Yeah, and Jackie Soi is spreading these falsehoods on the main board. There were quite a few of us who called him out for just how wrong he has been and spreading these falsehoods. A bunch of us got our posts deleted on that thread. What the heck is happening to this place?

YOW!

“The Poway Synagogue Shooting Follows an Unsettling New Script
The shooting at the Chabad of Poway synagogue, in California, was preceded by the posting of a familiar-sounding manifesto on the message board 8chan.
Colin, a twenty-five-year-old man in Southern California, takes general-education classes at a community college and works part time at a car dealership. He said that one of his co-workers there, a man more than two decades his senior, often goes on at length about QAnon, a byzantine conspiracy theory according to which most prominent Democrats are pedophiles, the “deep state” is engaged in a soft coup against the President, and mass arrests are always looming.
“Whenever he goes on about that stuff, he mentions that his information is coming from 8chan,” Colin, who asked to be identified only by his first name, told me recently. He doesn’t share his co-worker’s beliefs, but he was curious about where they came from. So, just after eleven o’clock on Saturday morning, he logged on to 8chan, a message board that bills itself, half-ironically, as “the darkest reaches of the Internet.”
Someone Found The Poway Synagogue Shooter’s Manifesto And Called The FBI Minutes Before The Attack Began
It was just minutes before the shooting when he saw the post. At 11:05 a.m. on Saturday, Colin, a 25-year-old in Yucaipa, California, logged into 8chan.
It was only his second time ever on the site, he told BuzzFeed News. Someone close to him is a QAnon believer, and after hearing them spout “some really crazy shit,” Colin went on the site out of curiosity.
8chan — an online message board full of white supremacists, conspiracy theorists, Trump fanatics, and violent trolls — was where the Christchurch mosque shooter first announced his plans for the attack.
So, when Colin saw a post that reminded him of that, he immediately felt uneasy.
“I can’t remember why, but the picture and the first line of the preview caught my attention,” said Colin, who asked that his last name not be used to avoid 8chan trolls. “And I thought, is this like New Zealand?”
He posted an image of the 8chan post timestamped 11:07 a.m. PT — police said the shooter opened fire “just before” 11:30 a.m.
An FBI official told BuzzFeed News they received multiple reports about the post, but the attack happened before they were able to confirm the poster’s identity and do something about it.
“Approximately five minutes before the shooting at Chabad Synagogue in Poway, California, the FBI received submissions through its online tip website and tip phone number regarding an anonymous threatening post on a social media site,” the official said. “The submissions included a link to the post, but did not offer specific information about the post’s author or threat location. Although FBI employees immediately took action to determine the post’s author, the shooting occurred before the suspect could be fully identified.”

Why we flinch when white nationalists stage a protest at a bookstore
A small group of white nationalists marched into a sacred place in Washington over the weekend.
There were no guns or burning torches. But it was still frightening. An author at one of D.C.’s most beloved bookstores had just begun his talk Saturday when the group came into Politics and Prose — a temple of words and pages, a church of discussion and debate.
At a time when hatred is fueling attacks against synagogues, churches and mosques, the white nationalists stormed past the signed copy of “How We Fight White Supremacy” and past “The Politics of Losing: Trump, the Klan and the Mainstreaming of Resentment.”
Just a few doors down from the bookstore is Comet Ping Pong, the local pizzeria that was stormed by a man firing an assault-style rifle almost three years ago because he believed the preposterous Pizzagate conspiracy that Hillary Clinton was running a child sex ring in the basement of a place that has no basement.
The place was also set on fire earlier this year, allegedly by a young man from California whose family has declared their support of the right-wing QAnon conspiracy.
So this is where we find ourselves in 2019 — a place where the threat of violence and the ugliness that fuels it is ever present, no matter where we go.”
