Today's shooting in America thread

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

I never trust these stories. Journalists comb through years of social media and attempt to present a caricature of a person that fits neatly into a box that people can outrage at. With modern social media, you can pretty much make somebody look however you want.

Although what you say is true in some cases - this isn't one of those cases. Based on the rather extensive selection of Instagram and Twitter posts provided in the article, I rather doubt that the picture painted is false.

I have Style Council references but anti modern labour party quotes on mine, not quite so high brow but equally confusing. I do have psycological problems but no access to firearms so shops advertising sweet baked goods as muffins are safe...for now
