One of the replies to the tweet references him being sympathetic to terrorists. So...ISIS?

Besides, the media knew who the shooter was well before the tweet and were already on his social media.

precisely. There wasn't anything inherently racist or provocative about the supposed "original" tweet, unless you have an understanding of why asking that particular question would be inappropriate at that particular time. In order for a machine to have caught that and edited it, the machine would have had to understand the full context of "Is he white?" and how it is race baiting in this particular instance. I'm sure twitter has some pretty complex language crawling algorithms, but this seems like a stretch. I don't buy it.

Occam's razor folks...someone edited a screenshot

I think you're missing the part where CptBengal is a SCIENTIST.

The time stamp on the screenshot and the tweet is 2:26 pm for both. The screenshot is most definitely fake.

Time stamp is the same, Bunyan (or whoever took the original screenshot) is in a different time zone than you. You can tell because the screenshot shows "2m" for the original @madigoodman_ Tweet indicating the @harrisalexc reply and screenshot all took place less than two minutes after the original tweet. (Of course the screenshotter could've edited those too, but I suspect they left the details intact so people could flock to the original Tweet and leave outraged replies.)

She was apparently chasing any kid she could find on twitter. What a POS!

All of which were phrased like her tweet is currently phrased (without the white reference), not like the tweet the OP posted.

Conclusion? Someone edited her tweet.

Okay, she claims "Was he white?" was fake.
Does she claim trolling traumatized kids was fake as well?
