Subscribe to PewDiePie: From 4chan to spectacle killing. The alt-right recruitment pipeline turns into real world violence.
Deeply disturbing.
John Earnest was a local boy here where I live in San Diego.
We knew him. He was on the high school swim team with one of my children.
No one would have guessed he would do this. There were no outward warning signs.
I know more than I need to about how this came to be.
It wasn't just the Internet that led him to attempt mass murder. His Presbyterian church and preacher were also directly responsible.
This was religion combined with 8chan hate in his case.
BTW, before he went on his shooting spree on Poway, he tried to burn down a mosque in the city of Escondido.
A dangerous combination.
Deadly, in fact.
And the first thing his father wanted is to know about the agent who shot Renne Good is that he is a conservative Christian.
