No one was hurt during the Roblox Developers Conference, and the offending developer was arrested after allegedly fighting the police.
The arrested Roblox developer was later identified as Mikhail Jacob Olson, also known as Simbuilder. Per the Chronicle, Olson was taken in (and later charged) for having a concealed firearm in his vehicle, along with “possession of armor-piercing munition and a large capacity magazine activity.”
Fuck, the dude was ready to commit mass murder. Anyone got more details on him and/or why he might have wanted to kill people there?
No idea why he had the gun, but for context, California defines large capacity as anything more than 11 rounds, which makes many standard handgun magazines large capacity.

Are you familiar with roblox
Yes
and the controversy around it?
Do you know how little that narrows it down? There was also the controversy around them essentially exploiting free child labor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXlauRB1EQ
God that video (and the follow up to it) are infuriating and disgusting that such a company can continue to exist.

That really doesn’t do anything at all to explain why one of the devs would get arrested for brandishing(?) A handgun. Literally conveys no other information other than “Roblox devs bad”, same thing is true of the rest of this thread now that I think of it.
Like just going off the title, that could be describing a would-be mass murderer who got foiled as easily as it could be describing some guy who just forgot to take off his conceal carry and the wrong person realized before he did.
Not brandishing, the firearm was in his car.
The Chronicle has a little more, but it is unclear if there was an online threat or if he was just making a scene and then assaulted the officers: https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/roblox-arrest-gun-18358073.php
[…] some guy who just forgot to take off his conceal carry and the wrong person realized before he did.
That sounds so strange to an central european like me since the concept of being allowed to carry a firearm, concealed nonetheless, is so foreign to me. How could you forget you’re wearing a firearm? And if you are, should you really be allowed to. Taking a knive into a comvention is illegal so I always check my stuff before going in. Edit: Though I noticed too late that I have a small one with be before in my teens.
Anyway, I’d also like more details about the case.
I have to wonder what kind of ammo that is really, I’m a firearms enthusiast and have never seen armor piercing ammo for sale anywhere. Pretty sure it is illegal everywhere.
I’m curious what kind of firearm it was
Will you buy my painting?
