The Buffalo massacre, which took place in the United States yesterday and in which at least 10 people lost their lives, was broadcast live on the Twitch platform.
The Buffalo massacre that took place yesterday was broadcast live on Twitch. The armed attacks that took place in the United States of America (USA) are a fact that the whole world is aware of. However, the supermarket massacre that took place yesterday was inspired by 4chan, details of the plan were given on Discord and broadcast live on Twitch. At the center of the incident is an 18-year-old white male nicknamed “jimboboiii”; It’s Payton Gendron.
The Buffalo massacre was broadcast moment by moment on Twitch platform
According to the police report, Gendron planned all the details of the massacre plan on a private discord channel, and in his pre-slaughter manifesto he referred to what he read on 4chan. He then broadcast the massacre live on Twitch with the camera he brought with him. As soon as jimboboiii arrived in front of the supermarket belonging to the Tops Friendly Markets chain, he started shooting at people with a shotgun.
Payton Gendron opened fire on people, including a retired police officer, in the supermarket he entered. The police state that 11 of the 13 people targeted by the attacker were black, meaning it was a racist attack. The platform completely deleted the attacker’s Twitch channel named “jimboboii”.
We will see if the police will take action on those who watch the attacker’s broadcast or are on the private discord channel and are aware of his plan. We’ve also witnessed incidents where a Twitch streamer burned down their kitchen, but broadcasting a massacre live can give Twitch a headache.
