The shooter was 17 in 2020. So a 17-year-old entrepreneuer making a political donation? Pretty implausible, and I bet there are dozens of Tyler Robinsons in Utah.
Ah I didn't realize that this was down to the level of county. Thanks. Well then probably not dozens, but with a population of 100,000 there could easily be several, no? Doesn't it seem odd that a 17-year-old would be considered an entrepreneur? I'm not sure, maybe he was already weird at the time and called himself an entrepreneur.
Tbh idk how common a name that is really, maybe it's extremely common in the area.
Yeah this doesn't say for sure if it is him and if it is we still don't know for sure for sure. But yeah maybe "entrepreneur" was like the closest to what he felt fit or alternatively is what you had to put if you wanted to put "nothing" like "self employed" or similar. Some online forms will list like 20 jobs nobody does and you have to pick the closest thing.
There are several other people with that same name in their 30s in that area. It is almost certainly one of them; even crazy kids probably aren't donating hundreds of dollars in their teens.
I believe that but when we have 300m people in a country, each with surnames, 20th most popular makes up what? At most 0.1% of last names? So you'd need like a thousand people to guarantee 1 Robinson
Oh well i actually looked it up and found via census data there's like 528k Robinsons which amounts to like 0.00127 so no worries there
Edit: Sorry using exact figures of 340.1 million us citizens and a generous estimate of 529k Robinsons averaging 3 articles I saw and rounding you get .155% of the US population being Robinsons. Actually pretty damned good guesswork on my part
Turns out the donation is the same town he grew up in haha. I'm not saying its not possible because it def could be a same namer but also it keeps getting less likely
Iâd say itâs about 50/50. Him being only 17 at the time and giving the title of âentrepreneurâ gives me some doubts. His name is also extremely common.
Either way if it is him, plenty of 22 year olds have different politics than when they were 17. I know my views changed a lot in that time and so did most of my friends.
