American Thinker:
Nasim Aghdam is a 21st-century Willy Loman, the hapless protagonist of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman.
The eccentric vegan activist who shot up the headquarters of online video giant YouTube epitomized today’s forgotten man – or, perhaps, the forgotten woman, as is the more accurate case.
Not long after Aghdam’s shooting, which left none dead but herself, did her attempted murder spree drop from headlines. At a time when any crime involving a firearm is scrupulously deconstructed to establish a case for curtailing the Second Amendment, Aghdam’s was not. This, despite her easily purchasing a 9mm Smith and Wesson under her own name at a local dealer shortly before her fatal scheme.
Surely, the breeziness with which she bought a gun, ambled into a corporate headquarters, and sprayed the place with bullets, while even affording herself enough time to replace an empty magazine, should have inspired yet another gun-control march on the National Mall. But there was nothing. Even in death, Aghdam was ignored. She made it into the paper but still fell into her “grave like an old dog.”
Aghdam’s obvious mental illness wasn’t even trotted out as an excuse. And judging by her strange, pastel-colored, and overly artsy videos, it was clear she had a screw or two loose. This was not undiscovered genius; a tortured Van Gogh she was not. Aghdam was like many aspiring YouTube personalities: obsessive about her craft to the point of it becoming an indulgence.
And yet, somehow, it paid. Otherwise, why would she be driven violently mad? In an online message written under a nom de plume, Aghdam railed against the source of her penury: “Youtube filtered my channels to keep them from getting views! There is no equal growth opportunity on YOUTUBE or any other video sharing site, your channel will grow if they want to!!!!!” MORE
Well Q saying to look at the father
I don’t believe she was crazy. Sorry something else is wrong with this investigation. Need to check her Muslim father and family.
Dead muzz. Ok.
I’ve got nothing to add. Other than to other muzzies.
She’s a good role model and a bad shot until turning the weapon on herself Nice shot honey. The rest of you muzzholes should take a lesson.
Let me think. My videos are not making much money. Should I get a real job, or drive 500 miles and shoot everyone I can?
No, no mental illness here….
Well, if it were Diamond and Silk that shot the place up I think we’d all be in their corner.
Diamond and Silk would *never* shoot the place up. They are far too classy.
…..Lady in Red

You’re missing the point.
If only she could have figured out a way to get Corry’s Slug and Snail Killer (available at Lowe’s) to advertise on a web site. Or maybe Quicken Loans? Or even Young Asian Women in My Area Who Want to Meet Old Farts Like Me. Oh well.
