Americano: do mass shootings begin online?

from Best of the Spectator

Freddy Gray is joined by writer and internet ethnographer Katherine Dee. She's written about the Minneapolis school shooting and Robin Westman for Spectator World. Two children were killed and 17 others injured by a killer with a bizarre online footprint: a mix of memes, nihilism, politics and gore references. Katharine argues 'these shooters are radicalized, but in no particular direction. Their identities fragment. There is a deep fear of being forgotten.' Hosted on Acast.
