Was it the one where some guy started a thread about trying to fix his life and finances, where it turned out he had various mental issues, and toward the end he admitted to having recently thrown his maybe autistic (step?) son across the room or something similar, and former mod Bobbie Whickham (sp?), rather than banning him, just said "get therapy, we'll support you?" I think she had done some other stuff and that was just the trigger for her getting de-modded. I don't remember the details all that well clearly :v:

There was also her probating anyone who tried to speak up and say "hey, maybe enabling child abuse isn't cool". And the get therapy was just get couples therapy, she basically ignored the child abuse poo poo

Also, for the longest time, the Fabgoon and Troons threads were in E/N. Which makes sense, since we often gave advice to people questioning/struggling with their sexuality or gender identity. But Bobbie had always been a lovely mod for the LGBT+ community, and it blew over when one of the goons started being extremely creepy on the Fabgoons discord, posting bestiality, grooming people, etc. So he got banned from that, set up his own discord server, and then posted a link in the Fabgoons thread, pretending it was the "official" discord server. When people warned others about him (just imagine a baby gay coming to the E/N thread with questions, and then ending up in that sex-pest's private discord!), Bobbie blew a gasket about off-site drama, and how "you people" constantly cause problems, and she just chain probated everyone who didn't agree with her. But NOT the creep we warned people about. And so the Fabgoon and the Troons threads were moved to CCCC, where we're kinda hard to find but at least we no longer had a homophobic/transphobic mod.

Three sources say Anderson was a one-time follower of the group, the Black Hebrew Israelite movement. There was a note with religious writings in the U-Haul he and Graham allegedly drove to the scene. Officials also said there were online postings connected to Anderson's social page with anti-police and anti-Jewish writings. Investigators are looking to see if Anderson himself posted that material.

Well, she cleared her throat at me, sort of. I think she was as confused as I was. I forgave her obviously, but she shouldn't be counter-cruising and she shouldn't be eating cooked pork chop bones.

Various black supremacist groups have had tenuous ties to recent violence (Dallas, Baton Rouge) but it's unusual. Wouldn't be surprised if this guy was a ex-member who left because they weren't extreme enough for him.

Most of these violent incidents are usually losers who latch on to an extremist ideology (nazis etc) as an excuse to act violent and live out a deranged fantasy where they're the hero.

The scary ones are the Timothy McVeigh / Anders Breivek types who are smart, calculated, and play a long game as opposed to the "just snapped and started shooting" Dylan Root / Eric Frein / Micah Johnson types.

Then you have your "gently caress it no motive" Vegas / Sandy Hook shooters.

Also, man, gently caress the internet. Studying these groups used to be "ok, this guy is a white supremacist, these guys think white people were made in a lab by a mad scientist, ok this wack job just hates taxes and is a sovcit" but now you need a PhD in internet memes and crazy poo poo to sort it all out. The internet let all these varied wacko theories intermingle and now you have random taxi drivers quoting Moorish Law and SovCit doctrine after running red lights and active shooters livestreaming to 8chan or whatever.

Gonna call it now- bet the cops killed at least half, and all the civilians.

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I don't have confirmation on this yet but it looks like they killed the first cop, broke contact, drove to the Jewish deli and opened fire on the deli from the street.

Initial reporting is always error prone, more due to confusion than malice. I imagine there is video.

Yes, there is a lot of video of the response, I mean like security cam footage of what happened before and at the initial gunfight at the deli. Video I've seen it looks like one or two random patrol cops getting shot at in the street before the subsequent overwhelming response.

The group of armed civilians advancing down the street did not look much like an organized police response. What a hosed up situation.

Organized responses are very difficult in most jurisdictions as everyone has different frequencies and are from different organizations , and also, poo poo moves fast, and it's hard to communicate whats going on.

"Get in a line and advance towards the gunfire" is about as good as it's gonna get until ESU and some sort of command shows up.

Edit: "move towards the gunfire, plainclothes clear the scene if you can" is your basic active shooter SOP for just about everyone

Okay, I'm genuinely curious now: were there really THAT many fyad goons that are now all complaining and eating probations/bans, or is it people making GBS threads on each other in QCS that are contributing to that number?

Remember the legend of the goons in the well. The whole thing could have probably gotten glossed over without much drama but FYAD goons clown carred into QCS and started raising hell, and then lovely terrible GBS posters also came out of the woodwork and pretended to be FYAD posters (even though FYAD mods told them to gently caress off via repeated chain probations). and now its looking like all of FYAD is banned and has 30 day probations as well, and some permabans for super egregious shitheads, as well as a big swath of stupid rear end GBS posters.
