A little contradictory, I concur.

Does claiming someone is a member of ISIS automatically make you a right-wing conspiracy theorist or is it different under these circumstances?

How is the number 40% actually determined, surely it must be an assumption from scrolling through the feed for a little while? To my knowledge it's difficult (near impossible without 3rd party tools) to determine in real-time the number of tweets pertaining to a certain topic.

I thought it was clear from my post i was guesstimating. I don't typically do rigorous analysis of what I see in twitter results, so I'll just say, it seemed like a lot of right wing accounts implying that media was covering up the shooting, or that the shooter was actually motivated by radical islam.

Right, this statement, if were used by the original post, to me, is quite accurate.
