    I live in a neighborhood with a bunch of Muslims and I have never seen one wearing a shirt like that (did see one with a “My name causes security alerts at airports what does yours do?” shirt that was funny). That’s tacky evangelical shit, screams “what would Muslims wear? Ah of course, the Islamic version of our stuff” by whomever planted this.

    This was actually a super high profile shooting, i dont think the police had time to plant anything on this guy. America is a shitty xenophobic country and so we get lashed out at in return, i dont find it hard to believe that a guy out there would do something like this.

      super high profile shooting

      2 deaths and 14 injuries

      isn’t that just like a regular tuesday in america? like the kind of low-scale mass shooting that happens multiple times a day?

          idk, it feels kind of flippant and dismissive to just uncritically declare this as some sort of false flag operation. people are driven to extreme actions against society because american society itself is completely barbaric.

          calling this a false flag is just a thought terminating cliche that stops us from critically analyzing how to stop these things from happening. The “Oh whoopdeedoo, another mass shooting, prbably a false flag, moving on” mentality is just proof of how awful the degree of normalization of violence in america is.

          Not writing this to call anyone out in particular, but I think we could be doing a better job of interpreting these awful sorts of events. but also this is an internet shitposting forum, so who cares i suppose
