According to the FBI, a Texas man talked about killing christians on Roblox and searched for ‘are suicide attacks haram in islam’ on his iPhone.

Roblox gave authorities Crazz3pain’s email address, name, physical address, and IP address and it all pointed back to James Wesley Burger. The FBI searched Burger’s home on February 28 and discovered that someone in his family had put on a keylogger on the laptop he used to play Roblox and that they’d captured a lot of what he’d been typing while playing the game. They turned over the records to the feds.

Arresting terrorists off Roblox??? Bad move fr, if they keep this up the only ones online for the kids to play with will be the pedophiles

Sounds like a generally fucked up family.

I'm more floored that a grown man plays Roblox. Minecraft, I would get. Roblox? No.

I'm 47. I don't play Minecraft often but I find it a relaxing game. I never really build anything I just like digging and exploring caves

My first reaction was "an army of middle school boys?"

So this family member had all the logs and decided not to go to the authorities at all?
