I can totally relate to what you are saying. I could see myself posting something that linked to a link that I didn’t know wasn’t allowed and doing it by accident. I’m surprised about locking down the whole thread. Shutting down the whole thread for ANYONE at ANYTIME for doing it seems like it’s inviting people that don’t want the thread to begin with to come on over and start posting links to the link that shall not be named. Which is exactly the same maneuvering linking the link that shall not be named to all the shootings. Does anyone really think all these shootings were just coincidentally all at the same time? A message board is not to blame or responsible for these shootings. Yet people allowing the connection of the two are enabling an attack on our 1st as well as our 2nd amendment rights when these websites are shut down.
Seems all too coordinated. “FBI Bulletin” naming Qanon and “white nationalism” as inciting domestic terrorism, MSM “discovering” that and shouting it all over the place 2 days before the 2 shootings, “manifesto” or whatever it was posted on Instagram and then by someone (else?) on eight chan (can I say that???). And all the rest.
To me it is obviously a planned operation.
I seriously doubt the El Paso shooter wrote that thing; I read somewhere it is mostly plagarzied, whoever put it together.
