Ok, didn't realise the shooter's race and gender were apparent from footage. They could have framed someone with a marginalized identity otherwise.

If he was framed by an algorithm, though, it was a pretty shitty algorithm. Luigi's political views were all over the place, and I don't remember any indications of him even supporting or advocating violence. Meanwhile there are still plenty of actual radical leftists on the internet. Was he really the most convincing scapegoat they could find? Pretty sure I could do better by manually scrolling Twitter.
