Official Mass Shooter Thread

[Rev. Rye]

Mass shooting of innocent strangers in 2021 USA + that name = what, 99% likelihood he's a muslim. A muslim terrorist at that.

An Arab, most likely, but not necessarily a Muslim. Remember Ali David Sonboly? His parents were Iranians, but he was born in Germany and became so assimilated into the host culture that he became a fanboy of Anders Behring Breivik, y'know, the guy who was convinced that Europe was being invaded by Muslims and shot up an island full of kids as a last-ditch attempt at stopping the supposed invasion? He ended up shooting up a McDonald's on the fifth anniversary of Breivik's attacks, and it sure as shit wasn't an act of Jihad.

Also, it's jarring to look back at the footage of him being led out and finding out he's actually a 21-year-old with an Arabic name. He looked like a chubby, balding 40-something man. If I were to guess at his ethnicity before finding out his name, I would have guessed he might be Italian or Jewish (what I saw from the footage looked like Allen Ginsberg or Dom DeLuise). The furthest east I would have ventured was Armenian (Ken Davitian.) Fucking Hell, he looked twice as old as he actually was. He must have lived a hard life.
