....
Just before 10 p.m. that night, Robinson, his father and a close friend who previously worked in law enforcement drove together from Washington, Utah, to the Washington County Sheriff's Office in Hurricane, Sgt. Lance Alfred, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office, told ABC News.
....
Robinson was kept in the back offices of the sheriff's office and turned over to the FBI and other law enforcement upon their arrival, which was just before 6 a.m. on Friday.
He was described as "quiet and somber," officials said on Wednesday. Officials said they attempted to make conditions "gentle" and "inviting" for Robinson before the FBI and other law enforcement arrived."....(more)

And sometimes thrown into jail for just having a miscarriage.

(55,371 posts)Exactly what Robinson was allegedly referring to by "hate" was not clear. Investigators noted that Robinson's mom told them that her son allegedly began having a relationship with his roommate, who is transitioning, and had begun leaning to the left more politically, becoming "more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented," but the document does not indicate the relevance of those stances nor whether Kirk's remarks about those issues were a motivating factor.
Wow they have completely turned this upside down. Did they never hear or read Kirks words?
The media spin is scary

(3,894 posts)It's weird, but it's almost as if their hate for liberals has been justified through the shooter, and therefore they don't hate him as much.
