Mass shooting in the middle school Vladislav Ribnikar in Belgrade

[Irreligious Atheist]

What do you guys think, was there really a mass shooting in the middle school Vladislav Ribnikar in Belgrade? Or was it faked by politicians who push for more gun control?

The story sounds just so unbelievable. Why would Kosta Kečmanović, a 13-year-old boy, be willing to kill his classmates? Not just one classmate, but 8 of them?

I think a conspiracy to fake that is more believable than the story. The largest conspiracy ever discovered was the Operation Snow White, it included around 5'000 people. The conspiracy to fake the mass shooting would not need to be nearly as big as that, right?

I agree with you that the media are full of lies. There's propaganda, false flag operations, and just every kind of dishonesty. 

That said, there are also lots and lots of mass shootings. Most of them are in the US, but there have been copycats elsewhere. There is no reason to doubt that a mass shooting may be what it appears to be.

You can treat it as you would a scientific explanation: the most obvious explanation seems the most likely, until there is falsifying evidence. If a reliable source (i.e. not Alex Jones) shows us evidence that the shooting was a conspiracy, then we should be willing to consider that. Jumping to that conclusion too quickly would be irresponsible. 

Sad to say, a boy shooting his classmates sounds all too believable in the world today.

Good points. There are false flags, and many here on the forum like to equate acknowledging that there are conspiracies in the world to believing all conspiracy theories are true, when there is a big difference. I am a conspiracy theorist, technically, because I acknowledge  that people conspire together sometimes to do things. Not the same as me believing in all conspiracies, although of course, many online do seem to fall for basically every single conspiracy theory thrown out there. This is a trick of the normies though, to equate us with those nutcases, because that makes it way easier to argue against the strawman that they have built up and to pretend that they've won the argument, and that we are crazy for thinking Western governments might be up to some sketchy things, and it's always going to be a mix of good and bad with the actions of any government.

Here's why no government needs to fake a school shooting. They just need to be a little patient, and a shooting like this will happen naturally sooner or later, and then they can do what they're going to do with gun rights in said country or state. Faking a school shooting just to get the new laws on the books a couple years sooner is just too risky, and there's no need for the government to take any risk when they can just sit there and wait for something to happen, to give them the excuse they've been waiting for.
