They will be able to determine if this was the shooter, but it would give the shooter a little head start if they did do this in order to confuse law enforcement.

and most times the violence of the act leaves very distinct physical evidence. If they are calling it a SIGSW, it's probably because the evidence is overwhelming in that direction.

I suppose, there must be things that I don't know about that the Police would be able to look at for evidence.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
 
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
        In Flanders fields.
 
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
        In Flanders fields.

This conversation so so stupid.  ONE person is trying to describe a misleading set of remains to allow someone to get a head start on running to Mexico or something.  But the COUNTER argument seems to be thinking that this is some kinda of elaborate long term frame up job...  Both sides of this discussion are effectively having ENTIRELY different conversations without realizing it. o.O

and i'm not saying there's any cover up... unless you're referring to someone else's conspiracy comment? LEO says it's an apparent SIGSW, then it most probably is.

 

[GSW suicide] is really too graphic a picture to paint with words, especially here.

From the sounds of it, she's the only DOA at youtube campus. everyone else (3 others?) are either critical (one), stable (one) and NLT (one). If there are others, they haven't said or I haven't heard. if there are, my first instinct would tell me they either got in her way, or were errant shots. Terrible that this happened really. If it is a Domestic Dispute (which is something else officials have said) it's apparent she went off the deep end about something (jealous lover? Recently separated? seems common enough in DD's) and really needed to seek counseling. Anger management is something I think could deff. play a part in this. it certainly wasn't done in self preservation. Doesn't scream drugs either. Could be a cultural dispute perhaps. I suppose we'll find out what social media has to say about her recent past soon enough. Lord knows all we have is news reports and LEO breifs!

If true then it turns out it was a woman who was targeting her boyfriend. How the heck did this happen, in a state with strict gun laws no less?

For the same reasons pedophiles manage to get jobs around children.

Dumb. The guy could have done something constructive like take a crowbar to the racks but instead it was focused at humans.

Local news to San Fran.

 

Quote

ABC7 News sources confirm the YouTube shooter was a user of the platform. Nasim Aghdam has a website with an alleged manifesto that targets YouTube for censorship and demonetization of her video content.

 

Aghdam is said to have no relationship with anyone in the YouTube facility.

Sources contacted by ABC7 News say that Aghdam did not have an ID badge, but was carrying a purse, and that nobody in the facility knew who she was.

We'll see if this is the Narrative they're running with.

You get the gun where laws aren't as strict.

We've got all sorts of angles coming with this one.

I give this 24 hours and it's out of the news. A "Vegan, Animal Rights Activist attacks YouTube staffers; Kills Self". That's the information we have right now. So, the media is going to "nope" right the heck out of this story.

Since I'm sure people are gonna call me out soon, I take back what I said before.

It looks like this (likely) was a response to YouTube's "censorship" of their channel. (Unrelated to firearms however)

 

https://heavy.com/news/2018/04/nasim-aghdam-youtube-channel-video-nasime-sabz/ There are some videos from her channel here about her ranting about YouTube age restricting and "hiding" her videos as they aren't getting views.

She had a pair of full on "crazy eyes" going, so it could have been because an upload didn't work.

See?

Guns and video games makes people violent.

Guns should be banned so that lawful people will be better equipped to protect themselves.

As for video games everyone needs to pay me 5 dolla and problem solved. I'm a genius.

This why Genghis Khan and Hitler went cray cray. They played too much video games and had easy access to firearms.

 

Those poor Youtube employees. All they wanted was to demonetize peaceful/educational channels to pinch ad revenue and make the world a better place. I hope no one got hurt.

Yep, look up Lindsay Sheppard,  there is a good video she put up explaining what the extreme leftists have done to her trying to ruin her career.  And she was a rather left leaning left voting person.  It's just crazy what organised groups of people do in the name of their ideals.

Apparently the suspected attacker was disgruntled with Youtube after some/all of her videos were either demonetised and/or the rates per view she was receiving was extremely low. Some are alluding that this was the motivation for the attack.

Includes video of the suspected attacker complaining that youtube was discriminating against her

Her youtube profile has been deleted, and displays the following message if you try to visit it however it still displays some information in the search list.

image.png.b99bc1634ac069b4aea26362549a829e.png



All of her videos are deleted, however some youtube users are re-uploading her videos to the service. I won't bother linking them cause they will either be pulled down pretty quickly, and/or I don't want the re-uploaders profiting from the views due to the situation. You can search her youtube username and find some of the videos she has made uploaded by other people. Based on the few that I have seen, the quality of her videos is extremely poor. It would make sense if there were little to no advertisement options available for her videos.

It's my understand that Ads served by youtube are typically bought per category of the videos/channels. For example to purchase ad space on a tech channel/videos may be more expensive than ad space on a fitness video.

I'm curious, could it just have been a case where Youtube didn't have any available ads to serve up, or the payment rate for her category was simply just incredibly low?
I can't imagine non-English Persian-Iranian feminist & animal rights activist, vegan cooking & lifestyle videos are exactly the priority ad space that major advertisers are hoping to buy.
