We were warned!

'The El Paso attack will mark the third mass shooting in less than six months that was announced in advance on the message board. The first targeted Muslims, the second Jews, and the third appears to have been aimed at killing Latinos.' https://t.co/E0r6EQG7nm

Oh look you finally feel guilt.

Congrats.

How about donating some of the money you made keeping it up helping groups ALREADY WORKING TO STOP HATE ONLINE AND WHEN IT ENEVITABLY SPILLS INTO REAL LIFE.https://t.co/4kCKjNjr3p pic.twitter.com/OZgyJLsrM4

This weekend's violence marks at least the 32nd fatal shooting with three or more victims in the US, this year alone. We are heartbroken, & need to find a way forward to stop the cycle of violence. Our thoughts are with all of the victims & their families. https://t.co/XtLjQoCXpY

A week of bloodshed underscores a spate of mass shootings by white males. Meanwhile, the #GOP offers thoughts and prayers sprinkled with a hug here and there holding their bloody hands wide open for more dirty #NRA money donations. #GunControlNow https://t.co/Ez60APlfT3

미국에서 총격사건이 일어나는 빈도로 테러가 일어난다면 미국은 세계 3차 대전도 일으킬 수 있을텐데. 국내 총기규제는 못한다는 아이러니.https://t.co/MaxoC58rG2

Our deepest sympathy to the families of victims of a horrific massacre in El Paso and another mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio mere hours later. We salute those caring for survivors. Gun violence is a national public health emergency. Enough is enough! https://t.co/HtXjddWAbg

“The most important takeaways from the El Paso shooting are twofold:

8chan’s /pol board continues to deliberately radicalize mass shooters.
The act of massacring innocents has been gamified.” https://t.co/qvMrOKJZi8

“What we see here is evidence of the only real innovation 8chan has brought to global terrorism: the gamification of mass violence. We see this not just in the references to “high scores”, but in the very way the Christchurch shooting was carried out” https://t.co/p26ii30lHb

Time to start treating white nationalism as the same level of national security threat as Islamic radicalization/extremism and applying all the same tools to counter it: https://t.co/PSd2WVtV5m pic.twitter.com/M0NegWjCtm

Great @bellingcat article about how imageboards like 8chan, specifically, 'gamify' terror. (ht @Spoonhead8) https://t.co/f7eQxdsMOT

Massive content warnings, but this piece explains how calling white supremacist terrorists "lone wolves" is inaccurate. There's a whole online community that radicalizes and even gamifies these shootings. They call shooters martyrs. It's terrorism.https://t.co/GRQaLu9Qoa
