Extremists are praising the Uvalde school shooting online and encouraging copycat attacks, feds warn

Extremists and conspiracy theorists are praising the deadly May 24 mass shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 21 people dead — and are encouraging others to shoot up schools in similar attacks — the Department of Homeland Security warned on Tuesday.

"Individuals in online forums that routinely promulgate domestic violent extremist and conspiracy theory-related content have praised the May 2022 mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas and encouraged copycat attacks," Homeland Security said in a new terrorism bulletin.

It continued: "Others have seized on the event to attempt to spread disinformation and incite grievances, including claims it was a government-staged event meant to advance gun control measures."

Nineteen children and two adults were killed when an 18-year-old gunman barged into two classrooms at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde and opened fire.

Some sick fucks

1. If we're not kicking asses, I hope we are at least taking names.

I have no problem with the government identifying and keeping track of people who are making terroristic threats and encouraging violence.

2. K&R K& R K&R K&R K& R K&R K&R K& R K&R

These people make me sick, but DU needs to know.

3. Time for Domestic Terrorism to include Violent Extremists Promoting Their Crimes on Social Media

ALL of these people should get a "vacation for life" at GITMO

IF they are plotting terroristic events, they are terrorists and need to be shut down.

6. Agreed, they need to be severely treated.

9. Maybe not GITMO, but if it's still paid for and wasted space?

No waterboarding, though.

4. "Online" is a sewer.

And really, I can't think of one method of mass communication that hasn't been exploited and become a sewer.

8. BUT when you make threats of death online, via mail, or in person - it should all count.

I'm talking like their detailed manifestos, like a suicide note or pre-confession

Those urging copy cat mass murders, that is incitement to riot.

5. And all (except Kinzinger) House Republicans voted against the Domestic Terrorism

Prevention Act of 2022.

12. 👆 Our lack of domestic terrorism laws is a big problem. nt

7. WHO is causing violence? Not ANTIFA
