The shocking murder of Charlie Kirk has revealed not only the evil of his assassin but also the depravity of those who sought to aid him. Among them is 71-year-old George Hodgson Zinn, a man with a long, sordid history of clashes with authorities, and now exposed for attempting to shield a killer.
According to newly filed documents, immediately after Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University, Zinn approached officers and began yelling:
“I shot him, now shoot me!”
Officers, unable to see a weapon, restrained him. Instead of helping law enforcement, Zinn repeatedly lied, claiming to be the shooter to give the real assassin time to escape. Police reported that when asked about the gun, he refused to answer. Later, he admitted his intent:
He “did it to draw attention from the real shooter” and was “glad he said he shot the individual so the real suspect could get away.”
This was not an act of confusion or misjudgment. It was a deliberate attempt to obstruct justice and aid a murderer in fleeing.
Zinn’s record makes clear that this is no harmless eccentric. He has a decades-long history of political disruptions, arrests for trespassing, and even a chilling 2013 threat referencing the Boston Marathon bombing, where he asked if Salt Lake City Marathon organizers “needed anybody to help place bombs near the finish line.”. More recently, prosecutors also uncovered disturbing evidence of child pornography on his phone, including images of children as young as five.
That a man with such a vile past would rush to defend Kirk’s killer is telling. It demonstrates the utter moral bankruptcy of individuals like Zinn who see political violence not as a horror but as an opportunity to “be a martyr.”
Zinn’s behavior was not just reprehensible. It was evil. His willingness to aid an assassin should serve as a warning: the threats against conservative leaders like Charlie Kirk are not just from lone gunmen but from a culture of lawless enablers eager to help them.
