Here's a scenario that they are going to pull?

The prosecutor has brought the death penalty for Robinson in Utah. I’m wondering if they take the death penalty off the table as long as Robinson says that he’s a left extremist? This will give the right their chance of starting a war against the left?

Hell, they gave Maxwell a way to get a pardon!!

I'm with you, there may be a bit of Left vs. Right in Robinson's actions, but mental health issues and guns are key. Silent Type Sep 2025 #6

Not the federal government. We’ll soon see whether rumpco puts pressure on prosecutors in Colorado.

I imagine his only bargaining chip to avoid execution would be—as you point out—a willingness to say whatever prosecutors want him to say.

Whether Robinson is left, right, or a troll of some sort, I find the lack of discussion about mental health more than a bit disturbing. People with sound mental health don’t typically kill people they don’t even know.
