As the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s murder goes on, more information is coming to light about the killer’s family. Screenshots show that Tyler Robinson’s mother, Amber Jones Robinson, used to post pictures of herself and her kids posing with powerful guns on Facebook.
But not long after the shooting, those same pictures started to go missing. People say she “cleaned up” her timeline by quickly getting rid of any signs of her family’s love of guns. But the internet never forgets, and those screenshots are now all over the place.
One post from 2017 shows the family going to Salt Lake City and smiling while holding military-grade guns. Another birthday tribute from 2021 calls her son a “brilliant kid who loves leatherworking, guns, and cowboys.”
Some people say that this public praise of guns in the home makes the path that led Tyler Robinson to do something horrible even more disturbing. His mother’s attempt to get rid of these pictures may only make people more curious about how his home life affected his way of thinking.
The Robinson family has not made a public statement about the issue. But the deleted pictures say more than words ever could, and now the whole world is paying attention.
