The governor of Utah and the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed on Monday that the suspect in the assassination of prominent US conservative activist and political ally of President Trump, Charlie Kirk, has been arrested.

Today, the United States is experiencing the longest period of political violence since the 1970s, and the death of Kirk is likely to further exacerbate the cracks in American society, triggering more violence.

According to sources, Robinson had confessed to his father that he was the gunman in the case and was taken away by police after his father called the police. Utah Governor Cox confirmed the news, saying Robinson had been detained on the night of 11 and was assisted by his family to report and sent to police.

Cox said Robinson's family told the Washington County Sheriff's Office through a friend on the night of the 11th, "Robinson confessed to them that he had created the incident."

16 will be in court for the first time.

Utah County Attorney¡¯s Office expects Robinson to appear in court for the first time on September 16. One official said that assuming everything goes as planned, they will formally file a lawsuit on 16 and Robinson will appear in court for the first time through an online hearing at 15 a.m. on the same day.

According to US media reports earlier in the day, Robinson has been detained in prison without bail. At present, he faces a number of preliminary charges, including aggravated murder, felony gun use and obstruction of justice, but he has not been formally charged.

Political violence escalates divisions

The United States is in a ¡°death cycle.¡±

Cox concluded the conference that day that political violent crime is spreading across the United States, and that Kirk's "political assassination" is an attack on the foundations of American ideology and the basic ideas of Americans.

Several media reports pointed out that Kirk¡¯s death indicates that political violence is becoming increasingly widespread in the United States, and that Kirk¡¯s death could further escalate the divisions that have already existed in the United States, triggering more political violence.

According to Reuters, the U.S. is experiencing the longest period of political violence since the 1970s. Since Trump supporters struck the U.S. Congress building on January 6, 2021, the agency has recorded more than 300 cases of political-motivated violence.

In July 2024, Trump was wounded by a gunman during a campaign.

In June this year, a gunman who pretended to be a law enforcement officer in Minnesota killed the state¡¯s Democratic MP Melissa Houtman and wounded the state¡¯s Democratic Senator John Hoffman and his family.

The British Broadcasting Company noted in a report that it is difficult to predict where American politics will go, but its development trend is worrying, and violence generates violence. Social media¡¯s ¡°release room effect¡± coupled with a flood of guns has fostered increasingly divided speech, leading to social nervous tension, and increased the likelihood of bloodshed events.

Former Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot, speaks out

In the face of frequent political violence, many Americans are calling on all sectors of society to exercise restraint. Gabrielle Giffords, a former Democratic congressman who was shot, said: "This summer, there have been many politically motivated attacks in the United States. Dangerous people are turning to guns to express their differences. We need to take meaningful actions to stop gun crimes from taking more lives."

However, Kirk's death obviously did not stop the argument between the Republican parties in *.

During the silence ceremony in the U.S. House of Representatives, two party lawmakers burst into quarrels.

Republican Rep. Nancy Mays interviewed

Republican Rep. Nancy Mays said, "The Democratic Party is 100% responsible for this matter."

Attacks on politicians, then condemning, calling for reflection and vowing to stop violence, and shortly thereafter again violent incidents, a ¡°death cycle¡± frequently occurring in U.S. politics, has become a ¡°horrifying American ritual.¡±

U.S. Political Journal Commentary

The New York Times quoted Robert Pep, a professor of political sciences at the University of Chicago, as saying, ¡°Our country is basically an instantaneous barrel of rifle.¡±

American college student Lee Muir pointed out that because the polarization phenomenon at home and on campus is severe, you will only hear two completely opposite answers, and there is not much voice in the middle position.

Microsoft-NBC political analyst Jack Sherman commented on the incident

Jack Sherman, a political analyst at Microsoft-National Broadcasting Corporation, said that there are few practical security measures that Congressmen can take right now: ¡°In this country, what we all really need to do is stop what we are doing right now, because it¡¯s what makes politics a ugly, divided and dangerous profession.¡±
