Still waiting

Okay here we go

Governor Cox is first up

Confirming that family member reached out to family friend. 

[Added later]

“On the evening of September 11th, a family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff’s Office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident.” “This information was relayed to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office and scene investigators at Utah Valley University.” “This information was also conveyed to the FBI.”

Got additional footage that confirmed video when he 

Robinson become more political in recent years. He had come to dinner and talked about Kirk, that Kirk was 'spreading hate.' 

An individual who was Robinson's roommate showed them Discord messages Robinson had sent him after the shooting.

Those included a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop-point, and watching a rifle where it was left, as well as engraved bullets. The Robinson contact also said that Robinson had said he had changed outfits.

********************************************************************

Beege ADDS: Just heard another tidbit concerning the roommates who gave up the discord messages about the rifle to the FBI - that the authorities will be looking at them as 'percipient witnesses' a phrase I'd never heard before. According to Google, that means:  Unlike typical lay witnesses who only provide factual observations, a participant witness can offer both firsthand accounts of events and expert opinions based on their professional knowledge

********************************************************************

YOW

Gov going thru rifle now. Inscriptions on fired 'Hey! Facist! Catch:'

More like that was sick gibberish on the unfired casings.

Gov thanking law enforcement, the public and the family members of Tyler Robinson. Thanking Kirk's family and wants everyone to think of them.

Now Kash - this is what happens when you let good cops be cops.

Kash is going through a timeline after thanking local law enforcement. And when they authorized the various info releases

Suspect taken into custody at 10pm local. That's why 'we went so public so fast, so transparently' 

Evidence is already being processed at FBI HQ in Quantico

Over 11K leads to FBI

Sheriff Mike Smith now

Thanks for a vast fast-paced investigation

Meanwhile they're showing booking photos that I guess just got released.

Got a live feed finally 

Beege Notes:  I've updated this with the Reuters feed of the conference, replacing the live feed I found while I was trying to transcribe the thing at the same time. The conference was so delayed, you have to advance this video to the 1:14:00 mark before Patel, Cox and the rest come out to speak.

This is what I couldn't type fast enough to catch when they were talking about the engraved inscriptions. This kid is a psycho.

Gov Cox is having an emotional moment, and I can understand. Charlie Kirk was close to all of them, none of them have slept and they are all absolutely fried.

He's making the point right now, after a long talk, about how they've handled it. No riots, no violence, no arson.

But with vigils and memorials.

'Every single one of us gets to choose right now if this is a turning point for us...follow what Charlie taught us'

Hope is the virtue that sits between the vices of optimism and pessimism.

And now questions.

So, they do not anticipate any more arrests at this time, so I am assuming that the roommates Robinson had contacted over Discord to get the rifle did nothing but show the FBI all of the messages and cooperated fully, and was NOT part of a conspiracy. As I said in the comments earlier, there's a difference between being an active part of a conspiracy and being asked for help afterward, and that's what it appears to be.

Okay more on the bullet casings:

..."⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️" - the calldown code for the 500kg bomb in the game Helldivers 2

"Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao ciao ciao" - song of the Italian antifascist resistance

"If you read this, ur gay, lmao"

And he was NOT a student at the school, but lived a couple of hundred miles away. 

Andy Ngo has decoded some of the casing gibberish.

ANTIFA

The arrows are apparently something from a game called Helldivers

500kg Bomb ↑ → ↓↓↓

This is going to send the Left over the edge. 

The Antifa stormtroops they've coddled and enabled? The ones the Democrats have always patted on the head because they're ANTI-fascists, you know, so obviously we're the problem?

We all know who the problem is.


I'll just leave this here.
