It started with a murder.
It turned into a circus.
And now… it’s spiraled into something much, much worse.
When conservative activist Charlie Kirk was gunned down at Utah Valley University, it should’ve been the story. A young conservative voice, targeted and shot — in public, in broad daylight. But no, the media barely had time to process the scene before a 71-year-old man with a flair for chaos took center stage, screaming, “I shot him. Now shoot me.”
Enter George Zinn.
To no one’s surprise (except maybe the local PD scrambling to control the crowd), he wasn’t the shooter. He was just… there. Like always. Zinn has a habit of popping up at protests, political speeches, and anything remotely controversial. Think of him like a recurring background character in the worst kind of political drama — the guy always “just happens” to be on scene. And this time? He managed to confuse everyone long enough for the real suspect, Tyler Robinson, to make his escape.
But what did surprise people — and what should have been the headline — was what came next.
While being interviewed at the hospital (after his mysterious “medical episode” that somehow happened right after his arrest), Zinn allegedly told investigators something straight out of a nightmare: that he used his phone to view and share… well, let’s just say the worst kind of content involving children.
Yes, that’s right. While the country was still reeling from the assassination of a conservative speaker, police discovered that the man who tried to derail the investigation was allegedly hoarding minor sex abuse material on his phone.
And not just one or two images.
According to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office, there were over 20 images found during a preliminary search — all of young minors, in various forms of undress and “posing.”
Let that sink in.
This isn’t just some deranged old man seeking attention. This is a known political agitator — someone the Left has tolerated (and arguably enabled) for years — now facing four new felony charges related to the exploitation of minors.
Disgusting human.

And yet, the coverage? Crickets.
Imagine, for one second, that the roles were reversed. That a 71-year-old right-wing activist with a rap sheet for public disruption — one who just inserted himself into a conservative’s murder investigation — was suddenly caught with graphic, illegal content on his phone. CNN would break out the countdown clock. MSNBC would dedicate a week of panels. Every late-night “comedian” would be spitting punchlines before the man’s mugshot hit Twitter.
But because this guy was a protest regular, a Sundance Festival crasher, and apparently a well-known leftist nuisance, the whole narrative has gone poof. Mysteriously quiet. Mysteriously uninteresting.
You don’t even have to squint to see the double standard.
NEW: The 71-year-old audience member who was arrested at Charlie Kirk’s UVU event says he told cops he shot Kirk to distract police so the real shooter could escape.
“I shot him, now shoot me,” George Zinn allegedly said immediately after Kirk was shot.

Meanwhile, the actual shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was turned in by his own family. His DNA was found on the murder weapon, wrapped in a towel and stashed in the woods. He left traces at a rooftop sniper’s perch — including on a screwdriver, which helped seal the deal. That’s the man police say pulled the trigger. But Zinn? He tried to take the spotlight — and in doing so, exposed something far more repulsive.
Now he’s sitting in jail, not for murder, but for allegedly consuming and sharing sexual abuse material — and still, the media is barely touching it. No front-page outrage. No 24/7 ticker. No calls for investigations into why this man was free to loiter around a university campus, much less near a conservative speaker with a literal target on his back.
This isn’t just a twisted footnote in the story of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. It’s a blaring siren that something is very broken — not just in the institutions, but in the narratives we’re told to swallow.
