Disturbing Texts Between Tyler Robinson And His Trans 'Love' After Charlie Kirk Assassination . . .

Last Wednesday, Robinson texted his roommate, "drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard," according to the charging documents. Prosecutors said that when the roommate looked under the keyboard, he found a note stating, "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it." After reading the note, the roommate replied via text, "What?????????????? You're joking, right????" the charging documents stated.

Robinson: I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn't be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.

Roommate: you weren't the one who did it right????

Robinson: I am, I'm sorry

Roommate: I thought they caught the person?

Robinson: no, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. Its quiet, almost enough to get out, but theres one vehicle lingering.

Roommate: Why?

Robinson: Why did I do it?

Roommate: Yeah

Robinson: I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out. If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again, hopefully they have moved on. I haven't seen anything about them finding it.…

Roommate: How long have you been planning this?

Robinson: a bit over a week I believe.
