Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

forgive me if this is a shit take, but if you are some radicalized alienated white guy why the fuck would you do this?

earlier this year a Healthcare ceo was murdered and the entire country celebrated it and called the shooter a hero, the murder drove actual political discorse, and this guy saw that and was like "i am going to be the 600th white male to shoot up innocent minorities and then post a manifesto about how I'm saving the country. this is what i am going to sacrifice my life for"

nobody is reading your manifesto dude. everyone knows whats in it, we read your manifesto when it was written by the last 8 people who mass murdered brown people

If any Minecrafters out there wanna make a name for themselves, there are plenty of good mining spots in the game. Don't waste your time staying local, go and find some worthy mining spots to make the world smile.

Well, Luigi probably overstated the skill involved, but finding the window where he could do the hit still involved a bit of legwork (when that person would be going to a meeting where). In this case, since there aren't CEOs of Islam (and the nearest equivalents aren't in Scotland), the only other option for a similar effect is killing a politician, and they tend to have security. The ~~would-be shooter~~ also surely just personally hate Muslims and wanted the satisfaction of murdering them.

Just a reminder to be clear though: Luigi isn't the shooter and the manifesto was almost definitely written by the cops.

The would-be shooter

would-be arsonist isn't it? says he had a pellet gun that looked like a real firearm to brandish.

It's worth noting this was in Scotland. Also this kid had apparently fallen into the fascist online content pipeline when he was 13. There is no "murder a CEO" pipeline for angsty young men
