Man in custody in synagogue shooting near San Diego

Deplatforming can work purely because it forces people to regroup. It's not easy to plan terrorist attacks when you're still trying to get in contact with your would be coconspirators.
As much as I love being le epic anonymoose, people will continually miss the disclaimer on 4chan. Concern trolling and false flagging are ubiquitous. There is no way to tell when someone is being disingenuous and you can say a lot of shit and be taken at face value.
I would call it a russian troll farm in plain sight but there's actual people who get their discourse from there and I think it is fucking sad
Btw guys, this happened literally down my street. I pass this Synagogue everyday on the way to work. All I can say is this area is very progressive and peaceful, many Jews have migrated specifically to this area just so they can walk to temple on Saturdays for worship. It is an orthodox (strict) temple, but some of the nicest people. I actually met the Rabbi there when I was younger. Very welcoming and friendly person.
I was trying to explain to my mom how the shooter who is so young could get into this evil mindset and the best way I could explain it to her was that he was part of online communities that brainwash people with racist propaganda. She thought I was talking about Facebook or YouTube. It's difficult to describe these message board websites to people who don't know about them. Especially when they mask it all with "memes". I think its become a bit of an epidemic.
shut down the_donald, /pol/, and 8chan.
nobody, even on 4chan, would miss /pol/ if it was deleted. most people on 4chan hate /pol/ users, they've been nothing but garbage and a septic influence on the rest of the site ever since the board was re-added
Yeah as much as I like occasionally stopping by 4chan to lurk or shitpost (I've unfortunately been a frequent user since about 2010, these days I've slowed down a lot though) I think it would be best if the place was just shut down entirely. Sure all the knobheads would just find new communities or start a new 4chan but it would be a balkanized clusterfuck of different communities competing with each other to be the next 4chan. If 8chan was any indication, 4chan doesn't really handle mass migration that gracefully.
I still have fond memories associated with the site but at this point it's getting too risky for it to exist. /pol/ has truly ruined the fun for everyone.
I, for one, am glad this annoying cunt is gone. His constant bitching about pitbulls was borderline tiring.
tbh as a Jewish person this pretty much proves that at this point, Jews and other threatened minorities need to arm themselves because clearly the government isnt doing enough. The gunman here was frightened off by someone at the synagogue that had a gun because he was too much of a coward to get into an actual firefight and if it hadn't been for that gunman, it's very likely that there would have been many more deaths.
dude i remember when it was image macros/memes, Habbo hotel raids, pissing off Scientologists, and /b/ shitting up other boards with goatse and that was about it, wtf happened?
i've also not been there since like 2007
Also get twitter to roll out their anti white supremacist algorithm.
Funnily enough the pol types are actually supporting scientology now too, because the cult is pro-Trump.
Atrocious mismanagement. Moot was incompetent and Hiro is malicious. It was basically up to the mods to run the place properly and few actually did, especially post-2015. Even if the mods were
competent, Moot kept making things worse for them by making containment board after containment board and splitting boards that didn't need to be split.
/pol/ ruined 4chan, especially after all the actual nazi's started to flood it in 2015/2016.
I'm starting to think 'irony poisoning' is also a proper thing, and people legitimately meme so hard they start to belive it.
Ironic or not, the fact that this guy could only come up with like 9 songs for his ultimate worldly sacrifice mixtape and given that one one them is the fucking Pokemon theme song kind of lends one to believe that his entire world must have been very, very small and fragile.
Yeah I think the worst part about this is that he was trying to be a copycat shooter of both Christchurch mosque and the Tree of Life synagogue shootings even so far as posting a "I'll miss you guys" post on 8chan and attempting to post a manifesto.
probably for not being in America? I'm pretty sure 8chan isn't, not sure about 4.
A friend linked me to this article posted after the Christchurch terrorist attack: After The New Zealand Terror Attack, Here’s Why 8chan Won’t Be W..
One company that’s helped keep the site secure and easily accessible is
U.S. internet infrastructure and security provider Cloudflare. Its tech
gets websites to run faster and protects them from distributed denial of
service (DDoS) attacks where Web servers are overwhelmed with traffic.
Over the years, Cloudflare has stuck by its policy of allowing anyone to
enjoy its services, regardless of how extreme the website. And it has
repeatedly been criticized for its “content neutral” approach. In
December, it came under fire for protecting websites promoting material
for groups deemed terrorist organizations, including al-Shabab and the
Taliban.
Alissa Starzak, Cloudflare’s head of policy, defended the services'
actions, saying that that taking away support for 8chan wouldn’t remove
it from the internet.
Website moderators are the ones who are there to remove content, not
Cloudflare, she added. “We're the Fedex of the internet, passing
messages on, not looking inside the boxes,” she explained.
If Clouflare did pull the plug, it’d be possible to see who the host of the
website was. From there it’d be easier for governments to request the
host pull the site. It’d also be easier for anyone willing to break the
law and carry out a DDoS attack to knock the forum offline.
Absolutely shameful. I wouldn't be surprised if 4Chan and others have the same preferential care.
