DHS issues warning that copycat Uvalde attacks could be inspired by online forums

The Department of Homeland Security issued a terror threat bulletin warning that the recent massacre at a school in Uvalde, Texas, could inspire young users in online forums to attempt copycat attacks. Analysts note that six of the nine deadliest mass shootings in the U.S. were carried out by men under the age of 21. CBS News reporter Nicole Sganga has more.

This is what zero accountability from the media looks like.

[Seethenhagen]

"could be inspired by wall to wall media coverage about the shooter and his weapons"


I think that's a more accurate way to put it.

Fun Fact: Before the internet copycat crimes stemmed from the media, and still do.

[scotteric]

Its not online forums. Its the news media. Shock culture is what they thrive on, hasn't changed in decades.

[STRTJESSUS]

We live in a world where conspiracy theorist are considered the liars not the media

[monkeystrive]

Zero accountability and zero responsibility from the Uvalde police force. Suppose to serve and protect the citizens but failed to do so to protect those innocent children.

[davidbeppler]

DHS needs to be warned that the lack of police action at the Uvalde attack does inspire copycats. DHS arrested the Chief of Uvalde police yet?

Stop blaming the internet. Blame those in power that sit idly, doing nothing

“Tragic shooting and many lost their lives”

Police: “let’s focus on Reddit and Facebook”

[adamcuneo]

I love how the media says this, yet they keep on reporting these incidents and inspiring more freaks to do these things, do these people think before they report things like this so they won't look like hypocrites? The answer is obviously no.

[usamerican]

The biggest threat is the realization that law enforcement is too frightened to react to a live shooter. Disgusting.

[la_snakr]

No, it's from you why copycats occur.

[douglasdingwall]

Well, it would be nice if our govt law enforcement agencies took their jobs seriously....seems most of the mass shootings aside from the urban gang shootings, have been ignored when they were notified of potential deranged people out there threatening the world.. of course expecting a govt employees to actually do their job is expecting too much.

[benholioo]

Is that where the cops refuse to enter when children are getting gunned down?

[Lancer]

When these people ask "How many more children need to die?" it isn't a question, it's a threat.

Quote from news agency that has been reporting on mass murderers like they're the most important people in the world:

"Gee, what could possibly inspire copycat crimes?"

[stephaniegoodman]

My brother and I went to see "Top Gun" yesterday at the theater. I found myself watching the people coming into the theater.
There is a fine line between being pro-active versus paranoia...
Sad Times!

It took them 16 years to recognize this. Also those forum boards are a CIA HONEYPOT, but you can learn alot of knowledge if you know how to discern which is truth and which is false in these forum boardw

[gloriasullivan]

Wow, they are already telling you they are going to pay someone to do it again!

[thetexanbuzzsaw]

It’s only really a copy cat if the cops involved don’t do anything and just sit outside letting kids get dead.
