Tyler Robinson was more concerned about his dad's reaction than 'taking someone's life', expert reveals
WASHINGTON, DC: As police closed in on Tyler Robinson following the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, his final text messages with his live-in partner revealed a disturbing glimpse into his remorseless and controlling mindset, which was more concerned with his father's reaction and the shooting gun rather than the life he had taken.
World-renowned communication and body language expert Dr Lillian Glass analyzed the exchanges, dissected the nuances of every single line of what turned out to be the pair's final text conversation.
Through her findings, she told the Daily Mail that Robinson didn't just admit to the pre-meditated killing of Kirk but also exposed himself to be a remorseless coward with serious daddy issues.
Tyler Robinson had more fear of father than the crime he committed, claims expert
According to the expert, the messages revealed a man detached from the gravity of his crime.
“He certainly has revealed himself,” Glass told the Daily Mail. “He shows he was concerned more about his father’s reaction to losing the gun than taking someone’s life. His biggest fear is his father’s wrath.”
Robinson repeatedly worried about the fate of the rifle, fitted with a $2,000 scope, and about what he would tell his father if he failed to return it. “How will I explain losing it to my old man…,” he wrote.
Tylor Robinson’s delusional and controlling tone emerges
Despite the police closing in, Robinson assured roommate Lance Twiggs he would be home soon. “Robinson’s response indicated that he is living in a delusion and actually thinks he is going to get away with what he has just done,” Dr Glass observed.
“He’s acting as though it is no big deal, like he’s late for dinner, so to speak, and will be home soon.”
Robinson also ordered Twiggs to delete the texts, stay silent, and get a lawyer. “We are seeing there’s a lot of control,” Glass noted.
“The controlling figure in the relationship is Robinson, who’s telling him what to do,” she said.
At one point Robinson used an affectionate phrase, “my love”. But Glass dismissed media descriptions of it as tender. “It is not touching. There’s nothing touching about this. It’s a throwaway line based on the context. He didn’t say ‘I love you.’ He just killed someone, and the only thing he’s worried about is his own behind.”
Expert says Tyler Robinson has no remorse, only self-protection
In his texts, Robinson admitted: “To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.”
He justified his actions by writing: “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”
Glass found the overall tone disturbing. “He pretty much has no remorse,” she said. “He is very nonchalant about what he did. He is more concerned about losing his grandfather’s gun than killing another man.”
Robinson also referenced engraving bullets with anti-fascist and pro-trans slogans and expressed fear of them being reported on Fox News.
During Tuesday’s hearing, Robinson appeared dazed and looked at the floor while prosecutors filed a notice of intent to seek the death penalty.
“He admits to his crime, and he admits to pre-meditated murder,” Dr Glass concluded. “He’d been thinking about this for a long time, and he thinks he’s going to get away with it until the very end.”
