PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — By now it’s as predictable as the calls for thoughts and prayers: A mass shooting leaves many dead, and wild conspiracy theories and...

“It’s a tactic that serves two purposes: It avoids real conversations about the issue , and it gives people who don’t want to face reality a patsy, it gives them someone to blame,” said Longoria, director of research at the Disinfo Defense League, a non-profit that works to fight racist misinformation.

The man who authorities say carried out the shooting, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, is a U.S. citizen, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a news conference on Tuesday. “BREAKING NEWS: THE IDENTITY OF THE SHOOTER HAS BEEN REVEALED,” claimed the user, saying the shooter was a “FEMBOY” with a channel on YouTube.

Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar fit both unfounded claims about Ramos in a single now-deleted tweet that also misspelled his name. “It’s a transsexual leftist illegal alien named Salvatore Ramos,” Gosar tweeted Tuesday night.In some cases, misinformation about mass shootings or other events are spread by well-intentioned social media users trying to be helpful. In other cases, it can be the work of grifters looking to start fake fundraisers or draw attention to their website or organization.

'I am going to shoot an elementary school', Uvalde suspect posted on Facebook before shootingNEW - The Uvalde shooting suspect posted on Facebook 30 minutes before the massacre, according to Governor Abbott.

In fact the governor was told about this too. This is inaccurate. They were private messages not posts.

It was not immediately clear whether any students had been killed in the shooting, but hospital officials said about a dozen children had been injured. Here we go again. Americans must pray more than any group I've ever heard of. THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. I guess GovAbbott needs to force more births to replace all the kids lost in school shootings. Unfortunately things will not change until our lawmakers and their families experience this kind of loss firsthand. EvilMopacATX Absolutely heartbreaking, and exhausting. Nothing ever changes. The tribes will start warring, they'll get people glued to TV's and nothing will happen. It'll be forgotten until the next tragedy. Rinse and repeat.
