As I just posted elsewhere, isn't YouTube a Liberal haven protected by Gun Free Zone signs? Doesn't California have the strictest state-sanctioned gun laws in the country? I am mystified. Gun legislation works, right? Everyone says we need more gun laws, it'll stop these crimes, except...well...

Gunshots reported at YouTube headquarters in California

Gunshots were reported at YouTube headquarters in California on Tuesday as police rushed to the scene.

Users on social media indicated that ambulances were arriving and nearby offices were on lockdown. Many claimed there was an "active shooter," but police did not immediately confirm it.

San Bruno Police confirmed on Twitter that they were responding to an active shooter. They previously tweeted there was police activity at 901 Cherry Ave., where the company’s campus is located. They advised the public to “stay out of the area."
 
Reports are a female shooter. If she makes a penny less than any man working there, the media might turn her into Rosa Parks.

Let me be the first to state that I do not blame her Muslim heritage for this attack. She sounds bat **** crazy. Her motives were to strike back at censorship, and should be a lesson to those new media moguls who are attempting to control the public discourse. There will be blow back, albeit tragic in this case.

The suspect in a gun attack at YouTube's HQ in California had expressed anger over its treatment of her video postings, media reports say.

Police have named Nasim Aghdam, 39, as the suspect but say they are still investigating a motive.

US media say Aghdam was angry that YouTube was filtering her videos and reducing the money she could make.

Tuesday's attack left a man and two women injured with gunshot wounds. The attacker shot herself dead.

Police in San Bruno, California, say there is no evidence yet that the attacker knew the victims, a 36-year-old man said to be in a critical condition, and two women aged 32 and 27.

What do we know of the suspect?

Nasim Aghdam lived in San Diego in southern California.

Vegan bodybuilder with a vast online presence

Police have revealed few details about her but US media said she ran a number of channels and a website, posting videos on a variety of subjects including those highlighting animal cruelty. The channels have now been deleted.

Aghdam has been variously described as a vegan bodybuilder, artist and rapper.

In January 2017 she posted a video complaining that YouTube was filtering her content, leading to fewer views.

On her website she also ranted against YouTube, saying: "Videos of targeted users are filtered and merely relegated, so that people can hardly see their videos."

She also quotes Adolf Hitler, saying: "Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it."

She also wrote: "There is no equal growth opportunity on YouTube or any other video sharing site. Your channel will grow if they want [it] to!"

Aghdam's father, Ismail, told local US media she was angry because YouTube had stopped paying her for videos.

Video posters can receive money from linked advertisements but the company can "de-monetise" channels for various reasons, taking adverts off. It is unclear if this happened with Aghdam's material.

Her father said Aghdam had been reported missing on Monday after not answering calls for two days. Police later found her sleeping in her car in Mountain View, 25km (15 miles) south of the YouTube offices in San Bruno and reported this to her family, but they did not detain her.

Her father told police she might go to YouTube as she "hated the company", local media said.

YouTube terminated her account following the shooting. Her Instagram and Facebook accounts have also been removed.

However, many Twitter users posted her Facebook video rant against YouTube:
Skip Twitter post by @r0eland
 
So will the media portray this as the act of a deranged individual, (yes it was), or evil tool she used to carry out her attack?

the media will twist this to "**** THE NRA!"
 
Hit.
I never got monetized for my cooking videos even though YouTube registered me but you don't see me shooting up the place.
