Fredrick Brennan repeats his call for the site to be closed, saying 'I should have shut it down when I had the chance'.
8CHAN. Fredrick Brennan, creator of imageboard website 8chan, speaks during an interview with AFP in Manila on August 6, 2019. Photo by Ted Aljibe/AFPwebsite linked to deadly US mass shootings said Tuesday, August 6, he hoped the El Paso carnage would be the"final nail in the coffin" for the forum, which he accused of harboring"domestic terrorists."
On Saturday, August 3, a young white male suspect was believed to have posted on the site a manifesto denouncing a"Hispanic invasion" of El Paso, shortly before going on a shooting spree at a Walmart store in the US border city, killing 22 people."Obviously he is a domestic terrorist. What else can you call him? He killed American citizens, he hates American society as it is set up," said the 25-year-old.
"There's so many things he could have done...and he didn't do any of them," he said, including temporarily shutting the site as a warning to users, instead of only deleting the reported El Paso post.
