Redes sociales, el nuevo megáfono de los violentos

Tashfeen Malik, una de los perpetradores de la masacre en el sur de California, tiene una razón adicional para su triste celebridad: se sumó a la larga lista de extremistas y asesinos trastornados que difunden sus horrendos actos de violencia por las redes sociales.

Un directivo de Facebook dijo el viernes que Malik, bajo un alias, elogió al grupo Estado Islámico a través de la red social poco antes o tal vez durante el ataque mismo.

La publicación de Malik recuerda la de otros violentos que claman por atención, como un periodista de televisión de Virginia que se filmó cuando abrió fuego contra dos colegas y colocó el video en el internet, o un hombre de Florida que mató a su esposa y publicó una foto del cadáver en las redes sociales.

Por qué Estados Unidos lidera en el mundo en cuanto a tiroteos masivos

Este miércoles 2 de diciembre se registró un nuevo tiroteo, esta vez en San Bernardino, California. En 2015 ha habido otros tres: el 1 de octubre en Roseburg, Oregon (nueve muertos más el atacante); el 16 de julio en Chattanooga, Tennessee (cinco muertos más el atacante); y el 17 de junio en una iglesia de Charleston, Carolina del Sur (nueve muertos).

En otro hecho en agosto 2015, un pistolero abrió fuego contra dos reporteros en Virginia y contra la mujer a la que estaban entrevistando en televisión en vivo en agosto de 2015. El atacante estaba influenciado por una larga historia de asesinatos públicos masivos a lo largo del país.

El pistolero, Vester Lee Flanagan II, dijo que admiraba a los pistoleros masivos como al de la Escuela Secundaria de Columbine en 1999 y al de Virginia Tech en el 2007, y que él había dejado un depósito para un arma dos días después de que ocurriera el tiroteo en la iglesia de Charleston, Carolina del Sur, en junio.
