    I hate that mental health is so inaccessible. Couple that with a dying human habitat, no future prospects and an abundance of fire arms, this is what you get.

    After the Madison shooting, a separate social media user noted their association and tweeted at the FBI, accusing Henderson and others of having prior warning. They “need to be locked up,” the poster said, “no questions asked.”

    The FBI declined to comment. After Henderson’s attack, social media users returned to the tweet: “hey so this guy literally just ended up calling a future school shooter a month ahead of time and the FBI did nothing about it.”

    This is so frustrating. Random twitter users can track and identify these fucking right wing lunatics better than our own alphabet agencies. And LEO once again proves completely useless.

      They are just continuing to break the social contract: they aren’t protecting us, they’re repressing us.

      They’re only useless if you assume their purpose is to protect or help the public in any way. That’s not what they are for. The system is working as intended.

      The thing is, you can’t arrest people for potential future crimes (if they haven’t published concrete plans to do it anywhere). Unless the guy outright stated he was going to shoot up a school, there’s really nothing you can do, unless you want the FBI to start rounding up everyone that’s messaged anyone after they’ve done a crime.

    To save you the click, it was on X.

    Very disturbing. Xitter has now fully made the transition to becoming the new 8chan
