So far, and this is all from what's being posted in the QCS thread and general chat

- the shooter posted extensively in the cspam mental health thread, blanked all their posts recently in august
- posted extensive in the coolzone, and was so unhinged and angry people thought he was a cop trying to bait people into violence
- people who complained were repeatedly dismissed by the mods (Crusty Nutshack?)
- posted extensively about how angry he was at his ex wife in E/N

also this is apparently him Koala's Marching his own shooting



from one of the threads now moved to the mod forum/hidden.

and currently an alarming number of people rushing to defend him using the exact same rhetoric the alt-right uses to defend it's shooters.

It’s funnier as a common noun. “I hope I don’t run into any draculas,” for example.

Manos The Hands of Fate restoration is some absolutely positive vibe goon saga stuff.

the horror movie thread had a character that would talk about his penis and refer to it as his "horror hog" all the time too but that was less feel-good

people keep saying this is a legal matter but I think they're wildly overestimating things. the whole crime is on video, nobody died, the legal aspect of this seems pretty cut and dry. nobody is going to give a poo poo about something awful outside of "wow he made some troubling posts". even andy ngo makes cspam look sane by saying he got banned from it for being Too Radical, because nobody understands what a toxx is

there's not gonna be a "is this site fomenting terrorism???" angle on this outside of qcs, really

Honestly I think it'll just die out on its own until the trial starts or whatever - then you might want to. There really isn't a ton to discuss there aside from weird gun violence debates that don't belong here.

by this logic there should be no posts in thread thread other than "a saga happened, here is a link"

and this may be one of the least hostile and weird gun violence debates I have seen, tbh

The admins are letting all those posters saying "the goon who wildly shot into the crowd did nothing wrong" post with no consequences because they're letting this serve as a honeypot to gather all the worst posters in one place, right?

If it was gathering relevant or interesting posts/information about the situation it wouldn't be as annoying but this thread becoming an identical slapfest to the one in QCS is dumb. Its like 1 post of interesting info for every 60 posts of pointless argument

I dunno. I've got no dog in this fight either way aside from "hey let's not advocate shooting people with guns please" so whatever works for the thread that doesn't turn it into an eternal shitfest is fine by me (turn on you monitor).

I think the eternal shitfest is why we have to lock and start a new one anytime there is a big storm. clean breaks are important.

As far as dogs in the fight, I avoid cspam, and put it in the same mental category as fyad, so I am finding this entertaining :munch:

I like reading FYAD but I only post there if I have something particularly funny to contribute - so like, almost never. CSPAM is just tedious.
