You’ve seen this everywhere today right?

Let’s look at it

Thread

Here is what the police said

Shooter said nothing

No known motive at this time

Here is what ADC said

“According to the information provided the three victims were wearing a Kuffiyeh and speaking Arabic. A man shouted and harassed the victims, then proceeded to shoot them.”

Very different from what the police said

The shooter shouted at them allegedly. We don’t know the source

So far the only outlet saying the attack was racially motivated, or that the shooter said anything, is ADC

Everyone is repeating ADCs allegations.

But LE is not at this time

So who is ADC? They’re a 501 (c)3

adc.org/about/

And this is what Influence Watch says about ADC

influencewatch.org/non-profit/ame…

ADC has been accused of supporting terrorism in the past.

The ADC partners with CAIR and SPLC

Also,

“The ADC has received funding from the Agape Foundation, the Open Society Foundations, and the Public Welfare Foundation. Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal provided funding for ADC’s headquarters building.”

So who were ADC source for the claim that the shooter was shouting and the attack was racially motivated? We don’t know. They haven’t said

Yet everyone is running with the allegations, left and right

Burlington VT is a very liberally left town. It’s not a hot bed of Islamophobia, as you can see below

This is Burlington Vt. Not a likely locale for hate crimes

This is also Burlington Vt. A town with a growing drug problem, and with it, a growing violence problem

This was a year ago

I don’t know if these men were attacked because they are Muslim or were speaking Arabic at the time

I have no idea about the shooters motives at this time. Shooter could be a bigot, a lunatic, or a druggie.

let LE complete their investigation

The shooting is awful, I hope the men all have robust recoveries, and the shooter is found and brought to Justice.

But it’s too soon to ascribe a motive based on ADCs say so and nothing else. Especially when it contradicts law enforcement

Hey.

That image floating around of the army guy? I don’t know if that’s the shooter

The shooter is a skinny guy, all into the book of revelations, and super into “prophecy” in a wavy like gravy kind of way

If that’s his social media, shooter sounds like more of a radical libertarian.

Anti cop, anti courts, anti banks, pro drugs
