Miami, FL – September 14, 2025
The father of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has made a stunning decision that is drawing national attention. Days after turning in his own son, he announced he will donate the entire $1.15 million reward to Kirk’s family.
The bounty, which began at $100,000 from the FBI, quickly grew as political figures added contributions. Billionaire investor Bill Ackman pledged $1 million, pushing the total to $1.15 million by the time Robinson was captured. Authorities later confirmed the father was eligible for the payout since his tip directly led to his son’s arrest.
In an emotional statement, he said he would not keep a cent. “This is what a father is supposed to do. My son wronged the Kirk family, and it’s my responsibility to help him face that mistake. The money is enormous, but it’s not meant for me. I want it to go to the Kirk family instead.”
His words drew widespread praise across social media, with many calling the decision an act of courage, humility, and a rare gesture of compassion in the aftermath of tragedy. Some described it as a remarkable attempt to bring healing after an unthinkable loss.
FBI officials confirmed that the logistics of transferring the funds will be coordinated in the coming weeks. Legal experts noted that while unprecedented, the move could stand as long as all parties agree.
Ackman reaffirmed his commitment to the reward and applauded the father’s choice. “I always keep my word. If the family wishes to give the reward to the Kirks, I will honor that. It speaks volumes about his integrity.”
The extraordinary decision underscores a father’s painful effort to reconcile justice, responsibility, and humanity amid one of the most shocking political assassinations in recent memory.
Cowboys Star Pass Rusher 3-Time Pro Bowl to Make Explosive Debut Sunday vs Bears

Arlington, TX – September 15, 2025
The Dallas Cowboys are preparing to showcase a new defensive weapon this weekend, with veteran pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney saying he fully expects to make his debut Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
Clowney, signed recently by Dallas, did not participate in offseason workouts, training camp, or preseason action. Despite the lack of reps, the three-time Pro Bowler believes his conditioning and experience will allow him to contribute immediately.
The 32-year-old compared his current situation to 2020, when he joined the Tennessee Titans late and still managed to play right away. He expressed confidence the transition will not hinder his readiness for Sunday.
Clowney will join the Cowboys for his first official practice on Wednesday. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer told reporters the team is keeping all options open and would not rule out Clowney suiting up this weekend.
Dallas turned to Clowney after trading superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. While some see him as a direct replacement, Clowney stressed he intends to play his own style within the Cowboys’ scheme.
“I’m not here to be anyone else,” Clowney said. “I’m here to play my game, rush the passer, and help this team win. That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do.”
Last season with the Carolina Panthers, Clowney posted 5.5 sacks while playing in all 17 games. His veteran presence and versatility are viewed as crucial for a Dallas defense adjusting to life without Parsons.
Ultimately, Sunday could mark the beginning of an important new chapter for Clowney. For the Cowboys, his debut represents not just added firepower, but also a statement that the team remains determined to chase NFC supremacy.
