(Jewish Group) Shooter at Bratislava LGBTQ bar called in manifesto for murder of all Jews
The man who opened fire outside of an LGBTQ bar in Slovakia on Wednesday was animated by the same ideas, including antisemitic beliefs, that have spurred multiple mass murderers in recent years.
The shooter, who killed two people and injured a third outside the Tepláreň bar in Bratislava, the countrys capital, was a radicalized teenager, according to the Slovakian president. He released a manifesto prior to the shooting and also outlined his beliefs on Twitter, where extremism watchdogs said he had been active for more than a year.
The shooters track record on Twitter raises questions about the effectiveness of Twitters content moderation and the platforms role in spreading white supremacist content, the Anti-Defamation Leagues Center on Extremism wrote in an analysis published Friday of the shooters manifesto and online profile. The analysis noted that the shooter, who was found dead on Thursday, had tweeted both about his plan to carry out an attack and to brag about having done so.
In the manifesto, the ADL said, the shooter expressed hatred for LGBTQ individuals, saying that they groom children, and support for great replacement theory, the idea that Jews are orchestrating a campaign to replace white people with people of color. He also used multiple phrases coined by neo-Nazi groups and called for the genocide of Jews, according to the ADLs analysis.

Once again, anti-Semitism is a factor. Hopefully this time, if someone gets a bug up their ass to complain about an article like this, the authors and the site won't back down, and, in stead, will tell the complainer to "fuck off!".
