Alright. I won't pretend that I don't like a good conspiracy theory, but at first glance I thought this killing was pretty cut and dried. "Whacko leftist extremist makes a lucky shot" made perfect sense. However... After looking at the whole official story closer, a lot of what they're telling us about the technical aspects makes no sense.
They're saying that Robinson walked to his position with the rifle disassembled in his pants. They're saying he assembled the rifle, made the shot and then disassembled the firearm again. He jumped off the roof (with no rifle in his hand) and RAN away. (How do you run with a rifle in your pants?)
The next stage of the story is that he reassembled the rifle (even though he left the screwdriver he supposedly disassembled it with on the roof) and left the rifle in the woods, in a box, and wrapped in a towel.
Now. I am an expert in small arms, and a gunsmith. They are claiming that he removed the barrel from a Mauser 98 action with a screwdriver. That is IMPOSSIBLE. He could have removed the complete barreled action from the stock, but even those two pieces would be very bulky and almost impossible to smuggle in your pants, and you damn sure couldn't run that way. And why reassemble the rifle (without the tool he left behind on the roof) simply to dump it?
I don't know exactly what's going on, but the official account of what happened REEKS.
