There is a MASSIVE misinformation campaign being conducted claiming high quality video was shown proving Tyler Robinson took the shot.
It’s completely false. Brandi was in the courtroom.
@JackPosobiec Questions @JackPosobiec ...is the public to believe you or the prosecution, who in open court, admitted there was no video of the shooting? Is the public to believe you or the official court transcript that states both videos were the same? We already know the truth.
You're correct to flag that. In court this week, a witness testified under oath: "Is there any footage of the alleged shooting from the roof?" Answer: "There is not, Judge."
Prosecutors *have* shown campus surveillance of Robinson's movements that day—including him accessing a rooftop perch area before the shooting and fleeing after. But no video captures the actual trigger pull.
The claim of footage "showing him TAKING THE SHOT" overstates what's been presented so far. Preliminary hearing wraps with decision expected after Sept 1 arguments.
I was in the courtroom today. There is no high-quality, zoomed-in footage showing anyone taking a shot. The video shown is the same distance as the footage of “Tyler” jumping off the roof shown in this screen shot.
I have no idea why people are claiming otherwise. They know the video isn’t going to be released publicly, so they’re misrepresenting what was actually shown in court.
@Liz_Wheeler You are LYING!!! Testimony was given on Day 1 that no such video exists. All of us that watched the hearing know what we heard and seen. It is THIS that leaves me with no doubt that Tyler is innocent. You just LOST the case of public opinion and made TPUSA look really bad.
@XAVIAERD@IanCarrollShow@XAVIAERD Absolute LIE!. Testimony was given on Day 1 that there was NO video showing anyone shooting. The family viewed the EXACT same video that was previously played in the courtroom. I was having doubts that Tyler was innocent until I saw this garbage.
@GrahamAllen The video shown to the family was the same exact video shown on Day 2. I have watched the WHOLE hearing and NEVER ONCE heard that the video was zoomed. The family's lawyer just requested to see the same video that the court had. Nice try.
@NihiloX@AndrewKolvet Because he knew he was going to get a community note because even Grok is saying the video doesn't exist. There was no way for him to lie without getting caught this time. Just sayin.
A thought experiment:
What if Tyler Robinson was merely participating in a LARP game?
In Lance’s testimony today, he explained that he and Tyler had been online friends for years before ever meeting in person. He said Tyler loved playing games. News articles corroborate this, describing their shared apartment as a gathering place for people to play Magic The Gathering.
Lance stated that Tyler’s friend group was a Dungeons and Dragons online group that played together every week. Lance did not personally know who made up the group. Its members went by anonymous Discord usernames such as “Marina DM”(Dungeon Master) and “Jug Barnaby.” It was in a group chat on this server that the first alleged messages from Tyler appeared.
The day of the shooting, what if Tyler set out with props in tow to simply take part in a LARP? Suspend your disbelief here.
When Tyler was not on camera in the parking garage, he could have been out meeting with other players or taking part in quests set by his anon game organizer.
“Take this package to the trader at the old mill.”
“Meet Contact Bravo at 2:00 p.m.”
“Retrieve the medical supplies from another faction.”
“Don’t let anyone know you’re working for us.”
Common LARP instructions.
At one point in the game, he could have been “shot” in the leg.
In many LARPs, If your character is wounded, you have to seek out another player who acts as a medic, healer, or surgeon. They perform a treatment according to the game’s rules, which might involve bandaging, using “magic,” or waiting a set amount of time.
Until then, you’re expected to continue portraying the injury (such as limping or not using an arm).
For example, the rules of Sunfall LARP state: “If you are hit in the leg, you will walk with a limp until your limb has healed properly… your limb needs medical attention before you can use it again.”
Four Pillars LARP rules say that if a leg is reduced to zero hit points: “The player can only use the working leg to move…” and the injured limb cannot be used again “until healed by surgery or magic.”
My first thought when I saw the person believed to be Tyler limping was that he was playing a game. The acting was bad. The limp switched legs. It clearly wasn’t a real injury. Why was the immediate conclusion that he was harboring a rifle in his pants?
Objectives in LARP games often require players to also carry props like one would in a video game like bags, letters, scrolls, etc. Players then have to meet other players in designated locations to exchange those props or complete a mission.
How do we know the rifle wasn’t such a prop? Or the screwdriver? Or the backpacks? How do we know he wasn’t instructed by his Game Master to drop his props off in the woods or on a roof?
If it was even him on the roof, how do we know he wasn’t simply instructed to act up there “shooting back” at other players?
Tyler lived a life surrounded by games, role playing and anon friends online. Why would this situation be any different?
If a group wanted a patsy, why would they not seek out a game obsessed mid-20 year old who would have no problem following instructions given to him by anonymous people?
Imagine the terror one would then feel if they saw on the news that their game prop had been used to commit a murder. Would you not go to the police?
If you read this and immediately thought, “That’s ridiculous,” ask yourself why.
Is it because the evidence rules it out?
Or is it because you’ve already assigned one meaning to a series of ambiguous observations?
A person appearing to limp isn’t, by itself, proof of why they’re limping. A person possessing or leaving behind an object isn’t, by itself, proof of why they possessed or left it.
My point isn’t that this hypothetical is true. My point is that ambiguous observations require interpretation.
Why is everyone assigning only one meaning, and an incriminating one at that, to Tyler’s very ambiguous actions?
This is very concerning.
The medical examiner, who is not being called in this hearing, pulled 7 fragments out of Charlie Kirk.
ATF only received 4.
And there doesn’t seem to be much concern about why it wasn’t 7.
If you can make 3 disappear, you can absolutely replace 7 with 4.
