Owner of 8chan Says the Manifesto Was NOT Uploaded By the El Paso Walmart Shooter
The Gateway Pundit ^ | August 6, 2019 | Cassandra Fairbanks

The owner of the anonymous message board 8Chan, Jim Watkins, has unequivocally stated that the manifesto which was said to have been posted by the El Paso Walmart shooter on his website was not actually posted by the killer.

Just moments before the deadly shooting in El Paso on Saturday, a sinister four page long manifesto was posted to 8Chan by someone who claimed to be the shooter.

However, Watkins, an Army veteran, asserted that the shooter actually posted on Instagram prior to the attack — and whoever uploaded the manifesto to 8Chan was not the person who committed the heinous act.

“First of all, the El Paso shooter posted on Instagram, not 8Chan. Later, someone uploaded a manifesto. However, that manifesto was not uploaded by the Walmart shooter,” Watkins asserted in his video statement. “I don’t know if he wrote it or not, but it was not uploaded by the murderer. That is clear, and law enforcement was made aware of this before most people had even heard the horrific news.”

Watkins said that they are continuing to work with law enforcement and working to keep his site active.

More unanswered questions.

Who actually posted the so called "manifesto?"

Who actually wrote the so called "manifesto?"

And why is INSTAGRAM (Facebook) not held accountable for what actually happened?

Did somebody copy and paste it from instagram to 8chan?

And even if he did write it and even if he did post it the so-called manifesto does not show him to be a right-wing white nationalist or a right-wing anything.

Just moments before the deadly shooting in El Paso.....

To believe this requires one to believe that the Walmart shooter did not act alone.

Someone else knew this was going down. I'm not buying it. 8chan is lying.

Peter Strzok didn’t like “smelly Walmart shoppers”. He could be the ghostwriter.

Looking more and more like Antifa was involved in both shootings.

Too bad we don’t have an honest competent FBI, they would have already figured this out.

both shootings have the hall marks of an intelligence service manipulating mentally ill people behind the scenes. I think we need to investigate the associations these people had.

I don’t understand the significance of where he posted. He could have posted on any site. Who cares where it is posted?

I don’t believe there would or will be a war.
I believe most gun owners will just turn in their guns.
The rest of the gun owners will die while turning them in.

History.
