The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is currently delving into a series of social media posts that seemingly hinted at prior knowledge of the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
This investigation, as revealed by three individuals familiar with the matter and screenshots obtained by The Washington Free Beacon, involves at least seven different accounts. These posts, one of which alarmingly mentioned the exact date of Kirk's assassinationSeptember 10more than a month before the incident, were subsequently deleted in the aftermath of the killing.
Notably, several of these accounts appear to be linked to transgender individuals, with at least one account following the roommate of the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, on TikTok.
According to The Washington Free Beacon, the FBI has been provided with archived copies of these posts, thanks to a vigilant individual who flagged them for the agency. While screenshots of these posts have been circulating online, they had not been previously authenticated.
Although the posts do not definitively prove any direct connection or conspiracy with Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of shooting Kirk, they do mention Kirk by name and disturbingly fantasize about his death.
One post from September 3 read, "itd be funny if someone like charlie kirk got shot on september 10th LMAO," while another, dated August 6, ominously stated, "September 10th will be a very interesting day." Following Kirk's assassination, the same account cryptically added, "I plead the fifth."
The investigation has also uncovered that several of these accounts are associated with LGBT subcultures. For instance, an account named "churbum75m (SAW TYLER JUNE 30)" appears to follow Robinson's roommate, Lance Twiggs, on TikTok.
This account posted a chilling message on X shortly after Kirk was declared dead: "WE FUCKING DID IT." Another account, "@fujoshincel," linked to the anime genre depicting romantic relationships between men, and "@NajraGalvz," who identified as nonbinary, had both expressed ill will towards Kirk. The latter had ominously predicted that "something big will happen" when Kirk set foot on campus.
In a video shared on TikTok the night before the shooting, an individual who seems to be transgender wrote, "charles james kirkdoes not know whats coming tomorrow," adding, "This isnt a threat. Its a promise."
The FBI's investigation is also exploring whether pro-transgender groups had prior knowledge of Robinson's intentions. This aspect of the probe, initially reported by the New York Post, includes scrutiny of Armed Queers SLC, a group whose logo features high-caliber rifle bullets.
As the investigation unfolds, it raises questions about the potential involvement of online communities in violent acts and the extent to which social media platforms can be used to predict or prevent such tragedies. The case underscores the importance of vigilance and the need for law enforcement to adapt to the evolving digital landscape in order to safeguard individuals and uphold justice.
