Kash Patel Just Invited SPLC To Demonstrate Their Importance (and His Negligence) - emptywheel
"The FBI was tipped off about Desmond Holly's online activity in July, the agency confirmed to Fox News Digital, although his identity was not known at the time. 'We continued to work this assessment investigation to identify the name and location of the user up and until September 10, 2025,' an FBI statement said."
"Holly killed himself in the attack, so there were no criminal charges to explain the case. Just another day in America, where one mass shooting quickly gets overshadowed by the next."
"The much more prominent murder the same day of Charlie Kirk, in which Tyler Robinson allegedly used his grandparent's gun, sucked up and continues to suck up all the media attention."
"The FBI was tipped off to the danger Holly posed, but Kash Patel's FBI - which had diverted Agents to snatching brown grannies and had ousted violent crime supervisors for refusing to perp walk Jim Comey."
Desmond Holly shot up Evergreen High School, injuring two students and later killing himself. The incident received little media coverage, overshadowed by other events. Reports emerged about the hospital release of one victim and the decision not to charge Holly's parents. The FBI had been alerted to Holly's radicalization months before the attack but could not identify him in time for intervention. The case highlights issues of media focus and the challenges of addressing potential threats.
