Hours after a mass shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, LibsOfTikTok is targeting another LGBTQ organization in Colorado Springs.

They want to get people killed. That’s really the only explanation here. This is textbook stochastic terrorism.

This has been a clear problem on Twitter for *YEARS*. I have literally been begging Twitter to do something about for at least 5 years.

More people will die as long as stochastic terrorism is allowed on this platform.

Stochastic terrorism is “the use of mass communications to incite random actors to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable.'

Trump & his supporters have embraced this tactic and I’ve written about it countless times.
