There are a lot of far right commentators sharing this horrific story and highlighting the fact the perpetrators are Black.

But there are also more mainstream conservatives sharing this story including from outlets like the Daily Caller and GOP operatives. In some cases, they're cooying videos taken directly from the far right explicitly racist voices including popular Gab and Telegram accounts.
Anyone who truly though Anwar's life mattered, would not use his death to make straw man arguments in some unrelated political argument.
You're right I am making this up and no one is using this man's tragic death to push racist narratives. 
Tweeting about this - without even @'ing anyone made my mentions an instant dumpster fire including with accounts like the one I highlighted above. 13 followers. No real name.
There is clearly an inorganic element driving some of these far right narratives - but that's the thing - the slightly more mainstream outlets and political operatives happily work in conjunction with that.
And then stuff like this happens. Not necessarily inorganic, but just vile. But again, some more mainstream conservatives are part of these conversations that include people just below the surface being explicitly racist and making violent threats.
Just totally organic, normal Twitter activity around this case.
If you want a perfect example of someone who has had a more mainstream platform and gladly participates in stoking more far right narratives and crowds of trolls look no further than Siraj! Hi Siraj!

What he'll do is try to extend a pileon here that is half filled with folks straight out of Gab being explicitly racist but probably not actually comment on the issue itself. But its just a cute, funny Twitter "list" right?
