Saw it on AgendaFreeTV, didn't think much about it.
Shootings aren't really all that interesting to me.

Edit: I hope everyone is ok.

Is it actually a mass shooting? It involved 3 different locations, so that's really more of a spree shooting (assuming that the same culprit was behind all three shootings, which isn't unreasonable)... oh, nvm, I guess 5 people were shot at one location so there was at least one mass shooting.

Otherwise it didn't happen very long ago and at an odd hour, so the fact there hasn't been a topic yet isn't "weird" (and, of course, there isn't a ton of information available just yet). What is kinda weird is how many tragedies don't get topics, since the board seems to be pretty agenda-specific when it comes to tragedies.

Depends on the incident. However, it's pretty telling that this board chooses to focus on some tragedies while outright ignoring others. Keep in mind that within the last month, over 300 schoolgirls were kidnapped by militants and the usual news people who post a topic whenever something awful happens that justifies their worldview didn't say a goddamn peep about it (well, unless somebody who blocked me did). At the same time we had multiple topics about Megan Markle getting pissy at the royal family.

How could they even tell? He's wearing a mask and what you can see of the face looks much older than he is in the photos.

Glancing through it was interesting, since it referenced a foiled far-left terrorist who I hadn't even heard of until now.

He's either making a joke or doesn't know I'm talking about Marjorie Taylor Greene, the psycho-bitch Rep. from GA, and not Magic the Gathering.

I figured it wasn't Magic, but I also didn't know what else it could be and was legitimately wondering if MtG had become a haven for right-wing nutjobs.

I am not surprised in the least it was a white dude.

Why a massage parlor though? Did he have beef with that place? Or did he go there because he knew asians would be there?

Either way, this is sickening.

It was 3 Asian massage parlors so chances are he was targeting Asians.

It was actually 3 massage parlors, which makes it even weirder.

Some people have been theorizing it's a combination of anti-Asian racism and "incel rage" against locations often stereotyped as brothels.

Two of the parlors were listed on an app to find brothels and sex workers.

I agree it appears anti-Asian and anti-sex worker.

There's a report out saying the shooter claimed he targeted these places not because they're Asian but because he is a sex addict. So it doesn't appear race-motivated, if that report holds up.

I don't know how he could possibly feel that murdering innocent people would cure his addiction. What an awful, tragic story.

Early 2000s internet was the best, when there was no Facebook or Twitter.
I wish they would just disappear tbh. But since they are so ingrained in our culture now I guess that just isn't a possibility :(

Who would know that? You're using the initials for the world's most famous CCG and referring to a bush league congresswoman. I'm familiar with Greene and even my mind didn't go there.
