https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/27/us/poway-synagogue-shooting.html A man has been taken into custody in connection with a shooting at a synagogue in California on Saturday afternoon that resulted in injuries, the authorities said. The Poway Station of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said on Twitter that the shooting happened around 11:30 a.m. local time at the Chabad of Poway synagogue in Poway, Calif., about 25 miles north of San Diego. It said that there were injuries but that no additional details were immediately available. Derryl Acosta, a spokesman at Palomar Medical Center, said that the hospital’s trauma center in Escondido, Calif., was expecting at least one patient and that one to four additional patients might also be on the way. Walter Vandivort, who lives in the neighborhood of the synagogue, said he heard gunshots while he was indoors. He said he was unsure how many he heard. He described the neighborhood as a “peaceful, middle-class” area that had never seen this kind of violence in the decades he has lived there.

One person confirmed dead. Shooting at Poway synagogue leaves one dead, person detained for..
Clovis how the fuck do you think it's okay to perma ban older users than you for a fucking meme no matter how stupid. Like man that's fucking retarded, its people like you ruining facepunch.
I don't give a fuck if it's an older user, but a permaban for a dumb meme is absolutely not proportional punishment.
He's does this very often as well.
Should have been here in the 2005-2006 era. Bans were like shootings in the USA. Frequent and for next to nothing
I survived by just never posting.
Before we left oldpunch, I had a long and proud ban history.

Clearing it up - Zakk has a history of shitty tasteless posts in tragedy threads. https://i.imgur.com/A2sj499.png This is not the place to discuss bans. His ban is legit.
@Araknid Yes, I have read the manifesto and it was the same format, just shittier, and antisemitic instead of islamaphobic. Other info: He was fired upon by a person in the area (Unconfirmed aspects: person was off duty CPB agent, missing the shooter but striking his vehicle) causing him to flee and later surrender himself. He also defied or circumvented laws relating to age requirements and Assault Weapon restrictions.
Haha, gotta love that edgy, ironic chan shitposting. Ironically pretending to be racist while ironically telling racist jokes and ironically cheering people on while they ironically murder actual innocent people. Obviously normies just don't get the joke.
Why's everyone hating on clovis?
Ban lengths
Forum Discussion VII ???

4chan uses the same "lone wolf" excuse for murderers posting on the site that America does for domestic terrorists.
He gave up as soon as someone returned fire.
Good that these people were able to protect themselves.
So who're you an alt of?
Why haven't already these places closed down? Is because their servers are somewhere on an island or what? Can't the FBI or the Interpol take them down?
4chan and 8chan obviously have some very fucked up people on them but I don't think closing it down or putting all of its members on lists is going to help things. It'll probably make things worse. I also think most of the boards on the chans are probably less sociopathic, but then again, I've not been on either for fucking ages.
It's interesting to see how the culture of the chans have changed over the years, I remember people on there used to be sympathetic to Occupy Wallstreet and most people in general seemed to lean left, just with offensive and ironic humor. Even /pol/ used to originally just be people who ironically shitposted but I guess that kinda irony eventually attracted unironic nazis.
I'd wager it's because of its bad reputation that shit like this was allowed to happen in the first place. It starts off as a joke, but then idiots start thinking they're in good company.
To be fair you have to have a very high IQ to appreciate the humour in mass shootings, it's just a thing normies don't get.
Deplatforming works as we saw again and again. They will regroup, but most of them will not.
All of the boards I've seen were toxic or needlessly aggressive to some extent, much more so than FP or even reddit.
I knew that would be true, but FP is pretty chill compared to most forums I've been to. It's one of the reasons I really hope garry doesn't kill it because I don't know that there's anywhere with the same level of maturity. I don't think FP is that toxic or aggressive overall.
Putting everyone on a watchlist would be pointless but I do genuinely think it's far past the time for it to be shut down completely. The other boards can find a different community or make their own, instead of being one click away from a literal terror planning thread, small price to pay. The entire site has been radicalized and used as a recruiting ground for years, even Reddit is starting to get astro-turfed and subreddits are being taken over by the alt-right. At least reddit is taking steps to quarantine and shut them down though. The only reason I can think that it still stays up is that intelligence agencies can continue to monitor it, but if they're catching enough people before they can commit murders or terror attacks than the ones that commit them to justify its continued existence, they aren't telling anyone. It's like if instead of asinine shitposting and seizure gifs in OIFY there were people actively discussing and planning the most efficient way to enter a church and kill as many people as possible in 5 minutes and make a quick get away. Then every other month a member posts "Alright boys its been good, time to fight the good fight. Remember me." and then go and actually kill people. Garry got shit for just one member threatening Obama or something, how after all this time is 4chan/8chan still running?
