When I think of lawyers I think of the American justice system, and when I think of that I begin to dwell on cases like the Charlie Kirk assassination and the treatment of Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson.
Kirk was murdered on September 10, 2025, and yet Robinson’s trial may not begin for another six months. That’s one-and-a-half years since the soyboy with an enormous drop jaw (look at his profile) climbed to that rooftop in Orem, Utah and shot and killed a man in the prime of life. When Kirk was assassinated, he was explaining to the outdoor audience at Utah Valley University the dangers of transgender ideology.
Robinson had a boyfriend, Lance Twiggs, who identified as transgender – male-to-female – who helped radicalize him. In fact, Twiggs’s own family said that Twiggs was heavily radicalized and was “full of hate.” Full of hate for conservatives and Donald Trump; in other words, Jimmy Kimmel on steroids. Twiggs’s trans identity makes Robinson sexually fluid or bisexual because he’s apparently able to switch from loving men to men who “costume” as females.
Robinson looks like zillions of twenty-something Philly guys walking their dogs on the way to Whole Foods. He’s a Gen Z type. The twist in his case is that he came from a Republican family that supported Donald Trump in the 2024 election. When he was first arrested, some liberals were saying that he was a Trump supporter, a concept that defies common sense. Later, when it was known that he came from a family of Republicans, his “killer insanity” was blamed on his conservative upbringing.
“What did that Trump-supporting family do to him?” some asked.
Misfit radicals of the left who come from conservative families are rather the norm than the exception.
During the 1960s counterculture era, most of the student radicals and hippies dancing half-nude on the Cambridge Common near Boston didn’t grow up in hippie communes but in suburban “white bread” neighborhoods. They came from conservative families although the word “conservative” then was not used to denote people who went to church and didn’t object to standing for the National Anthem. They were just normal Americans.
The leaders of these 1960s leftist organizations all had one thing in common: an inflated sense of self- importance and an easy arrogance that made them basically unattractive people. Snarly narcissism was also a common trait.
After his arrest, Robinson morphed into a jailhouse diva. He wanted to ditch his jail clothes for court appearances. Presumably he wanted to appear in court dressed in a shirt and tie, altar boy garb, because appearing in shackles and cuffs might cast him in a sinister light.
The Robinson case has been nothing but a series of ploys by the defense to delay – and delay – the trial until the murder of Kirk is almost forgotten, much like looking at a distant star through the lens of a telescope.
The farther away you get from a horrendous event, the easier it becomes to detach the killer from his murderous deed. Detachment happens by degrees. If down the line, Robinson gets 30 years without parole for taking Kirk’s life, the public is less likely to feel a sense of outrage at the sentence. Why? Because the initial horror of the murder he committed will have evaporated.
This is why our system of justice is all wrong when it comes to bringing people like Tyler Robinson to justice.
Trials for cases of this magnitude need to happen almost immediately before the patina of horror wears off and the killer has had a chance to work up a fan following and an elaborate Machiavellian defense.
It’s obscene to wait even a year for a trial like this to commence.
Robinson’s defense team has essentially forgotten about their client’s actual crime and is intent only on winning this case, which in this case is seeing Robinson go free so he can join Twiggs, his trans lover in Utah, and maybe even run for office as a Democrat ten years from now.
Robinson’s defense team is “babying” him. What criminal becomes a prima donna in jail? Tyler Robinson does.
In many ways, this twenty-something alleged assassin is much like that other twenty-something alleged assassin, Luigi Mangione, the Italian-American prince educated in the finest schools and heartthrob of horny leftists, both men and women, who find him hot (the Daily Mail reported that Mangione had once made a series of adult movies).
Mangione is accused of shooting and killing United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, on a street in New York City. He had planned the attack for a long time, having written in his diary that he was committed to the act after researching the injustices of the American healthcare system.
Thompson, the father of three, had his life taken for political reasons, and the accused killer still hasn’t been brought to trial. He sits in jail reading his fan mail from horny leftists as his lawyers devise new ways to postpone the trial — to make people forget.
In his high school valedictory address, Mangione praised his classmates for “coming up with new ideas and challenging the world.”
Challenging the world with assassinations!
As for Robinson, in April his lawyers asked the court to delay his May preliminary hearing, insisting that biased coverage was tainting potential jurors. As of this writing, a trial date has not been set.
The longer this goes on the better the chances that alleged killers Robinson and Mangione will not suffer the consequences they deserve. Mangione is on video tape shooting Thompson, while Robinson’s prosecutors argue they have sufficient proof beyond DNA to tie Robinson to Kirk's killing. This includes surveillance video of Robinson near the university from the morning of the shooting wearing the same clothes as when he turned himself in.
Then there’s the handwritten note Robinson left for his romantic partner confessing to the crime before it happened.
Robinson also confessed to friends on the chatroom platform that he committed the murder, prosecutors said.
It’s time to be done with this nonsense and (hopefully) hang both of these fine fellows.
