke with the Daily Mail, an account on the website FurAffinity.net \u2014 known for sexualized images of cartoon animal characters \u2014 used a username matching one Robinson employed across his gaming and online profiles.<\/p>\n
Twiggs was reportedly \u201caghast\u201d upon learning of Robinson\u2019s alleged crimes and has been \u201cextremely cooperative\u201d with investigators, law enforcement sources told Axios.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s pretty clear that Robinson\u2019s roommate knew a lot and didn\u2019t say anything after the killing, so they\u2019re a person of interest officially and are cooperating. We want to keep it that way,\u201d said one official.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what happened? Oh my God, no. Here are all the messages,\u201d Twiggs told authorities, per the source.<\/p>\n
Robinson\u2019s online activity reflected a mix of liberal politics, gamer-style humor, and post-ironic memes. Once raised in the Mormon faith, he had left the church well before the alleged assassination.<\/p>\n
Four former classmates from Pine View High School told The Post they remembered Robinson as a quiet, reserved student who mostly kept to himself.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe seemed pretty normal and average to me,\u201d Justin Lee, who took some classes with Robinson, told The Post.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only thing that makes me say \u2018That sounds about right\u2019 was when \u2018notices bulge owo\u2019 was written on one of the bullet casings,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Robinson, 22, has been placed under \u201cspecial watch\u201d until he has a mental health evaluation,\u00a0per officials.<\/p>\n
Robinson will remain in the Utah County Sheriff\u2019s Department\u2019s special housing unit under \u201cspecial watch\u201d to allow officials to closely monitor his mental health. The sheriff\u2019s department warned that the procedure could take a few days.<\/p>\n
Robinson will keep going with the classification process to find out where he will stay when he is in jail after he is cleared.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will continue to be monitored by mental, medical, and custody staff throughout the duration of his stay,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s department said.<\/p>\n
The department added that the \u201cspecial watch\u201d status is given for several reasons, such as the type of crime the suspect is being held on, behavioral problems, violent behavior, or suicidal words made during the arrest.<\/p>\n
The sheriff\u2019s office said it hasn\u2019t been made aware of any specific suicidal thoughts or words about Robinson.<\/p>\n
Robinson was caught after being\u00a0on the run for 33 hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
