Jordan Brann, a former classmate of Tyler Robinson at Pine View High in Utah, posted a viral TikTok claiming Robinson was a “Reddit-type” student who spent too much time online. Brann’s video gained over two million views and sparked debate about internet culture’s influence on youth.
Robinson, a quiet student with good grades and a scholarship, later dropped out of college and was in an electrical program. At the time of Charlie Kirk’s murder, bullets found at the scene were engraved with memes, anti-fascist slogans, and online jokes.
Robinson was arrested after his father recognized him in FBI footage. He faces multiple charges, including aggravated murder. Governor Spencer Cox called the case disturbing and heavily influenced by internet extremism.
