Those text messages have made everyone following Kirk's death a conspiracy theorist. Everyone.

[Rustynaerduwell]

"Nobody's buying any of this" has been said by everyone from Steve Bannon to Cenk Uiger. And I really don't know what to think anymore. Well, I'll tell you. I read all the texts available. I bought it. Sounded ligit. The guy text confessed to his lover. Cut. And. Dried.

And then I watched my usual political channels on YouTube, on all sides on the political spectrum. None of them are "buying this".

The texts are too conversational. with complete sentences dominating. Weird especially for a 'terminally online' 22 yr old.

The confession is too complete, giving Prosecutors everything they need to convict. An added bonus is letting everyone know his father is super-pro-MAGA, as if Robinson's yearlong live in lover wasn't well aware of that all ready.

There are no timestamps provided, hinting that Robinson had knowledge of things going on that he couldn't have had.

I don't know the truth. I don't know what to think. If the whole country feels this way, I only fear that so many - including me- are ripe for manipulation. And they are better at that.

1. Could they compare it to other texts and writings of his ?

to see how similar they are ?

[Walleye]

2. That's what they would do if they were being honest, which they are not, I believe

[intheflow]

6. "They" could, but they won't.

Consider who has access to the notes and who would be able to compare writing styles. Neither Cox nor Patel are going to compare anything.

3. Back in the Vietnam era, we used to say, don't believe anything until it's been officially denied

Now they insult us by not even bothering to try and deny their wrongdoing. “Take that! In your face!”is what they tell us.

4. Is there a link to what's contained in them?

I've not read them

And you said "his lover", does he call the roommate "sweetie" and such? And does he ask his roomie to come and get the gun he stashed? That would explain why he bothered to move the gun from the rooftop to the bushes.

Seems likely to me that he went into it knowing that he would be caught because it seems like he had no get away plan. It's funny looking back how many people were positive this was some trained killer, talking about distractions and a team. Hell I fell into that thinking as well, thought it might be a Mangione type.

7. I haven't seen them, either. But I'd want a lot of context, older messages, to compare them to, and I

wouldn't trust Patel and the rest of the thugocracy to be honest about anything.

5. It's difficult to determine emotions/meaning behind texts read personally or by some old monotone investigator.

Sure, those texts could have been altered. But, I doubt anyone "doctored" the emails/texts. If they had, they would have gone out of the way to blame Democrats, probably would have added they found plans to kill other GOPers and trump, etc.

Plus, doctoring records that might be somewhere else in its pure form is the fastest way to be discredited, ask doctors in malpractice lawsuits who try to change documentation when several entities have various versions.

Honestly, does anyone really know the appropriate words after shooting someone, or learning that your partner killed someone and will likely spend the rest of their life in jail.

9. I've read the texts made available and I'm suspicious.

I’m fairly precise in my text messages, but I’m also 67 years old and set in my ways, so I rarely use texting shorthand and I always use punctuation and proper grammar. I also have young relatives that I regularly communicate with and my experience with their communication is that even among the highly educated among them, they do not follow the same conventions that I do, so there’s that.

Texting style aside, it just strains credulity that such a perfect “confession” like that would be made via a series of text exchanges in the heat of a manhunt. Now couple those two concepts together with the documented history of gaslighting and misinformation coming from the Trump regime, and their absolute co-opting of this event to frame it as a leftist agenda event in order to enrage their base, it just doesn’t pas the smell test in my opinion.

11. An extremist cleric was killed by a radical white male

I don't think the texts will change that. Maybe it will... but I doubt it.

13. On Reddit, people question where are his 'liberal' forum connections? Non-existent.

He spent time with gamers.
Liberals? Gays? Log cabin republicans?

Government is grasping at straws. I see no reason to believe anything from a collection of liars.

They have the power to implicate associates and family members if they don’t play along with the narrative.

14. I think it's safest to treat everything with a healthy skepticism. We are not dealing with honest brokers.
