She genuinely sounds like she has mental health problems.
I cannot believe there was a mass shooter potentially because of the demonetisation of YouTube vids...what a world we live in....
wow damn maybe before we debate NRA and gun control we figure out why cops interviewed the lady but let her go. Asleep in her car, a few hours before the shooting because her dad called the cops and said he was concerned she may go attack youtube

You gotta be kidding me, we actually have a fucking law for this type of thing.

I'm with you that something has to be done. I'm also concerned about increasing the stigma of mental illness, since we already have about 60% of mentally ill people not in treatment - partially because of access, but also because societal admission of mental illness carries with it a huge price. In the long run, I don't think it's possible for any set of laws to stop deeply ill people or people who are incredibly angry from engaging in violence. Limiting access to guns overall would help. So would mental health care access. So would taking guns away from people who have engaged in domestic abuse or assault. But it's important to realize what those mean. If you target domestic abusers and assaulters, you're now talking about taking away guns from a lot of cops and a lot of soldiers, both of whom have higher than average domestic abuse rates. If we're talking about ratcheting down the limit of mental illness from being committed to, say, forcible reporting from therapists, you're not only going to catch literally millions of false positives, you're going to drive people away from seeking therapy. It's a complicated issue that can be addressed on a lot of fronts, and I find it bizarre that anyone thinks "fixing" mental illness is somehow easier than removing guns. We have dozens and dozens of examples of countries that have done the latter, and no examles of the former.
The same kind that was implemented in Australia New Zealand and I think the UK in response to a mass shooting.
Its really annoying when people seem to forget this has happened and been effectively addressed 3 times at a national level in first world countries.
B-b-b-but America different. Isn't really a good argument for it, people do weird kind of mental gymnastics to pretend you have 'more freedom' based off nothing measurable to defend the right to get shot by crazy people. Its too weird
What the fuck. So many questions in this story. So the police found her after the missing persons report...and did nothing? They just let her be when her family was looking for her?
Did she really have an intended target and did that intended target even know her personally?
It's really baffling that the suspect was actually a disgruntled YouTuber, pure insanity.
Arrest the brown woman based on.. being angry at Youtube. That would have gone over really well.
It was a 9mm pistol. These will always be legal in America.
Goodness these right wing idiots on twitter are really tying to tie her to some sort of Iranian terrorism plot smh. The sad thing is so many people will believe this crap.
So is the right going to cheerlead this as a warning to YouTube about censorship...as this was being trolled on Twitter about some sort of payback for getting rid of gun content on YouTube..
Or does this score one for another foot on the imaginary wall...?
Oh no. She's Iranian.... yeah. Boltons mustache just twitched.

Her videos are something else....

It's very reminiscent of the cringe videos that hit forums or that end up going viral. She very clearly isn't some ISIS-affiliated terrorist.
I'm sorry but her videos and website are basically a Nigerian editor that has found out he has more options on his 2004 version of final cut pro.
Good thing that there are actual news places you could go. Nice gaslighting tho
People ask what Gun laws could have stopped this.
First we need to see how she obtained said gun. If it was legal, maybe a waiting period plus some sort of background check could have stopped this.
Jobs go through your criminal history and even social media stuff these days. I have no issues with the same logic if people wish to own a gun. Maybe they could have searched her name and found a lot of this stuff and went from there.

They kind of need more to go on than that to keep a person detained... In a world where we all love our liberty, it means we take extra risks in that people like this can't actually be stopped until they actually do it. Different if he had some written journal or something with evidence he could show the police that she was serious and in the process of doing so and not just venting.
Pretty sure this law is rarely used and you still need evidence that the person is a risk to others/themselves otherwise you can't detain them for long.
This is the most likely reason.
According to local police, who have confirmed her as the shooter, there was no specific target. It was not a domestic/personal issue.

Imagine just hanging out, having a quiet lunch, and being shot because YouTube demonetized some person's account.
HOOOOLLLLYYYY FUCKKKK
I remember watching some of her videos on Instagram. Couple of her videos went pretty viral on Iranian Instagram pages some times ago. FUCK.
The scary thing is there are an unlimited number of clearly unstable persons on Instagram/youtube and they all share one ultimate goal: Attention. Hopefully this won't set a precedent :/

I'm really not sure why people are blaming the cops in this scenario. They had no reason to arrest her.
Gun laws aren't going to stop every single shooting so I don't get why the right is using this case as some "gotcha".
"gun laws wouldnt have stopped this" is a fantastically weak approach to not having any gun laws.

YouTuber terrorism is a thing now.....

Seriously though, it's not healthy to have your entire well being be in the hands of a single company. In this case they were obviously mentally ill, but I wonder about other circumstances where people have the rug pulled out from under them. YouTube has to be careful.

Terrible news, but hopefully this is an event that could make YouTube take a look, and I do mean a really hard look at how they manage their content. Like it or not they have such a huge impact on how people view things so hopefully this is something that could force them to really take a stance in how they moderate their site.
This is terrible. But I wonder, how the hell did she entered HQ of a fucking YouTube? Do they even have security there? It's not a school or church, it's a part of one of the biggest corporate entities in the world.
Not arrest. If there law is like Florida's Baker Act it's not an arrest but more of an intervention. If someone reports that you may cause harm to yourself or others and police evaluate and find reasonable suspicion or evidence then they take you to a hospital or mental facility where you will be seen by doctors and involuntary kept for treatment for a certain amount of days or till the doctor clears you.
It's actually a very useful and life saving law. If it is indeed the same there I can't see how they didn't have enough evidence or suspicion to enact it and take her to a hospital. It would have saved her life and stopped this tragedy.
Eww. She is a vegan? I think at this point vegetarian should be treated as mental illness
User banned (2 days): trolling in a serious thread by equating vegetarianism with mental illness.
Well. Let's not talk about that.. it's a bit tricky to answer. But i personally believe people need enough nutrients to think straight. Lack of nutrients or stuff can be one of factors that affects the way people think and behave
In this case if she is a vegetarian, why is she a vegetarian? Is she trying to harm herself? I dont find any reason for someone should be a vegetarian, unless she is allergic to meat which is extremely rare.
Relating it to this event, i think there is a possibility that being vegetarian affects her state of mind thay she decided to do this
Of all the bad takes in this thread, this one takes the cake. Just, you have to be trolling with this.
Is this a real post? you honestly view vegetarianism as a form of self harm? wow.
Yes, that is trolling. Suggesting the only reason to be vegetarian is because of allergies... that is not a sincere comment.
If you didn't know what she did, and you just watched those videos, you'd think she was doing a really funny Tim and Ericesque bit. Well, to be fair i still can't 100% tell if she was doing a bit or that was just her derangedness showing.
Such a weird fucking thing.
Such a weird fucking thing.
I feel that way about a lot of youtubers. There are people out there that do this and have no other viable options as a career...
YouTube is really playing with fire.
