Were San Diego shooters connected to "true crime community" mass-murder worshiping spaces online?

[Swede]

Teenagers who allegedly planned or attempted mass shootings in Tennessee and Wisconsin — and now Indiana — shared a commonality: they were plugged into an online subculture that worships mass murderers.

The people in these communities share graphic material – death, gore, hate, and abuse – like any other form of entertainment and horrify each other on purpose. They treat violent criminals like movie stars and count corpses like high scores on an arcade game.

Amid some unconfirmed speculation that the shooters in San Diego yesterday were connected to "true crime community" mass-murder worshiping spaces online, I am going to share this piece I wrote last year again

Please be accurate in discussing the San Diego mass murder.
