After fatally shooting MAGA firebrand Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson did not show any regret about taking a person's life, says an expert. But what he actually feared was the reaction of his father, Matt Robinson, once he learnt about the assassination.
Body language expert Dr Lillian Glass told Daily Mail that Tyler Robinson was a "remorseless coward with serious daddy issues" as she decoded the final text exchanged between the killer and his romantic transgender partner Lance Twiggs.

After shooting dead Charlie Kirk and hiding the Mauser 98 rifle used for the crime, Tyler Robinson messaged Twiggs, expressing his concerns about how his father would react. Surprisingly, he was not worried about police arresting him.
"He certainly has revealed himself. He shows he was concerned more about his father's reaction to losing the gun than taking someone's life. His biggest fear is his father's wrath," the outlet quoted Dr Glass as saying.
In the text, Tyler wrote, "How the f**l will I explain losing it to my old man…"

After his father Matt sees the photo of the rifle released by FBI, he asks Tyler to sent him photo of the rifle that was gifted to him. In his text to Twiggs, Tyler writes, "He's calling me rn, not answering".
The expert also cited the messages, saying Tyler Robinson was delusional as he assured his partner that would return home soon despite knowing that the police were tracking the rifle abandoned by him.
"Robinson's response indicated that he is living in a delusion and actually thinks he is going to get away with what he has just done," she added. "He's acting as though it is no big deal, like he's late for dinner, so to speak, and will be home soon."
Dr Glass also pointed out that Tyler was a controlling person as he orders Twiggs to delete their chat and to keep quiet. "We are seeing there's a lot of control and that the controlling figure in the relationship is Robinson, who's telling him what to do," seh said.
She dismissed ABC News reporter's claim that Tyler calling Twiggs "my love" was touching. "There's nothing touching about this. It's a throwaway line based on the context. He didn't say 'I love you'. He just killed someone, and the only thing he's worried about is his own behind," she explained.
