George Zinn, who allegedly fabricated a confession in the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has been arrested on charges of obstruction of justice and possession of child sexual abuse material, Utah authorities said.
Zinn, 71, was arrested at the scene of the September 10 shooting at Utah Valley University in Orem after shouting, “I shot him, now shoot me.” He later told investigators he faked the confession to help the real suspect—later identified as Tyler Robinson—escape, according to a probable cause statement.
Authorities said an investigation into Zinn led to the discovery of explicit material on his phone, including more than 20 images of children between the ages of 5 and 12. Court records also cite graphic messages in which Zinn admitted to being aroused by the material.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, FBI agents interviewed Zinn at the hospital where he was taken after complaining of chest pain. During that interview, Zinn admitted to viewing child sexual abuse material and said he was “sexually aroused” by children.
Investigators reportedly found images of underage girls in their underwear on his phone.
Watching all this insanity play out since they’ve cleaned house and tried to remove anyone who isn’t a loyalist, and then being forced to listen to their insane explanations that just make no sense whatsoever, is like getting a glimpse into what it must be like to be part of MAGA and look to these people to guide you.
The experience of this being who I have to turn to by default for an explanation of what is happening. Being gaslit with explanations that never make any sense or address all the weird shit they’ve unintentionally exposed while trying to distract from something else.
And like every time it seems like you caught them red handed. There is no way they can keep denying this and getting away with it. But then they do just spin it on to someone else.
Like I can’t help but think what if I actually trusted these people? What if this was like an abusive relationship where you want to believe so badly all their lies and excuses, and all their attempts to explain why it’s not what it looks like.
But your abuser gets off on the thrill of somehow always getting away with it. So they just keep escalating, and each attempt at a new explanation just gets more and more far fetched. Until one day you find yourself standing in a random D.C. pizzaria taking hostages and demanding the children be freed from the basement?
Like I think I kinda get how that could happen.
Ignorance is bliss?
I guess? Maybe it just hits different if you’re not the group having a murder that was most likely carried out by a ring of narcissistic pedophiles somehow blamed on you?
Like so many people being psychologically and financially abused on such a large scale by a group of narcissists who are also carrying out sexual abuse via their global pedophile network they fund with the money they steal from the people they control.
Like it’s not that I didn’t realize Trump/the GOP was doing all this, I just never really had to think about it from the perspective of his supporters. On the one hand they’re adults that looked at this guy and made the decision for some reason to get involved, but I’ve also never really attempted to sort through a Trump only explanation looking for any possible scraps of truth that line up with reality?
Like during his last presidency he would say insane blatantly obvious lies, and we would just kinda roll our eyes and turn to somebody that wasn’t a cartoon. But he fired or demoted everyone with competence and now it’s like we all have no choice but to listen to the narrative being controlled like by an IRL cast of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Your mistake is thinking like conservatives have the same faculties as you. They don’t.
The thing they aim to do when they communicate, and the means by which they do it, are entirely different. Their words are not specific symbols for constructing meaning, but vibesy triggers for existing structures of meaning. It means they’re a lot more sensitive–one could say ‘reactive’ to that, but words do not ‘mean’ things to them in the same way they ‘mean’ things to you and I.
Likewise, when they talk, they’re not saying what the words they’re saying literally mean. They’re howling. Signalling to the pack or trying to get a response in an entirely interiority-free chinese-room sort of way.
