For anyone still following this discussion: We now have evidence the shooting had nothing to do with Milos comments: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5898141/At-four-shot-gunman-Marylands-Capital-Gazette-newspaper-building.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5898141/At-four-shot... Yet at least two people on this thread are acting like there is credible evidence his tweets caused the shooting. This is the danger of fake news!

No, this is the danger to jumping to conclusions based on preconceptions. There are plenty of people whose minds were made up about the motives for this attack before being misled by false media accounts or 'fake news'.

  > There are plenty of people whose minds were made up about the motives for this attack before being misled by false media accounts or 'fake news'. How? Without the fake news how would any of this be linked to Milo? In fact without any of the fake news why would this be linked to the right wing at all? If CNNs headquarters were shot up I'd understand - but why would anyone on the right target a random small center-left newspaper? Preconceptions should at least make some sense!

At least one person on this thread is acting like publicly calling for violence is ok.

  Who? You aren't content just to consume fake news - now you are trying to produce your own fake narrative!
