oooh... we can't do the antigun story against the hero because people like him and we can't do the antigun story because the shooter died so quickly so....
look gaise - the shooter might've been a nazi racist who targeted latinos so we needs gun control AND need to ban these hatefilled websites!
(Yes, really - that's how the media here is covering this)
The shooter shot 3 people in 15 seconds and then got pegged by the hero (who is also a "bad guy" because he brought a gun to the mall in violation of their rules!)
But because the shooter's first 3 targets (nearest the bathroom where he came out) were a hispanic couple and an hispanic buy stander... He was committing a HATE CRIME gaise!
Just yesterday I commented that it seemed suspicious that this shooting clearly attracted less attention compared to the Gendron and Ramos ones. And that the media tries to reframe every shooter as White—if not White ethnonationalists—or at least White-passing mixed where possible.
I suspected that Sapirman was being downplayed simply because of the risk that trying to reframe him as White would be very difficult to do without also potentially arousing 'anti-Semitism'. After all, his Jewishness can't really be hidden once everyone knows the name 'Sapirman', and most of these outlets like the NYTimes are riddled with Jews from top to bottom who surely know it.
But now it suddenly looks as though they're going for this narrative anyway, based on some 4chan posts? So they're aiming for what looks like an incredulous Jewish neo-Nazi narrative?

Just unbelievable.
Like a well-oiled machine.
And all they need to do is put that unconfirmed idea out there into the zeitgeist and people will start believing and repeating it.
When it turns out there's no connection between latinos and the shooting.... well they just won't talk about it any more. Next hate crime.

Of course those of us who have seen enough hate crime hoaxes and "stormfront"-postings know that isn't incredulous at all.
Those damn evil notorious hackers 4chans!

Be me. Go to mall, start randomly shooting. So many spics now hit only spics. Called racist.
