Hey everyone,
First off, I want to say I'm really happy a new home has been found in voat. Whether or not this all turns out to be 100% real, it's an incredibly wild ride. Please do not write me off as a shill with this post. I have fought for truth in other conspiracies and I just want to make sure people are not exaggerating evidence, because doing so hurts the cause as a whole.
I have been surrounded by the acting industry since I was in the womb through my parents and my own brief experiences as a child and an adult. I have an IMDb profile with some minor credits. This does not mean that if I were a victim or a perpetrator** of a mass murder that my death/violence** is not real or that I am a paid actor. If my family members or friends are killed in a massacre, this does not mean their deaths are not real or that I am faking it.
IMDb credits are VERY easy to get and to make. I was involved with a couple of independent local films this summer that were shot with consumer-level home movie equipment that will likely not even leave the editing room (i.e. the shitty Dell laptop of one of the producers). Those are my most recent credits.
To come back to your favor as I'm certain I'm making a few people foam at the mouth at this point: When I heard about a craigslist posting in Jacksonville for crisis actors a day or two before a shooting, that was some creepy shit. I'm not discrediting that sometimes people get paid off to fake stuff. This recent guy's movie 'Something About Pizza' and being a gunman? Yeah, that's creepy as shit.
However, most of these ties to IMDb profiles reveal nothing except some people dabbled in one of the most glorified neo-American-Dream industries. Places like Orlando (or certain groups of people such as gays) are going to have a highly concentrated pool of entertainers because the region has historically had this demographic for decades.
I just want to make sure we always keep a level head with evidence and don't run off with emotion. This is an emotional subject. There are children's lives and sanity at stake here. But, as I know from researching and defending an extremely controversial well-known subject, the entire case is always hurt when weak evidence and/or complete falsehoods are spread. I'm not saying these leads are 100% wrong, but that we need to make sure to take certain matters with a grain of salt and look at the entire context.
**for the record this is an example and I have absolutely zero interest in any illegal harmful activities of this nature. I feel like with how the internet works these days this needs to be explicitly said.

That was added after the event. It's fake. Film from Luxembourg done by Oliver Koos, no relation whatsoever with this case.

I think that pretty much proves my point then. IMDb isn't even always accurate!
