    Article cites Steven Crowder–who should generally not be considered to be credible–as a source. While Crowder and the article claim that it’s been authenticated, other, more credible news sources, say that police have refused to say that it’s authentic.

    I’m going to wait until this hits a credible source that that actually authenticates things.

    Every quote of that manifesto sounds fake. Why would a transgender person use a gay slur to describe white children? And what person about to go on a homicidal rampage would censor the word cracker which doesn’t hold nearly the weight of most racial slurs?

    Sounds like something made up by people like Steven Crowder

      … just because you don’t like how things sound, doesn’t mean it’s fake. That’s some MAGA logic. This story from the outset seemed like this scenario was likely. Wild, in America, even ultra leftist can be school shooters. Absolutely shocking.
