Reactions trail Tyler Robinson's court appearance

@Fazedown69 said:

"He had a family. He had children. He had a wife. He had friends. He had fans. He had supporters."

@tactical.cpo said:

"Charlie Kirk never used hate speech. He used speech they hated."

@Jaybop43 said:

"So scary to believe he gave up his whole life because of Charlie Kirk… no more video games, no movies, no restaurants, no freedom, no more new experiences. All he caused is a bunch of people to continue barking at each other…….It’s just so insane to me."

@ZachBlake said:

"Are you telling me 6 days after the shooting, we are already seeing court footage…. Is everyone believing this??? All these other huge cases, we waited YEARS to hear and see any courtroom footage, but this… 6 days after the crime happened?"

"This doesn't make sense.. Big cases like this take way longer. They had all the details fast fast. Its too well put together like a movie."

@EmmaY said:

"How anyone can laugh and celebrate when another human being is murdered is beyond evil! Charlie Kirk was never hateful, but spoke truth, sometimes the truth hurts. There’s more to this story though we are not being told, doesn’t make sense."

@Pamela Kicklighter said:

"Whether you agreed with Charlie Kirk or not, he did not deserve to be shot down in cold blood. Not to mention this man put others at risk when he fired that shot. You can’t shoot people just because you don’t agree with them. We are entitled to our own beliefs."
