I don’t think that can work. You can’t monitor all platforms on the internet. And 99% of the time people post shyt with no intention of carrying out something like this. At any given moment there are probably 100s or even 1000s of dumb ass dudes posting shyt that could classify as domestic terrorism, but they don’t go through with it. shyt we got a few of em here. There is no way to be proactive about this shyt from that front.
If you shut down discord or a subreddit they will move somewhere else.
We need more open and concealed carrying citizens that know how to properly use a firearm. The reason that coward had the heart to do this shyt is because he knew only 1 person in that area was a threat to him, the guard. But if there was a chance that instead of 1, there was maybe 4 or 5 people that could fire back I bet he would have thought twice about this. Even with the body armor.
It's not about shutting shyt down cause I agree they'll just move to another platform, and we start all over again in terms of identifying where these radicals aggregate and communicate. It's about holding everyone in that server or thread liable if dude is clearly planning shyt out there, similar to how everyone in a gang is held liable in RICO cases. If you read the shyt this guy was saying in his discord, dude was planning this shyt down to the details - dude was measuring his internet speed to know what resolution he can best stream in, thats not "just saying shyt" that's straight up planning and conspiracy. Plus if bystanders in the same chat know they can catch a felony just by being in the chat while all this shyt is manifesting, that would encourage more reporting.
I don't agree with more guns doing anything here. Guns are only a deterrent against rational people. And the last thing people need is more bullets flying in the air by people with little or no training. These mass shooters are complete losers with only one goal of spreading their message, they got nothing to lose and they wanna go out like the end of Scarface. A gun isn't going to block bullets if a crazy cac in military gear gets the drop on you in a grocery store. The opposite needs to happen, and they need to completely ban all these rifles. Cacs literally be taking toddlers to gun ranges. They hunt animals "for sport". The military is a more desirable and respectable career path to them than being a doctor or engineer. Their whole culture is sick.
Plus a black man carrying a legal gun is like driving high. Someone else can hit your car and be completely at fault, but when the cops come and smell kush in your car, it's your fault now.
