Thank you. It would be nice if news outlets did the same.

I just have this horrible thought that loving infowars type idiots are going to concoct some conspiracy false-flag nonsense and he will be the lightning rod for their poo poo.

Maybe I should be super sarcastic and jaded in this thread instead of concerned and that will show everyone how cool I am.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
Or maybe just be a little more realistic about information hygiene when all the primary sources the posts are citing still exist and have both names in the headline and URL.

We also have our own special kind of assholes running most radios in the city. FM 93.3 and Radio X all try to imitate trash radio from the US, and they've been known to talk poo poo about this mosque before. They'll probably be a little less overt for the next few days but then they'll latch onto a stupid conspiracy and try to sell it to all the conservative fucks who live in Quebec's suburbs.

Checking out the Freep thread I see that I'm correct and there's already a post there declaring it a false flag. Now that the only suspect is a white guy, "false flag" will become the official narrative in short order.

There were going to be 'false-flag' theories about this no matter who was arrested or named. Infowars types do this for every mass shooting that isn't by a jihadist.

To be fair, there's a collection of people out there - of diverse political beliefs - who reject any information that does not agree with their preconceived metanarrative. It seems every terrorist out there has his own legion of apologists and deniers.

Yeah, false flag claims are the ultimate drug for these people. You take an event that by rights should go against your worldview and flip it around so that it actually reinforces it. Attacks by Muslim extremists totally happened, attacks by right wing extremists are all false flags and thus actually perpetrated by liberals (who are allied to those Muslim extremists). Goodbye cognitive dissonance!

A member of a refugee welcome group recognized the shooter as an extreme right wing "troll" who frequented their facebook page:

quote:

François Deschamps, membre du comité Bienvenue aux réfugiés, créé il y a un an lors de l'arrivée massive de Syriens au Canada, a reconnu la photo d'Alexandre Bissonnette publiée par Le Soleil. «J'ai fait le saut quand je l'ai vu», lance-t-il au bout du fil.

«On observe beaucoup ce que font et disent les gens d'extrême droite. Lui, il a tenu des propos identitaires sur notre page Facebook. Il agissait comme un troll. Il s'attaquait aussi aux droits des femmes», se souvient M. Deschamps.

He's saying Alexandre was a troll who liked to cry about "feminazis" and immigrants on some facebook pages. This explains why in his Facebook likes there was a feminist page from Université Laval and then, strangely, lots of right wing politicians like Trump, Le Pen and Bush accompanied by pages against euthanasia, for the death penalty, or anti-immigration.

TVA's flagship TV announcer, Pierre Bruneau:

quote:

Un acte qui se fait contre une communauté musulmane chez nous, c'est quelque chose qu'on avait pas vu venir. On aurait pu imaginer le contraire, qu'une communauté musulmane, qu'un groupe extrémiste musulman commette un geste, mais que nous, quelqu'un d'une autre communauté attaque les musulmans c'est un terrorisme à l'envers si vous me permettez l'expression.

quote:

An act that goes against a muslim community here, that's something we didn't see coming. We could have imagined the opposite, that a muslim community, an extremist muslim group, might commit an act, but that we, someone from another community attacks muslims, that's reverse terrorism if you'll forgive the term.
