YouTube shooter reignites debate–

Early yesterday, a shooter attacked the YouTube campus in San Bruno, California. While no one except the shooterwas killed, it reignited the debate on gun control and Islamophob­ia. Christiano Ronaldo scored a stunning bicycle kick goal, earning applause from the opposing team’s head coach and supporters. # LoveAMusli­m continued to trend as social media users tried to fight bigotry.

@ robbystarb­uck:

When Iwatch this video of the YouTube HQ San Bruno shooter Nasim Aghdam, it seems explicitly clear that a mental health crisis is the problemwe’re facing. Another mentally ill killer who ended up an extremist. Very sad.

@ PhillyD:

The YouTube HQ shooter has been identified. It appears that she was angry at YouTube. She claimed her videos were being unjustly age- restricted and accused YouTube of suppressin­g her videos. I’m disgusted, furious, and heartbroke­n.

@ SusanWojci­cki:

There are no words to describe how horrible it was to have an active shooter @ YouTube. Our deepest gratitude to law enforcemen­t & first responders for their rapid response... We will come together to heal as a family.

@ FootbalISt­uff:

Cristiano Ronaldo jumped to 2.3m( 7 feet 7 inches) for his overhead kick goal vs Juventus.

@ rhydoremmy­23:

[ Juventus player] Chiellini on Ronaldo: What he has done tonight will be talked about for decades and decades. I’ve never heard the fans of Turin applaud an opposing team player until tonight.

@ Soulkid_:

Only 3 players in football history have received a standing ovation from away fans playing away from home: 1. Maradona 2. Ronaldinho 3. Cristiano Ronaldo

@ gregorycen­dana:

I will not allow anyone’s Islamophob­ia, racism & xenophobia to divide us. I will stand up & speak out formy Muslim brothers & sisters. I will build bridges not walls, throw glitter not bombs & do all that I can to drive out hate. Today & everyday, I will # LoveAMusli­m.

@ keren_ soffer:

I’m an Arab Jew and I lovemy Muslim neighbours fiercely. In my family’s case, that love goes back 2,500 years ( just saying!). I’m proud to be part of a Jewish community that’s spending time outside of Muslim spaces and masjids to say # LoveAMusli­m.

@ GWillowWil­son:

I’d like to spare amoment for our Sikh cousins who continue to suffer from bigotry by associatio­n, sometimes payingwith their lives, yet who have stood by us from the beginning. 185,729 people reached
