A family’s moral stance

In a press conference Friday, officials announced the arrest of Utah resident Robinson because they believe Utah Valley University The founder of the American Turn Point spoke at an event on campus on Wednesday.

“A family member of Tyler Robinson contacted a family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff’s Office for information that Robinson admitted to them, or suggested that he Accident was committed,” Utah Governor Spencer Cox said in a press conference.

“Investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson, who said Robinson has become more politicized in recent years.

Charlie Kirk’s full report

President Donald Trump On “The Fox and Friends” Friday morning, “A man who was very close to him said, ‘Well, it’s him.’ Essentially, the father went to a U.S. marshal, and by the way, the man was involved in law enforcement, but a man of faith, a pastor, and brought him to an U.S. marshal, who was great, and the father convinced his son, that’s it.”

Constantine suggested that Robinson’s father’s decision was likely to be proposed after careful consideration.

“Either the father called the lawyer first or it was more likely that he had a serious conversation with another family member and knew they had to act quickly,” she said. “It was almost unheard of, but they did the right thing, even with a son, which was unsafe, which made citizens in that community safer.

“Parents are now responsible…if they know, if they have any ideas, they have to come forward to protect themselves.”

Acknowledge the threat

According to Constantine, individuals often leave digital or verbal clues before committing violence. She quoted her work FBI Consultant Language analysis software is called “deciphering”, which studies the patterns associated with violent criminals.

She added that her research includes analyzing letters and manifestos, blogs and text messages, things that can enable authorities to understand whether a person is going to perform violence.

“In other cases where I work, it was written throughout the wall,” she said.

She said the key is training Llaw enforcement and threat analysis schools. “We call it ‘pre-explosion’ – behavior that detects dangerously before violence breaks out.”

Constantine expressed hope that the lessons of these terrible behaviors will prompt society to take action in advance.

The next step in the investigation

“They would say, ‘So now is the time you tell us because if you don’t, you’re looking down at the barrel of the death penalty.”

“The death penalty is on the table, and someone is responsible for it.” “The fact of him (Kirke) is Kill in such a terrible way Assassination, I think the judge will bring him any leniency or any kind of mitigation, which will be very difficult. ”

A wake-up call

For Constantine, the case highlights the wider crisis of youth radicalization and complaint-based violence.

“It’s really shocking, we’re here, we have a lot of young people so confused, painful, hatred and rise because we’re seeing a lot in this generation of younger generations,” she said. “We have to figure out what’s wrong. We have to fix it.”

As for Kirk’s legacy, she said he may be remembered not only as an influential politician, but also as bridge builders.
