Tyler Robinson, the suspect of the Charlie Kirk’s assassination, almost got away with it all. This is how the FBI really caught him. Support my independent work: / thehatedone

The FBI is telling you that the manhunt for the suspect of Charlie Kirk’s assassination was a result of a historic investigation with the use of the most advanced intelligence techniques available to law enforcement.

But the reality will tell you a different story. A story that is now very well reported and reveals how the suspect was actually caught. In what’s about to follow, I’ll explain to you every detail of the surveillance and intelligence behind the manhunt for Tyler Robinson, the alleged shooter at Utah Valley. In reality, it is not clear whether anything the FBI did actually helped track down the suspect.

The most damning admission of this fact is that after a full day of endless investigation, full 24 hours after Charlie Kirk was shot, the FBI, Kash Patel and local law enforcement were so confused they had “no idea where” the suspect was and they weren’t even sure whether he still was in Utah or not.

By the time the police did finally catch Tyler Robinson, he was so far away from the scene of the shooting that had he simply kept running, he probably would’ve gone away with it. He was arrested 250 miles away, in his parental home in St. George, Utah, whole 33 hours after the shooting.

    The FBI caught him, because his family turned him in. Almost identical to how Luigi got caught—ratted out by a coworker.

    The FBI probably wouldn’t have figured either case out if somebody hadn’t narc’d.

      That’s the summary of the video. In the video he argues all that surveillance tech is not worth it because eventually what worked was a traditional policing method. I.e. arguing to defun surveillance and instead invest in traditional methods

    Can someone explain the intriguing clickbait “untraceable gait” in the thumbnail, which I’m sure is not worth watching to find?

      The video’s description links to You Can Run but Not Hide, a Johns Hopkins computer vision presentation about gait recognition techniques.

      Sounds like gait recognition is trained on walking, but most of the security footage of Robinson was of him running, so it doesn’t work there.

      For the videos with him walking, he has a limp. The video thinks this is on purpose to avoid gait recognition, but… he did jump off a roof.

          I didn’t watch the video but theres like software that can identify you based on how you walk. So if you walk completely differently than you normally do, like by putting rocks in your shoes and limping, you can hide who you are

            On general principle, I don’t watch videos that use these kinds of clickbait tactics.

            Why are you so intent in me watching the video, while avoiding answering my question? Is it your channel?

              Its a channel relevant to privacy, so I’m sharing it. If you think 10min is too long and the description is not enough, its on you to find the info you want.

              Its the privacy com and people post about privacy, so you know why your here to begin with.

                lol.

                One way that people find info is by asking questions. Just answering the question is infinitely more useful than this entire comment you’ve made here.

    One of the big takeaways I’m getting from this is that if I ever want to dodge surveillance, I need to cycle through a bunch of silly walks
