> the suspected terrorist gunman appears to have been inspired by the forum website known as 8chan

Is this because he posted his manifesto on 8chan or other sources point to 8chan as the source of his extremism?

This is a good read if you are non-snarky and were really looking for an answer.

No it was a serious question. I read his very short manifesto and didn't see any mention of 8chan or obvious online sources of his extremism. I'll read more into it...
