I don't know of any specifics off the top of my head but shooters have definitely had their postings / manifestos / videos they shared on 4chan used in court
The FBI is definitely using 4chan for evidence, after the fact: https://www.thedailybeast.com/greenwood-mall-shooter-jonathan-sapirman-appeared-to-post-chilling-message-on-4chan-with-nazi-imagery
the more relevant question is, why is the FBI not interested in using 4chan to stop shooters proactively
maybe they want the culture war tension to be kept high, maybe the FBI is just chock full of weird right wing mormons who just don't care about targeted minorities, but whatever it is it definitely seems like allowing this shit to happen is fine by them
It's almost like 4chan creates the conditions to create random outbreaks of violence to keep the general populace afraid of each other, just randomly or "stochastically"
It’s not even like it’s just leftists that dislike 4chan. From all of the misery that has been sourced from that hellhole, even my parents or just your average lib wants it shut down.
4chan literally idolizes and promotes criminal activity but gets a free pass because "Wow so KEWL! THEY FUNNY TOO!" Furthermore, 4chan has made it clear that white people, rich people, and Christians are the ONLY three sacred cows that can never be criticized there. It is most certainly a CIA branch of COINTELPRO.
IDK if /leftypol/ is a good off-shoot, but damn am I happy that a site like this exists so I don't feel crazy for thinking that people should not be murdered based on the color of their skin for the pleasure of another people with a specific skin color.
Its amazing what the US will ban but cant just shut down 4chan, clearly a net negative for society.
The only conclusion i can come up with is that 4chan is a honeypot and its preferable to everyone on their own discord or other fragmented sms
This much is for certain
But the feds dont seem to do shit with it
I think they're content to let people incriminate themselves and log it for later
Has 4chan posting ever shown up in court anywhere? I guess beyond dumdums posting their manifestos that is. Not trying to argue with u just curious

Yeah tf i cant see a reason you'd want this to happen

If anything the feds stoke it. They're on the same side as the fascists, don't forget.
Why would you cut off your own arm? Think about it
