The shooter at YouTube's San Bruno HQ has been identified as Nasim Aghdam. Also, we found that Aghdam was a radical PETA supporter.

From ABC7 San Francisco:

SAN BRUNO, Calif. (KGO) -- Chaos erupted on the YouTube campus in San Bruno Tuesday afternoon when an alleged female shooter entered the campus and opened fire, wounding three employees.

ABC7 News sources confirm the YouTube shooter was a user of the platform. Nasim Aghdam has a website with an alleged manifesto that targets YouTube for censorship and demonetization of her video content.

Most importantly, ABC7 reports that "Aghdam is said to have no relationship with anyone in the YouTube facility." This is significant because nearly all earlier reports said she may have been targeting a male YouTube employee in a "domestic dispute." The fact that her own website indicates otherwise is chilling.   More at ABC7

You can watch a video by Aghdam here, in which she rants about how YouTube has demonetized some of her videos and complains that her videos were "filtered," causing reduced views. According to NBC Bay Area, "The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit has also learned the license plate on a car towed from YouTube’s campus Tuesday is registered to Aghdam. In 2014, she posted a video on YouTube of what appears to be the same car, stating that it was vandalized by 'anti-vegans' because the car had a sign saying 'meat is murder.'" More at NBC Bay Area.

While researching Aghdam, Chicago News Bench found 2009 article in The San Diego Union that featured a photo of Nasim Aghdam protesting with the radical group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Nasim Aghdam, then 29, wore a wig and jeans "with large blood drops painted on them" as she protested with other PETA members at Camp Pendelton on August 12, 2009.

The San Diego Union quoted Aghdam as saying, “For me, animal rights equal human rights.”

I'm no psychologist, but in my layman's opinion it would seem that Ms. Aghdam was mentally unbalanced.

Female YouTube Shooter Identified as Nasim Aghdam, PETA Warrior (Chicago News Bench)

A good summary of the shooting comes from The Guardian (UK) this evening:

"The San Bruno police chief, Ed Barberini, said during a news conference that police had responded to 911 calls from the Silicon Valley tech campus and discovered a woman, whom they believed to be the shooter, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Barberini did not release any information about a possible motive or the suspect’s identity, but said the attack was carried out with a handgun and that there was no further threat to the public."

"Four people were transported to local hospitals, police said, including three with gunshot wounds. The three are being treated at San Francisco General hospital, a spokesman confirmed, including a 36-year-old man in critical condition and a 32-year-old woman in serious condition. It was not immediately clear where the fourth victim was being treated and in what condition." More at The Guardian.

Earlier: 

"Two separate law enforcement sources told ABC7 News that the shooter is a white, adult female wearing a dark top and head scarf." ABC7 reported that the shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Note that a scarf does not necessarily indicate that the shooter was Muslim: It could have been meant as a disguise or to control her hair.

Holiday Barbeque? Enjoy That Meat, But Watch This First

Mmmmm, meat, the tasty treat that PETA freaks won't eat. The videos below will help you enjoy that grilled meat just a little bit more. The videos are by Penn and Teller, from their show "Bulls--t," and it shows you just how insanely criminal the hardcore of PETA are. So grill it up, brush some sauce on that meat, and know that your culinary enjoyment is pissing off some crazed lunatics. Yep, PETA is really a bunch of criminally insane fanatics. They're not just about being nice to Kitty and Puppy - they're about ego, power and firebombing. Oh, also remember that many of your friends and relatives - maybe even you - are alive because of the benefits of animal research. That, of course, allows more people the opportunity to enjoy a slab of ribs this weekend. LANGUAGE ADVISORY. It gets rough. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgZ0dSiTGdI Cool Hats & Shirts for Cool Conservatives Leave a Comment... Chicago News Bench RSS Feed We're on Twitter...

Huge Civil Rights Setback

This is serious. After millions of years on this planet, most primates are still denied the right to sue in a court of law. Is that fair? SAN ANTONIO — A Texas appeals court has affirmed a lower court decision that nine chimpanzees and monkeys that were brought to the Primarily Primates sanctuary in 2006 don't have a legal right to sue.

Lunatics for Joe Moore, Part One, footnote

Dear Ms. Rainbolt-Kren , I am responding to your comment here because you left it on an unrelated posting of mine. Your comment had nothing to do with the Olympics. Rather, it was in response to my posting entitled "Lunatics for Joe Moore, Part One." Nevertheless, I appreciate the fact that you wrote; your comments appear below: Sheree Rainbolt-Kren has left a new comment on your post "Olympics In Chicago? Not So Fast...": Hello Friend, Thanks for leaving a comment on my WHY ORGANIC blog. I did use paragraphs, but the blog didn't use them. ??? go figure. And it refuses to fix. I am still working on it. I hope you will take a little bit of time to look at what is truly happening to animals. I know you are not insensitive. It's truly horrific. I have some links on my blog and you can also see many at PETA. It's so mindblowing. You have no idea. Please don't make jokes. There is a price to be paid for making light of these very serious matters. You don't want to pay it, trust me. I wish you light. Sheree Posted by Sheree Rainbolt-Kren to Rogers Park Bench at 3/07/2007 11:28 AM When you wrote, "There is a price to be paid for making light of these very serious matters. You don't want to pay it, trust me," it sounded like a threat. Are you threatening me? Some of you PETA kids get violent now and then. I quite agree with you that cruelty to animals is a horrible thing. But there re already thousands of folks such as yourself, organizations such as PETA, and state and federal legislators already working on solutions to the problem. You must agree that it is a waste of an alderman's time to duplicate the work that is already being carried on. Aldermen (members of a city council) are not elected (hired) to do the work of state legislators, federal regulators, or members of Congress. They are hired/elected to fix potholes, help fight crime, assist local businesses, and help their constituents locally. I sympathize with your cause. But in Chicago, some of us have a problem with Alderman Joe Moore: He was hired to look after a 2-square mile ward, not take on national or international issues. Additionally, he has been proven time and again to be a liar and has been caught red-handed flouting election laws and rules. If Joe Moore wants to tell us that our school lunches are "poison," as you do on your blog, that's a local issue he could take up. But foie gras has no relevance to this aldermanic ward. There are no geese being raised here, no foie gras being made here, and no foie gras being sold here. Well, I'm off to grab a burger.

PETA Trial, Day 3

By the way, Chicago Alderman Joe Moore loves these people. "Adria and Andy were simply doing their jobs to euthanize the animals."That's Blair Brown -- a lawyer for one of two PETA employees on trial for felony animal cruelty -- virtually summing up the defense's strategy during his opening statement yesterday. Brown and the rest of PETA's legal team don't deny that the two defendants -- Adria Hinkle and Andrew Cook -- killed (at least) 31 dogs and kittens in June 2005. They don't deny that the two threw the dead bodies into a dumpster. And they don't deny that what Hinkle and Cook did is standard practice for a group that wants constitutional rights for pigs."
