In reply to the discussion: Looks like shooter's roomate didn't know anything about the shooting, thought it was someone else [View all]WarGamer
(17,880 posts)1. This pretty much sums it up.
Robinsons mother explained that over the last year or so, Robinson had become more political and had started to lean more to the left becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented.She stated that Robinson began to date his roommate, a biological male who was transitioning genders. This resulted in several discussions with family members, but especially between Robinson and his father, who have very different political views. In one conversation before the shooting, Robinson mentioned that Charlie Kirk would be holding an event at UVU, whichRobinson said was a stupid venue for the event. Robinson accused Kirk of spreading hate.
As they discussed the situation, Robinson implied that he was the shooter and stated thathe couldnt go to jail and just wanted to end it. When asked why he did it, Robinson explained there is too much evil and the guy [Charlie Kirk] spreads too much hate. They talked aboutRobinson turning himself in and convinced Robinson to speak with a family friend who is a retired deputy sheriff. At Robinsons fathers request, the family friend met with Robinson and his parents and convinced Robinson to turn himself in.

Pretty much explains motive. Worse, it gives GOPers a bit more ammunition for their distorted view it's "radical left."

Well, they're not texting about silly stuff - they're talking about the gravest subject imaginable - capital murder. NT

That's a charging document. It was presented in court. It was obtained via subpoena from Discord.

It's on a direct message on the Discord app. At least that's what I first read.

I'm familiar with evidence rules and it is best to present as such during discovery.

I don"t know if it is me, but the dialogue between the two, sounds like it came from a 40's B Movie or a Hallmark movie

It's a court document, not a media thing. Obtained from Discord server via a subpoena
