Authorities Spoke To The YouTube HQ Shooter HOURS Before The Shooting

Government failing again? Say it isn’t so.

The YouTube HQ shooter has been identified as Nasim Aghdam. She described herself as a “vegan artist, bodybuilder, and animal rights activist.” She had a big beef with YouTube and said the company had “discriminated and filtered” her content.

She had a manifesto of sorts. It reads 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!”

BREAKING: YouTube HQ shooter named as Nasim Aghdam by NBC News.

I did some research and this photo appear to be the shooter. This photo is taken from a 2009 Peta protest.

She was INSANE. There’s a difference between being annoyed at social media companies for censorship and SHOOTING UP HEADQUARTERS.

Could this have been prevented? Probably.

Days ago, Aghdam’s father reported her missing, and he specifically told them that she was angry at YouTube.

The police called her father when they found her. She was in her car in Mountain View in Northern California. Her family realized that was near the YouTube HQ and told authorities that she was extremely upset with the company. They clearly had a feeling something bad was going to happen. The authorities’ response? Wait for it.

He said law enforcement authorities contacted him Tuesday at 2 a.m., telling him they had found his daughter safe in her car in Mountain View in Northern California. When the family realized that was near YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, they told police about her recent complaints about how the company was “ruining her life.” They claim police told them they would be keeping an eye on her.

So much for “keeping an eye on her.”

another report that was neglected

Wow, authorities ignore mental health issues again…probably in hopes of eventually leading to an end of #2A

Another reason we can’t expect the government to protect us from shootings.

Nope. It reminds me of what this witness said. It’s POWERFUL.
