and the gunman was sharing a diary with a group of online contacts?

A) Six months. Why did no one turn this guy in? Obviously they turned in video cllps of the actual recording of the killings that was being filmed real-time, so they finally did speak up. But why did they wait so long?

B) Ben Collins said that they are passing around the same manifesto, which is encouraging others to do the same. So, why can't we do massive online searches for the wording to find where these people are?
