    What if these were synchronized for a reason and both were groypers?

    That’s an interesting idea, but I think it isn’t in the news because school shootings have become so common that nobody (except you) thinks it’s anything but random coincidence.

    Ditto for why there’s no Wikipedia entry: it fails the “notability” requirement.

      Nobody is a strong word when one has to immediately contradict that in parentheses. That two identical right-wing extremist events occur simultaneously, both of whom appear to have been radicalized by online right-wing disinformation ops — that doesn’t seem beyond the realm of probability let alone possibility. I am also entertaining it; I didn’t say I believe it as fact.

      Especially when we know for a fact that far-right extremist violence is the number-one domestic terrorist threat, and that both currently have links to antisemitic ideological groups.

      How I wish it failed the “notability” requirement; and yet every other single mass-shooting incident has an entry. So why would you come to think this when this an anomalous outlier?
