When confronted by troopers, Highlander allegedly said “he only made the statements in these chats to be inflammatory” and that “he was ‘trolling’ and ‘rage baiting’ because he found it highly amusing,” according to the criminal complaint.

It’s just a joke bro

Sounds like they did find images as he was sharing them on discord and looking them up with discords AI (which I wasn’t aware was a thing), but when the police went to pick him up he used the old “I was only joking” defense.

Same approach used by right wing agitators.

“Just a joke bro…” “I’m just talking about fucking kids/supporting the KKK/discussing the positive sides of slavery… and supporting Trump… you know as a joke…”
