Interesting. New York AG James has announced her office is going to investigate the social media companies that the Buffalo shooter used to plan, promote, and stream his terror attack, Twitch, 4chan, 8chan, and Discord.

Should add Fox News and especially Tucker Carlson. Someones counted over 400 times he's pushed white replacement

What an utterly pointless investigation. May as well throw Meta in there too. James may also want to do his research first and find that 8chan doesn't exist.

And yet the founder Brennan called the rebranding to 8kun as pointless as everyone still knew it as 8chan, wouldn't change it's rputation and was for a long time a home for Qanon, conspiracy theorists, planners of trumps insurrection magamob...

Certainly needs investigating, whether it needs shutting down if it's a source of unencrypted idiots planning crimes is another matter.

The rebrand is obviously pointless as anyone performing a Google search for 8chan will see a Wiki page about the new name.

Shootings have also been livestreamed on Instagram and Facebook too.

When people are censored and cancelled from freedom of speech (there is probably a line in the sand to be drawn somewhere) it pushes people to different mediums away from the more mainstream ones and as those options get closed off it forces people into the darker depths of the internet and integrating with more unsavoury individuals.

How does that disprove what I posted?

He did live with a white supremacist in a house rented from another white supremacist.

It might be a coincidence but hate tends to find hate.

Its a different person.
He lived alone..
They are saying this was an isolated incident, but politically motivated..

But youre happier to believe a lie as it helps prove a point, and has already been amplifued on here. Not helpful

[ZedLeg]

No the article said he rented a room alone rather than live with family, not that he lived alone and the first article you posted had quotes from his housemate.

I’m happy to retract if I’ve made a mistake but I have looked into this and everything I’ve read matches up.

Another one from this weekend with connections to white supremacy.

I see people are still conflating this ideologically driven terrorism with America’s general issue with gun violence. This is part of the problem imo. People try and minimise the larger cultural issues behind one while moving the emphasis on to violence in communities that are largely poc. It’s all terrible, but not all shootings are the same.

Only thats wrong. The suspect is a us citizen emigrated from China

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/05/16/us/orange-count...

Its wrong to try and label every bad thing as right-wing. Its divisive. It fuels a very dangerous fire

ZedLeg said "white supremacist" and you went from that to "right-wing" in an eyeblink.

This is the sort of mass shooting that makes up those ridiculous counts, and are the real problem over the likes of the occasional international headline grabbers like Buffalo.

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/1-of-2-peopl...

9 shot, 2 of them dying. Downtown Chicago, wealthy area etc. Bunch of gangbanger hood rats terrorizing the city. Made local news because of the high profile location. But st like this happens all the time in the ghetto. But no one really cares, it barely gets reported, and it’s given a business as usual shrug.

That's the 11th mass shooting in Chicago this year so far. (Next up with 6 mass shootings a piece are Houston, Philadelphia and Baltimore.)

Total mass shootings so far this year: 202
Dead: 221
Injured: 790

Any info on the demographics involved? I know what all Chicago ones are, hence my “business as usual” classification of them.

That’s shocking that there is a league table for mass shootings.

Its been 'ignored' for a long time, but now the shootings are coming into my area rather than staying contained in the south and west, it's getting more air time. Lets not forget that Chicago has hundreds or people shot and killed every year, but now its spread to the 'wealthy' areas it's a "problem".

And it is a major problem because we have a Soros funded state prosecutor and woefully inept mayor that are more focused on removing police powers and releasing violent criminals onto the streets. We have 20+ people murdered this year by violent felons released on electronic monitoring.

Its not hyperbole, we live next to Soho House and a block away from Google and McDonalds head offices and a neighbor got bullets through their windows.

Now to even get into a public (tourist) park you have to go thru a metal detector, and even that's no guarantee from getting shot or involved in a gun fight.

You've only got to go back up a few posts to see mention of demographics and that shows why nothing will ever be done.

Black shooting or shootings don't count apparently.

I'm not convinced the demographics of the shooters/victims make any difference at all to the gun lobby in the US, do they?

I think his comment was in response to DVS_Dave's claims a large proportion of mass shootings are gangbangers going after eachother, and because this isn't quite the same as "lunatic indiscriminately shoots up shopping mall" doesn't count for some reason.

The demographics of legal gun owners has impacted how the gun lobby behaved in the past - the NRA supported gun control when the Black Panthers started legally carrying guns. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.history.com/.amp/...

Kids should've had guns of their own to defend themselves. What a joke of a "society".
