The founder of the notorious 8chan website called Sunday for it to be shut down amid suspicions that a gunman posted a racist, anti-immigrant manifestominutes before the bloody rampage that killed 20 people in El Paso, Texas.
Fredrick Brennan told the Washington Post that the site’s owners should “do the world a favor and shut it off.”
“Once again, a terrorist used 8chan to spread his message as he knew people would save it and spread it,” Brennan said.
“The board is a receptive audience for domestic terrorists.”
Postings on 8chan, which functions as an anonymous, unmoderated message board, have previously been linked to mass killings in April at a synagogue in Poway, California, and in March at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The rant that preceded Saturday’s slaughter in El Paso said the attack was prompted the “Hispanic invasion of Texas” and said the writer was inspired by the Christchurch shootings.
Of course, FACEBOOK spread the manifesto and shooting footage far and wide but no one wants to shut THAT down....

As I’ve said before, this won’t fly in Texas. We are TexMex....
Hell, most of my friends are Mexican..and most of their friends are white...
So the FF events were to eliminate 8chan and thus block Q’s method of comms to us commoners? That’s a lot of death to stop Q. Sad - and makes me angry! In the meantime, blood still flows in Chicago.
