I wouldn’t call that in “unison.”
I mean, same thought process, yes. Posting it immediately after the event is not out of the norm.
Now, if the same exact phrase is used over and over again, then yes, that would be odd.

Let me guess, your retarded brain is telling you that Donald Trump convinced a Jewish Democrat to spend the rest of his life in prison because Trump really wants that ballroom that is being built anyways whether people like it or not?
Imbecile.

It is a long shot coincidence. Possibly random, but still very odd. But in order to better quantify those odds, you also need to include the chance that someone could change a date on twitter and make a post appear older than it really is.

Or just have X's AI verify the details. Which I did last night before ever creating this thread.

I've already given y'all the numbers on it.
You gave *a* number ("375 approximately)", with no explanation of how you came by that.

That's not how probabilities work. It's how loony conspiracy theorists *think* probabilities work.

How do you know that? Apparently one person did. And we don't know why, do we.

At a comedic roast setting, which is exactly what the correspondence dinner has always been, the context of this is fully understood. She’s not talking about actual gunfire. Nobody would think like that. Even in the initial headline posted here (pinned post) , I assumed it was things being said, because of the setting.

I love the new "correlation isnt causation" thing going around.
Well no shite theres no way to prove anything with odds. Theres an infinite number of possibilities.
The same account could have literally posted anything but he didnt. He posted the name of this dude with a picture from time travel as his background image.
"That doesnt mean anything!" You dont know what it means but it is a correlation. We at least have that. All you have is that its possible someone randomly named this guy with a singular Twitter post in an age when time travel is being more discussed and scientist are starting to say its possible.

But anyone could have posted anything, and someone will create a tenuous link to 'connect' them.
Someone else might have posted that date, thinking about commenting on a future anniversary (like their planned retirement date?), then stopped. Maybe some background image could be seen as having some connection to something/anything regarding this event. And then someone would try to say the post was 'connected' to this event. These 'connections' are made after the fact. It doesn't mean anything.
What would be the point of posting a name years ago, connected to an event that would have been unknown at the time? If it was a time traveler(!) rather than just some odd random posting, why would they do that?

There are well over 100 people alive who have the name Cole Allen.
It’s more likely that the tweet in OP is meaningless and unconnected to the shooter than anything else.

But bass, doesn't it make more sense that a time traveler did that?

For the sake of argument, let's assume the post is actually 3 years old, is not random and refers to the Cole Allen from last night. That doesn't automatically equate to time travel. Suppose that Cole Allen told someone 3 years ago he was going to try to assassinate Donald Trump. That person thought to themselves, "Okay, I'll take a flyer on that, start a twitter account and post this dudes name. If he follows through I'll gain some notoriety, maybe figure a way to profit from it."
I'm not even saying my contrived scenario is likely, just that it's one of an infinite number of possible associations between that post and last night's shooter. Even if the twitter post is naming Cole Allen from Torrance as an aspiring assassin, that doesn't automatically mean it was posted by someone with foreknowledge of a specific event.

Right. Here's another scenario - maybe that one-time mystery poster("OTMP") was actually posting about this specific Cole Allen. Maybe the OTMP knew this Cole Allen, and realized this Cole Allen was ranting and seemed possibly dangerous. Maybe OTMP started a post to warn others, then decided he was putting himself at risk, or some other reason to not post any more info, and just hit return and walked away.
Any number of possibilities. Occom is not a fan of the 'time traveler' explanation.
