They're definitely in shock, and are going to great lengths.

> It's easy to find the video and manifesto.

Link? (Actually, probably don't...IDK how HN mods would react to that.)

I've read through a dozen pages of search results...nothing.

I'm with you. It's really hard to find. Even liveleak isn't carrying it.
Then you're google-fu is not very good. I easily found the manifesto and a 40s video of the massacre.
If you are actually looking for a copy, please reach out to me via email.
The manifesto is very easy to find in google (at least it was a few days ago). Not sure why you want to watch a video where 40 people are shot, documentation of historical significant massacres like the holocaust are hard enough to watch.
You asking for links just proves how dangerous this media is.

People are driven to fill their own sadistic curiosity with more information and media, I myself am guilty of this btw.

The manifesto is what you would expect from a sociopath driven by his own self importance.

This type of virality is unstoppable, this shooter was very familiar with how memes work. By consuming his media we are in essence taking the bait.

At this point I'm choosing to self censor and would encourage others to do the same.
