Did you miss this mass-murder & BREAKING NEWS: 8CHAN CANCELLED?
Two larger mass-murders apparently eclipsed this smaller slaughter that appears to have been perpetrated by a right-wing extremest, if you read the entire article, instead of just the headline.

GILROY, Calif. — The motive behind the Gilroy Garlic Festival rampage that left three dead remained a mystery Wednesday, with federal authorities saying literature found in searches of gunman Santino William Legan’s homes ran the gamut from left to right.
John Bennett, FBI special agent in charge, said they had not determined the ideology of the Gilroy shooter and had recovered “conflicting literature” during searches in Nevada and Gilroy.
The Los Angeles Times, however, only reported on one piece of literature, endorsed by "the shooter."
The book, published in 1890, includes discredited principles related to social Darwinism that have been used to justify racism, slavery and colonialism, said Brian Levin, director of Cal State San Bernardino’s Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-07-31/gilroy-shooting-motive-santino-william-legan
Instigators appear "reasonably confident" that this sociopath was a right-wing extremist.

The document is being considered a "nexus to a potential hate crime," officials said.
Investigators are examining a screed believed to have been posted online by the suspect in Saturday's fatal shooting at a Texas shopping mall an hour before the attack, senior law enforcement officials say.
Investigators are “reasonably confident” that the suspect, identified by police as Patrick Wood Crusius, 21, of Texas, posted the diatribe on the extremist online forum 8chan before the shooting.
The screed posted to the anonymous extremist message board railed against immigrants in Texas and pushed talking points about preserving European identity in America. The attack left at least 20 dead and 26 injured. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/investigators-reasonably-confident-texas-suspect-left-anti-immigrant-screed-tipped-n1039031
Unlike previous mass-murders, this killer appears to lack ANY political motivation.

(CNN)A gunman who wore a mask, bulletproof vest and hearing protection was killed by police within 30 seconds of opening fire on Sunday in a popular nightlife district in downtown Dayton, Ohio, authorities said.
Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl released a timeline of the early morning shooting that left nine people dead, including the gunman's sister.
Authorities found writings linked to the shooter that show he had an interest in killing people, two federal law enforcement sources told CNN. A preliminary assessment of the writings did not indicate any racial or political motive, the sources said.
"We do not have sufficient information to answer the question everyone wants to know: 'Why?'" Biehl said, adding that there was "no evidence [that] suggests that there is a bias motive in this crime at this time." https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/04/us/dayton-ohio-active-shooter/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/04/us/dayton-ohio-active-shooter/index.html
As for the first two mass-murders, these freaks appear to be playing follow the leader:

Cloudflare has had enough, cutting off 8chan
Cloudflare CEO says site may return, but it'll be someone else's problem.
JOHN TIMMER - 8/4/2019, 8:39 PM
In the wake of Saturday's mass shooting in El Paso, in which 20 people lost their lives, it was discovered that the shooter had posted a racist manifesto on the imageboard site 8chan. That was the third time this year alone that a mass shooting has involved the notorious site, and its hosting service decided that was finally enough. As of midnight on the US West Coast, the Cloudflare service provider will cut off 8chan.
This isn't the first time that the popular service provider has severed its ties to one of its customers over offensive content. In 2017, the host dropped the white supremacist website the Daily Stormer, a move that left it without a host briefly. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/08/cloudflare-has-had-enough-cutting-off-8chan/
Even without their hate-mongering website, this horror story is just beginning.
= new reply since forum marked as read
Not according to this dipshit conservative writer I saw on Twitter, who denied that the Tangerine Colostomy Bag had anything to do with the El Paso shooting, even though hundreds of people called him out on it on Twitter. He's really diving into the Whataboutsim and saying that the Dayton's shooting was influenced and encouraged by Senators Sanders and Warren.
I'm only bringing him up because I saw so many people reblogging his tweet about El Paso that seemed compassionate. But if you scratched off the thin coating, you'd find an unrepentant MAGAt shitweasel underneath.
I hate these people with the heat of a nova. (to borrow a quote from Toby Ziegler a-la The West Wing.)
