Ricky Schroder Shares Bold Message for Man Accused in Charlie Kirk Case: ‘Do the Right Thing’
Ricky Schroder shares a direct video message to the suspect in the Charlie Kirk case, urging confession and forgiveness.
Former child star Ricky Schroder has a bold message to share with the man charged in connection with the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
Schroder has been paying close attention to the latest developments in the case, including traveling to Provo, Utah, as preliminary hearings in the case take place. Now, Schroder has something to say directly to the man accused in the death of Kirk, Tyler Robinson.
On July 8, Schroder shared a new video on his Instagram page. He began, “Tyler, son, you can do the right thing now. You can ask for forgiveness after you confess, and I think that’s what is in your best interest.”
In the caption of his post and in the video, Schroder suggested that Robinson could “still do good in this world by helping unite people.”
Schroder incorporated numerous religious references into his message, also noting he had prayed for the suspect and his family the previous night.
Hundreds of Schroder’s followers added their thoughts in the comment section of the Instagram post.
Many admitted that they disagreed with the Silver Spoons actor’s thoughts on the case, as well as his approach to sharing his message. Others thanked him for “standing up” for the Kirk family and religion.
“You’re a good man Ricky. Ignore the naysayers in the comments section,” one fan wrote.
Another added, “I’m so proud of the man you’ve become!”
Schroder also spoke with Newsmax on July 9 to share his thoughts on the latest courtroom developments.
At one point, Schroder referenced political commentator Candace Owens, whom he has criticized for questions she has posed regarding Kirk’s death.
The former child actor believes the evidence in the case involving Robinson is “overwhelming,” and he wants those spreading “ridiculous conspiracy theories” about the incident to stop.
The actor shared that he has not yet had a chance to personally meet Kirk’s family, who have been attending the pretrial hearings in Utah. Schroder noted he would like to have a “chance to sit down” to talk with them, should the opportunity arise.
