Another tragic chapter in the war on free speech has been written—and this one’s dripping with bitter irony. Charlie Kirk, a bold voice for conservative values and fearless defender of free thought, was gunned down during a campus event. The alleged assassin? A 22-year-old academic overachiever named Tyler Robinson, whose ACT scores looked more like something out of a Mensa application than a criminal rap sheet.
Let’s get one thing straight: this wasn’t your average dropout or basement-dwelling misfit. According to records uncovered from what was once his mother’s Facebook account—before it was scrubbed faster than Hunter Biden’s laptop—Robinson scored an eye-popping 34 out of 36 on the ACT back in 2020. That’s not just good, folks. That’s Ivy League, full-ride scholarship, your-teachers-ask-you-for-help good.
He scored a perfect 36 in reading. A 34 in math and English. His science and STEM scores? Also near the top of the national charts. His subscores show 100% in functions, statistics, probability, and interpreting scientific data. In other words, this kid had a brain. He had options. He had a future.
So what on Earth went wrong?
Well, let me take a wild guess. Maybe it’s what’s been pumped into the heads of young Americans for the past decade like poison through an IV drip. Maybe it’s the endless stream of woke propaganda, identity politics, and anti-American filth that passes for “higher education” these days. Maybe it’s the message that conservatives are not just wrong—but evil. That silencing them isn’t just allowed—it’s heroic.
Robinson allegedly perched himself on a rooftop 200 yards away from the stage where Kirk was speaking to hundreds of students—peacefully, legally, and with passion. Then, in a single, chilling moment, he pulled the trigger on a Mauser .30-06 bolt-action rifle, ending the life of a man whose only “crime” was challenging leftist orthodoxy.
It wasn’t random. It wasn’t a mistake. It was a sniper shot, deliberate and precise. The killer fled the scene, ditched the gun in the woods, and tried to disappear into the crowd. But he left behind a palm print, some footprints, and a mountain of questions.
The real question is this: How does someone that smart go that wrong?
You don’t need a psychology degree to figure this out. This is what happens when our institutions teach kids to hate their country, fear free speech, and see conservatives as enemies. This is what happens when the media shrugs off attacks on the right as “free expression” and labels any pushback as “fascism.”
Let’s not forget—this is the same country where Antifa rioters are called “mostly peaceful,” where Christian students are mocked, and where conservative speakers need security details just to survive a college visit. But a left-wing radical with a sniper rifle? He’s just a troubled genius, right?
Give me a break.
This isn’t just about Charlie Kirk. It’s about the culture that made Tyler Robinson. A culture that rewards rage, glorifies victimhood, and paints the right as monsters. It’s about universities that hand out safe spaces like candy but can’t protect a conservative speaker from a bullet.
We don’t know all the facts yet, but we know enough to be furious.
Charlie Kirk was a fighter. He believed in the Constitution, in debate, in the power of ideas. He didn’t hide behind trigger warnings or cancel culture. And for that, he was targeted.
The left can’t win the argument, so they try to end the conversation—by any means necessary.
The tragedy here isn’t just the loss of a great man. It’s that a brilliant young mind was turned into a weapon, aimed at the very freedoms that gave him the chance to succeed in the first place.
So no, we’re not going to sit down. We’re not going to shut up. And we’re certainly not going to surrender our right to speak, debate, and believe without fear.
This is America. And we don’t back down.
