    “Why I Hate The World” is a strong channel name.

    How do you know he was subscribed to the Demolition Ranch youtube channel? Is that an assumption because he died in one of their t-shirts?

      I think it’s safe to assume that if he was wearing the merch of a youtube channel, then he was subscribed to the channel, or at least very familiar with the channel’s content, yes.

        It’s still an assumption, the shooter could have just been trying to blend in with the trump crowd rather then being a subscriber

          Are you assuming he hadn’t watched demolition ranch before? Why?

          (Better be as good as the inverse logic of ‘he’s a viewer because he wears their merch’)

            The entire point of this discussion is about MISINFORMATION

            Making assumptions directly leads to misinformation.

            So the person trying to be clear about what is known and unknown shouldn’t conflate a shirt with a subscriber.
