Our first Bahai mass shooter. Can’t say I ever predicted that. I believe this would also be the first “gig economy” shooting, where someone apparently shot up their not employer over losing money. Uber will probably be reinforcing their security now.

I’ve long predicted this happening. That said, I expected it to be someone who was suicidal anyways leaving a huge manifesto behind, and taking out a lot of people on their way down. I expected full military type stuff.

YouTube was even my number 1 expected target, due to how they treat their creators without seeming consequence to their bottom line.
