According to the news this morning, she was a YouTuber and claimed her videos were being filtered and discriminating against her.

Stupid to let it happen really, everyone at YouTube should have been issued with a gun, that would have stopped this 100%.

I was only half joking. Quite a few shootings of these types are carried out because the shooter has a grudge against the organisation and/or its employees.

Shocking, she looks like such a normal, down to earth looking person as well. Not a hint of utter mental about her.

But but but she has a muslim sounding name, and isn't very white, therefore this has to be terrorism related!

That's how it works isn't it?

To be fair, you are the only person I've heard say that.

So she's a vegan and therefore completely against killing animals but fine with killing humans (or at least attempting too). Makes perfect sense, if you're a complete nutter.

yes

Closest possible link to extremism was that she was reported as an animal rights activist.

Give it time. The debate is still building so I'm sure somebody will think it's a serious point and totally justifies the Iran sanctions, travel bans and wall building etc.

I don't think I can justify it, but I'm sure one of the usual US news channels will.

(It was a joke.... Like a kitten, the fun ends when you pull it apart to explain how it works)

It's "jokes" like that that start the debate down an irrelevant and possibly thread closing route.

The lady obviously had mental health issues (as do quite a few people who are keen to portray their lives over the internet ). And, although someone mentioned that her love of animals would make her shooting of humans contradictory, I would say the opposite. Many people who are very keen on animal rights (as she was) also have a very low opinion of their fellow humans.

How many times have you heard someone say they prefer their dog to any human?

This was apparently caused by the changes to the t&c's a month or so back which took the number of subscribers you needed to monetise a channel to 1000.
Tbh I feel sorry for the people injured but it was only a matter of time before a disgruntled 'creator' took things into their own hands.
