In reply to the discussion: Looks like shooter's roomate didn't know anything about the shooting, thought it was someone else [View all]joshcryer
(62,530 posts)59. I think the Discord messages are an alibi for the roommate.
There's no way that roommate didn't know about the engravings or had a discussion about it.
The first sentence shown is him speaking of his rifle as if the roommate knows what he is talking about.
Then the roommate pleads ignorance and he changes his tone completely. Essentially admitting to it. It comes off as a role play but it is very very real.
Then he mentions the rifle again, and again it is as if he expects the roommate to know about dumping it.
Then radio silence. And he turns himself in. For him the rifle is like the sheath the Moscow murderer left behind. His dad recognized it instantly and asked about "grandpa's rifle" which caused Robinson to fess up.

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
