🇲🇽⚡️- The Teotihuacan Pyramid shooter, who killed one woman and himself, had generated AI images of himself with the Columbine shooters on the 27th anniversary of the shooting.

This shooting follows a trend of young, nihilistic individuals coalescing on social media platforms, looking to commit anti-social violence in grand, shocking, and proactive manners. Therefore, they seek to emulate past shootings that claimed large numbers of lives, along with the individuals honoring and revering past shooters, such as this recent shooting.

The shooting is supposed to be these individuals’ final act against society, in a psychopathic and sensational manner.
