The YouTube HQ shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. She’s finally been identified as Nasim Aghdam. It sounds like she had a personal beef with YouTube.

Aghdam has a robust presence on YouTube. In a video posted in January 2017, she says You Tube “discriminated and filtered” her content. In the video Aghdam says her channel used to get lots of views but that after being filtered by the company, it received fewer views. In a Facebook post from February 2017 Aghdam blasted YouTube saying, “There is not equal growth opportunity on You Tube.”
The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit has also learned the license plate on a car towed from YouTube’s campus Tuesday is registered to Aghdam. In 2014, she posted a video on YouTube of what appears to be the same car, stating that it was vandalized by “anti-vegans” because the car had a sign saying “meat is murder.”
This psycho has also been described as an Iranian activist and PETA supporter. Odd that someone who was SO AGAINST hurting animals had no problem attempting to murder ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS.

Youtube Suspect Nasim Aghdam asks on Instagram: What do you think about freedom of speech and does it really exist in western countries!? "Do you think U.S.A is better than Iran, or is Iran better than U.S.A.?" https://t.co/BhalEHpsIh pic.twitter.com/slPlhztyff

She also had a manifesto. It read in part:
“Be aware! Dictatorship exists in all countries but with different tactics! They only care for personal and short-term profits and do anything to reach their goals even by fooling simple-minded people, hiding the truth, manipulating science and everything, putting public mental and physical health at risk, abusing non-human animals, polluting the environment, destroying family values, promoting materialism and sexual degeneration in the name of freedom and turning people into programmed robots!”

What a disgusting FREAK.
The victims are still being treated at the hospital. The last we heard, a “36-year-old man was in critical condition, a 32-year-old woman in serious condition and a 27-year-old woman in fair condition.”
Praying for full and SPEEDY recoveries.
