United States Mass Shooting in Allen, TX

[Captain X]

I'm honestly kind of shocked there isn't a thread about this.

Here's a video of TheQuartering musing about the differences between this shooting and the Nashville shooting as far as how law enforcement and the media are treating it before discussing how the BBC posted an article on Twitter in such a way to appear to be suggesting that Tim Poole was the mass shooter.

Not able to watch the whole thing at the moment, but at horrible as this incident is and as many prayers as I'm sending their way, I find it vaguely funny how the BBC article displays no archived tweets or other evidence to back up what they claim the Texas shooter posted online.

That, and it's a little embarrassing how they couldn't find a photo of Tim Pool from more recently than 2012 — despite the fact he's been at more than enough events and done more than enough podcasts over the last few years for them to find a more recent photo. Much less all the hate they're stirring up for him among terminally online Wokesters who only read the Tweet, see his darkly lit picture, and don't bother to click on the actual article... so there's also that.

Conjecture is they used that one because it looked the most like a mugshot.

That's what I was going for, yeah.

In any case, probably safe to say BBC has it out for Pool and that the smear campaigns against him will really start ramping up.

That's dirty pool.

Maybe he will get banned from YouTube and move entirely to rumble.

All in all that's probably a good thing. I'd like to see rumble succeed, and the more voices they send over there, the better.

I was hoping Tucker would go to Rumble, but hes trying this twitter nonsense. Which is just not the right platform for longer content.

It's going to depend on how easy they make it to use and how well they cater to the viewer. I think it's something Twitter needs to do in order to broaden its platform appeal.

It won't work. Youtube and rumble and the like are where people go to focus on longer things. Twitter is about scrolling next to next to next.

It's not going to work. Facebook and Twitter have both already tried moving to long form videos and failed miserably. It's a bad move.

This story will fade into the background you watch.
