How did the player break the rule(s)?  (300 words maximum)

I was at sea labs, picking plants, and doing bit of cooking. I had no weapons but a crowbar on me. ID 101 and 58 came into the lab, I found it a bit odd looking back at my POV that the 2 would follow each other around and not say a word to each other, stand/sit next to one another for a bit just completely silent. (I'm not 100% sure if they were MG, just wanted it looked into as it seemed odd). So I decided to get what I had left and leave the lab. They got off their bikes and just stood near me silently for a while, I tried to make conversation, be friendly or RP but wouldn't get much response. I went into the barn to pick up what I was cooking, turned around and the 2 just started stabbing me. If they attempted some sort of RP or escalation along with it, fair game, but they just ran up and started stabbing me. I asked them both to please save footage and why. After the situation, I PM'ed both to confirm, 101 had logged off and 58 responded with "ok", so I am assuming at least 58 has his footage.  

Evidence of rule breach

Footage will be provided to staff members handling the report as it contains staff chat.

Hello, I am Logan Hallow in this report. I remember this clearly, and I would like to start off by saying, I did not lay a hand on Rose Drake. I was simply a witness to what Jake States did. I was following him as he was going to show me how to get some money from drugs, and I did not say much because I was unsure of what was going on. I do not believe my name should even be mentioned in this report as I did nothing wrong. Thanks.

Hello I am the character Jake States and I have no connections with Logan. I had just met him and he was new to the drug business so he didn't know what to really do and I assume he was quiet because he didn't know what to do. The suspect said we didn't respond much but I believe I asked more questions and started most of the conversations. The reason I killed her is because I believe that I had past beef with her in the city in past times and I told her to hand over the marijuana seeds and she ran towards the barn so I started to chase her and pulled out my knife to stab her incase she was calling in back up or something because she said she was in a gang previously when I asked her if she was in a gang, and this proves that I asked some questions. I thought she was running to the barn because she was scared so I acted upon that and went to attack her. I was not able to clip my gameplay.

@shock You can be seen attacking her alongside Jake States, please provide an honest statement.

@shvrs Was it not obvious that she wasn't calling backup due to the fact that you saw her picking up drugs and entering the crafting menu immediately after entering the barn?

[shvrs]

Well I told her to put her hands up and she ran away so I thought she might be calling in back up or trying to get her stuff from the table and run. I reacted fast because I didn't want to get involved with her gang and have beef with a bigger gang within the city. She gave me details about the gang previous the attack and how they were very well known and did a lot of races, so my first though was while she was running she was getting back up then I thought she was going to the table to get her stuff and run so I acted upon that and did what I did.

[shock]

Can I please see the footage of rose drake POV. I am pretty certain that I hit little to none and I do not clip my POV because I don't record my gameplay. I would like to see just to make sure since you guys are saying I did.

[jason]

Apologies for the weird camera angle as I was keeping staff chat out of the small clip, but as you can see, you're both attacking her. In fact, you're the one that issues the killing blow to her, Logan.
