So yesterday, tragedy struck the You Tube headquarters in San Bruno, CA. A woman opened fire on You Tube’s main work campus. This forced hundreds of employees and managers to either flee the building or take cover under their desks. But who would do this? You Tube shooting: About the suspect.
So the suspect’s name was Nasim Aghdam. She was 39 years old and from San Diego, CA. I say ‘was’ because at the end of her shooting spree, she turned the gun on herself. Furthermore, we learn Ashdam was a You Tube’er. In fact, she had over 10,000 subscribers at one time. She used the name ‘Nasime Sabz’. On her channel, she did everything from Middle Eastern dancing and speaking to crusading for animal rights. She also promoted her vegan diet and lifestyle.
But according to reports, recently, You Tube stopped paying for her videos. This deeply cut into her primary income. Then, Aghdam complained You Tube added age restrictions and other filters. It angered her when these filters brought her viewership down. Aghdam’s father saw how upset she was. That’s why he got so worried when she went missing. In fact, the day before this tragedy, the father warned police she might go to San Bruno with with intentions. Nasim Aghdam’s page is no more. They deleted it immediately following the shooting. This tragedy hit the whole IT service and IT support community.
The You Tube shooting rampage injured three people. One is in critical condition, one in serious, and one is in fair condition. You Tube and their parent company, Google, assure they’re cooperation with authorities, and comfort those directly affected and their loved ones. This brings up You Tube headquarters’ security. In fact, CBS journalist said despite him having to get a badge, he still just walked through without a metal detector. But what about the suspect? We should never blame You Tube or Google for this heinous act. Nasim Aghadam is to blame. She is the only one who deserves blame. The fact she took her own life rather then face justice or the victims is a sign of a sociopathic coward. I do feel pity for Ashdam’s father, but this cowardly, murderous act forever tarnished whatever legacy Nasim Aghadam? tried to leave behind. Am I being too harsh here?
