The shooting was almost definitely a false flag operation. I saw the video of the journal being shown. The entire thing is in the cerrylic alphabet (so people watching russian TV can read it) . But it's 100% set up to justify sending you to a "wellness camp" so either run to a different country or hide out Anne Frank style. I don't think I'm being needlessly alarmist either.
Based on the track record of the people currently in power, I wouldn't put it past them to use that as a justification in hindsight, but how do we know it was what the shooter meant to bring about at the time of her actions?
You don't, but I promise you that a random American kid with no ties to Russia didn't write an entire journal in cerrylic (including a lot of russian phrases) and then slowly thumb through it on camera while not showing their face or saying anything. It was a video made for russian TV to enforce anti LGBTQ laws in Russia and demonise the west as a bunch of mentally ill psychopaths. As for the girl in question it wouldn't surprise me if she were executed off site and placed at the scene.
Was that what the manifesto video was? I was early to the news but too late to see her manifesto part before it was blocked out. Though without having seen it and having just heard about it, I found it absurd she expected nobody to do anything about it, like it was just going to stay on display after she had died.
