Literally. the fact that nobody talks about the school shooting that happened IN THE EXACT SAME DAY, is maddening af.
My prediction is that those who would normally seek the infamy that school shooters used to receive will see the amount of attention people have given this case and the healthcare CEO's murder and murdering public figures will become the new trend.
Yep there's a whole underground movement of people that are basically pro-school shooting online. They consider themselves part of the lineage that started with the Columbine shooters. It's sick shit, but nobody has done a damned thing to tamper down on it and like other fringe groups they've found each other online and are networking.
Media coverage about school shooters became somewhat better in that they at least don't get into every seedy detail about the lives of the killers, but this other type of killer has been seeing a different type of coverage entirely. It stands to reason that they'll start to see this as the better path toward infamy.
I was reading about those groups and they seem to be an intentional project by neonazis more than a genuine underground movement. The movement is actually a front for drawing in and weaponizing people, mostly lonely and depressed children.
Trying to trigger a race war? Could be.
Edit: their stupid little race war which never happens because most people aren't as racist as they are
This doesn't surprise me. I spent time on 4chan years ago and saw some extremely disturbing opinions and conversations. I could definitely see how mentally disturbed individuals could find each other in forums or channels and start an underground movement. I've always thought that these types of online movements were psyop campaigns either by Russia or another foreign country to cause American unrest.
I'll take it.
Trolley problem right here. I want to save the group of kids, every time.
So, finally some good news.
There's some Lemmy commenters who say "Well Kirk was a big deal where we get school shootings every day" and it's fucking maddening.
Well that’s exactly why this is getting so much attention.
