I don't recall where they all were, but I do remember there being a string of these power station shootings for a while. It's somewhat nice to know the reasoning behind it all now, though also more disturbing seeing how widespread it is and not just a couple of local yahoos. Both these women deserve to put away.
My unsureness was only about the level of responsibility for Durov, though it seems some of his charges are for his complicities in allowing things like this to continue and failing to cooperate with requests to do something from authorities. It does sound like he is now cooperating to turn over any evidence he may have about crimes arranged over Telegram, so why I don't feel this should give him a free pass, it's good he may allow other crimes to be prevented or prosecuted.
I don't follow much of this news lately, as I've just been overwhelmed by it becoming such a regular thing, so I've had to catch up on all these details.
It's the same logic as terrorists in the middle east, degrade government legitimacy by degrading services and protection. Then offer yourself as the alternative. It's fucked up but it can definitely work. We should not be laughing this shit off. FBI Counter-terror needs to turn it's attention inward because so much of what the alt-right is doing is terrorist stuff related to setting up an insurgency.
