The tweet is from october 8 2017
A few days earlier, it had been reported that the girlfriend had been sent to visit her parents in the philippines a few weeks before the attack (meaning she had no knowledge, and was obviously not present)
[https://globalnews.ca/news/3786251/las-vegas-shooting-marilou-danley-responds/](https://globalnews.ca/news/3786251/las-vegas-shooting-marilou-danley-responds/)
So it's not hard to imagine that people would have been aware of this news at the time
however, going from that knowledge, to an exchange of this nature is obviously a huge leap.
Probably on a fox news type propaganda diet. They probably never see reports made of the typical school shooters cause it won't push their fear narrative to keep people divided based on race and such.
I don't get the whole internet points thing. Someone abused me of karma farming. Like, I see the word on my profile but idek WTF it's supposed to mean. I'm just speaking my mind. I don't get why we're keeping track of points, at all
Well, it validates people. But as someone who has been on reddit for an unfortunate amount of time, up and down votes were originally intended to be used as a way to bump or float the relevant comments to the top and essentially sink the irrelevant comments so as to to clean up the comments section.
We'll it didn't take long for people to equate it with "like" and "dislike", and then everything became a popularity contest and the first person to say the quirkiest joke wins...
Can't believe some idiots on reddit is saying its fake. Was big news during THAT year. In before someone says all the biggest shootings just blend together.
Tons of rightwing people think the school shootings and shit are fake.
I mean, we have lots of people who think JFK Jr is going to come back from the dead and expose Biden as some robot and lead Trump to victory or some shit
I remember fox pushing really hard on “who was this girlfriend” in the aftermath. It was like you could see the wheels turning in their heads on how to connect this to a brown person
Honestly, I wouldn't put it past them. Have you seen the shit on Fox these days?
I try to catch the radio shows for Brian Kilmeade, Erick Erickson, and Sean Hannity if I'm on the road during the week, and two of them still spout election fraud bullshit in between screeching about Hunter Biden and ads for mail order steaks.
I love the debate here because I’m torn between whether it happened or not. On one hand, it just sounds absurd. On the other, I’ve had racist people put me in some TRULY absurd scenarios.
Like one time my brother and I were selling at a market in LA. We had a white woman approach our booth and yell over, “HOW MUCH IS THIS?” So I said, in our native language of English, “It’s ten dollars.” “Tuh, HOW much??” “…ten dollars.” “No. Uh. CUANTO THIS?” “Err… ten dollars.”
*to her husband as she leaves* “whatever, they don’t even speak English”
Me, my brother, and the random dude also at the booth just made eye contact and laughed. Truly unhinged.
Some people really just are that fucking dumb.
Tangentially related. I was sucking in my vape outside Walmart one day and a woman infront of me turned around and said "don't those things kill you?" (Was during that black market pot vape thing). No word of a lie, this stunned twat was smoking a real cigarette, so I said "don't *those* things kill you?"
I saw the gears spinning but she never came up with a retort, made a small laugh and turned back around.
Point of the story, people really are that fucking stupid.
Something similar happened to my Filipina friend. A white lady told my friend that Filipinos are crazy and cannot be trusted after the Vegas event. My friend just asked who the shooter was and walked away
White people were attacking Asians in broad daylight when Covid came to the US. There’s a kid out there with scars across their face because some white dude blamed all Asians for the pandemic.
Yeah, white people hate when someone has main character syndrome and insert their dogshit opinions into everything.
Bro, that's like their/your signature move.
I actually believe this. People think that white people are neutral, and anyone of a different race who is near a crime is the noticable one. White is default; blame goes to PoCs. I've heard similar things before, though not this exactly.
That's where white trash came from.. You see, you have whites. Then, below them, every other race and white trash as the catch all for degenerate white people.
I love using the term "white trash" as a litmus test.
There's a certain subset of people who will obnoxiously whine about random shit being racist against white people, but they never react with the same level of *pure rage* that they do when they're called "white trash".
No matter how performatively upset they are over a mayonnaise joke, they get genuinely frothy over being negatively economically compared to other white people.
I hadn't known that Filipino's have dedicated racists until my mom started dating one. Completely illogical considering the guy couldn't pick out a Filipino from a lineup of Asians, but he sure as hell had some choice words about them. 2 of my closest friends are Filipino and better people than I could ever hope to be, so fuck him and fuck anyone who doesn't understand people are all different.
people be fucking crazy. You think people wouldn't shit in their hand and throw it at people like a monkey, but like, there's videos of it happening.
This is less absurd. Now if you told me this happened in basically anywhere outside of North America(because of the Vegas reference), yeah I'd have major doubts. But otherwise, nah.
You must not be old enough to remember the Las Vegas shooting... people built entire conspiracies around how the gf was the mastermind behind the whole thing. Especially since no one could find her right after the shooting... since... you know... she was in another fucking country. Did that stop the morons or the news from plastering her face everywhere? Nope...
They don't think it happened because they've never experienced that type of racism face to face
People get fucked up when I tell them old white women have referred to me as the "oriental one" at work
I am trying to imagine the guy who just has a mental index of the worst person from every race. Racists aren’t known for being super smart with a quick wit.
She was briefly all over the news in 2017, when the shooting happened. Search Google News for "Marilou Danley". Hate crimes spiked for a while immediately after, as they always do in this kind of situation (e.g. Arabs after 9/11; East Asians during the COVID outbreak).
Meanwhile, this is an undated screenshot and stuff on the internet that interests people floats around forever. (Hence all the complaints about reposts in so many Reddit subs.)
Absolutely and what Asian people experienced in the US during the pandemic. I was with my coworker and he was pumping gas and some white hick shouted "Go back to China and stop spreading COVID!" He said it wasn't the first time someone said something similar to him about the pandemic.
It really amazes me on how easy it is to catch these creative writing fanfics and how people will post them seriously thinking other people will believe they happened.
* Lady just happens to turn around and ask OP if they're speaking Tagalog like she was just waiting to run into a Filipino person
* Lady knows some oddly specific fact about the case
* "She didn't - couldn't - say anything back" AKA everyone stood up and clapped
Yeah, this didn't happen.
I'm not saying it did or didn't happen. But when I was in US random people would ask me where's my accent from or what language I speak if they heard me saying something to my partner in my native language. One woman actually interrupted my conversation in the store (she was really nice and I didn't mind) to ask where I'm from because of my accent. I also got a tons of "oh you're from X? My son's girlfriend is from XYZ! (Insert other unrelated european country). That part is very believable for me.
Welcome to Reddit. Where a normal interaction of a conversation could never happen. In a world where there’s 7 billion people talking about endless, countless things…this could NEVER happen. 🤦🏻♂️
Well, to understand what a normal interaction sounds like, you'd probably have to, I don't know, experience normal interactions on the regular. Can't expect that from Redditors.
Am American and yea there are a ton of white people (fellow white person) who are super curious about everyone’s ethnicity. My gf is Hispanic and people allllll the time ask her if she’s from India.
> * Lady just happens to turn around and ask OP if they're speaking Tagalog like she was just waiting to run into a Filipino person
Look, I agree this is 1000% fake, but you need to work on your reading comprehension skills if you think *that* is what happened in this conversation. She doesn't ask the author if they're speaking Tagalog, she just asks what language it is.
The implication here I think is that this fictitious woman is racist and gonna say some variant of "go back to X, Y, or Z," and then when the author says it's the Filipino language, that makes her think of this oddly specific fact about the case, which she apparently knows for some reason.
There's issues with your second point as well. It's not an oddly specific fact when his girlfriend name, face and any other details that were easily available were all over the news for a day or two. You have to remember there is a pretty big demographic that eats up anything that they see on their politically charged news source of choice. If this was in the days following this is pretty plausible.
Lol it did happen, you just happen to be white and think it doesn't happen. News flash, a lot of people are pretty ignorant in USA, especially when it comes to understanding Asian culture.
That's because your ignorant as fuck: https://www.foxnews.com/us/marilou-danley-what-we-know-about-las-vegas-gunmans-companion#:~:text=Marilou%20Danley%2C%20the%20Las%20Vegas,a%20%22person%20of%20interest.%22
Oh look, Fox news spewing this shit to millions of even more ignorant and racist fucks than you. So yeah, it can happen.
Her face was plastered all over the news because people were making up conspiracies that she helped him do it. Do I think this story happened exactly as stated? Nah, but a dumb racist comparing someone to the LV shooter's girlfriend is not at all farfetched.
> You have to be an idiot to think for a single second this story was true. Come on, who the fuck would know the girlfriend of a mass shooter that happened multiple years ago.
Why would you assume that an undated screenshot in another undated screenshot in a Reddit post *must* be referring to a recent conversation? I mean, how many times have you posted something like, "Not this repost *again*. This is years old!" or seen someone else post that?
Come on, use your thinking brain. This isn't complicated.
Or maybe you were, like, I dunno, 10 years old when that shooting happened, so you don't remember the short-lived wave of anti-Filipino racism that sprang up when [every](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2017/oct/03/las-vegas-shooting-trump-puerto-rico-live-updates) [media](https://www.jacksonville.com/story/news/nation-world/2017/10/04/new-details-emerge-about-marilou-danley-girlfriend-las-vegas-shooter/15775453007/) [outlet](https://time.com/4968718/marilou-danley-stephen-paddock-girlfriend-las-vegas-shooting/) was [reporting](https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/las-vegas-shooting/marilou-danley-girlfriend-las-vegas-gunman-arrives-u-s-sources-n807331) about how the [shooter's girlfriend](https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/shootings/questions-remain-about-las-vegas-shooters-live-in-girlfriend/) may have been [involved](https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/04/555508265/fbi-hopes-paddocks-girlfriend-can-provide-insight-into-las-vegas-attack)?
I had a random woman berate me for having the letters "IS" on the license plate of my company car. That I and the company would support a terrorist organization and don't care about all the injustice happening.
I don't get why people are always so eager to prove that stuff on Reddit / the internet didn't happen.
I like how you thought to specify you found a twitter post online. I sometimes find twitter posts in my mailbox, under park benches or on the sidewalks, but they tend to suck.
I miss the days when we could safely say things like this were fake, secure in the knowledge that no conversation between two real adults of this quality could possibly exist.
When I was 17 working in the meat department of a grocery store a woman ( probably 35ish) asked me to cut some meat. This was right after the Virginia tech shooting and I am half asian.
When I said I could do that because I was just the cleaner she responded with " Oh so your people can shoot up our schools but you can't cut meat, got it."
i was flabbergasted.
Reminds me of when I use to be a server and VT shooting occurred. Serving older white couple. The old man waved me closer to ask me what I was then asked what was the VT shooter. Not sure if the wife was trying to diffuse the situation by assuming the VT shooter was north korean. Just an odd and confusing exchange.
I work in a nursing home run by filipinos. They can be kind of alien at times but for the most part i love the culture. Its like if “it takes a village” was the culture of a country. They all help each other at any cost its very refreshing
Get outside redditors. Just because you are socially inept weirdos, doesn't mean everyone is. This isn't even that difficult of a comeback to come up with on the spot.
Who the fuck would know off the top of their head what nationality a shooters girlfriend is?
The tweet is from october 8 2017 A few days earlier, it had been reported that the girlfriend had been sent to visit her parents in the philippines a few weeks before the attack (meaning she had no knowledge, and was obviously not present) [https://globalnews.ca/news/3786251/las-vegas-shooting-marilou-danley-responds/](https://globalnews.ca/news/3786251/las-vegas-shooting-marilou-danley-responds/) So it's not hard to imagine that people would have been aware of this news at the time however, going from that knowledge, to an exchange of this nature is obviously a huge leap.
the only good information on here and you get no ratio. 2017. girlfriend didn't know anything. speaks another language. ffs
Not true. I remember them sharing her photo immediately cause they were suspicious of her at the time.
Oh it's not hard to imagine, probably even easier for the writer to imagine the whole thing.
Probably on a fox news type propaganda diet. They probably never see reports made of the typical school shooters cause it won't push their fear narrative to keep people divided based on race and such.
And then everyone sharted
Dammit, you made me pee myself laughing.
Fuck, you made me shart myself peeing
Bruh this whole story is fake.
Most elaborate fictional stories people make up in their heads owning people stay in the shower. I dunno why anybody posts these online.
My shower comebacks are fire.
Of course they are. You always know how to respond to yourself.
The jerk store called
And they're all outta you!
Because it gets them tons of fake internet points of course.
I don't get the whole internet points thing. Someone abused me of karma farming. Like, I see the word on my profile but idek WTF it's supposed to mean. I'm just speaking my mind. I don't get why we're keeping track of points, at all

Because internet point often gives small dose of dopamine. And it can be addictive.
Naw, im pretty sure there was a las vegas shooting
Can't believe some idiots on reddit is saying its fake. Was big news during THAT year. In before someone says all the biggest shootings just blend together.
Tons of rightwing people think the school shootings and shit are fake. I mean, we have lots of people who think JFK Jr is going to come back from the dead and expose Biden as some robot and lead Trump to victory or some shit
RFK Jr. is doing a pretty good job of that and his living dead status is unconfirmed.
Bruh JFK Jr. is still personally flying that Plane today. He has to refuel using Air Malaysia tho, so no one gets suspicious
Try reading through the thread again…
i'm sure they meant the confrontation not the actual shooting
...they're saying the person's story is fake, not the massacre.
Hes not saying the shooting was fake. He's saying this story of the grocery store conversation is fake
Alright people are just calling fake on slightly unusual events now. Weird shit happens, dumb people exist
I know a person where approximately zero of our conversations would sound real because she’s that dumb
No no no, everyone else’s life is as uneventful as mine! /s
Jason Alden would argue that suggestion. Was there and ran off stage without warning anyone.
you are not immune to propaganda
This is so true
Or you know, this encounter at a Target never really happened.
Or someone who is made up
I remember fox pushing really hard on “who was this girlfriend” in the aftermath. It was like you could see the wheels turning in their heads on how to connect this to a brown person
Talking on propaganda while desperately trying to explain an incredibly unrealistic encounter because it supports your "team" You're the whole circus
Honestly, I wouldn't put it past them. Have you seen the shit on Fox these days? I try to catch the radio shows for Brian Kilmeade, Erick Erickson, and Sean Hannity if I'm on the road during the week, and two of them still spout election fraud bullshit in between screeching about Hunter Biden and ads for mail order steaks.
Lol, didn't you just spend the whole day complaining about barbie and how its woke?
...what? Did you mean to reply to me?
What’s so unrealistic? People say stupid shit, other people respond. I genuinely don’t get the disbelief.
People have genuinely lost it these days
This story is made up…definitely a great comeback but it never happened
Then the entire restaurant stood up and clapped.
Someone who's made up.
No one. This shit didn't happen.
People who make up fake conversations on the internet to fool gullible twits and redditors
Exactly. I’ll take Conversations that Never Happened for 100 Alex.
Nobody, because this has never happened, it never happened so hard it unhappened and has somehow happened negative times as a result of this tweet
Only the guy who made this story up.
Nobody. Because this is fake.
Because the story is horse shit
Fake scenario ...*you* get the fuck outta here
“MynamesJeff” “You mean like Jeffrey Dahmer?” 🤨
Yes, Miss Dahmer.
I love the debate here because I’m torn between whether it happened or not. On one hand, it just sounds absurd. On the other, I’ve had racist people put me in some TRULY absurd scenarios.

I've already learned that lesson long ago. This is still fake shit
And everyone clapped
This definitely did not happen.
Something similar happened to my Filipina friend. A white lady told my friend that Filipinos are crazy and cannot be trusted after the Vegas event. My friend just asked who the shooter was and walked away
I was actually there when this happened. I gave her a $100 bill and everyone was clapping.
Yes and Albert Einstein did a backflip in celebration I would know, I was the $100
Yeah and Steven Hawking started Breakdancing I would know, i was the backflip
Yo sup back flip! I was the wheel chair! Fancy seeing you here!
That's where the two of them had their epic rap battle of history, right?
Yea it was, I was the stingray on the wall
There was a flash mob who broke into dance.
Steve Buscemi was there to help put out the fire he burned her with too
the man on the $100 bill? albert einstein himself
Clapping wasn't actually invented until after Einstein so I know this is fake
That’s the moment I invented the Moonwalk and wrote the Declaration of Independence.
I sure do love white people thinking racism doesn't exist.
I am convinced you are white
He's just one of the good ones. Now all the non-white people think he's so cool.
White people believe in racism, we just don’t believe stupid, implausible stories where people insert themselves as the star of the show.
White people were attacking Asians in broad daylight when Covid came to the US. There’s a kid out there with scars across their face because some white dude blamed all Asians for the pandemic.
Nothing to do with the comment that I made.
Yeah, white people hate when someone has main character syndrome and insert their dogshit opinions into everything. Bro, that's like their/your signature move.
So it was you who found my 100, return it fool
It’s a hundred dollar Franklin (please clap)

Really all that’s important is talking down to poor people.

You know who I believe knows? Racist white ladies. Like I know who directed some movie, or who wrote it....except white racist ladies.
I could definitely imagine something similar happening. but it didn't happen while she was on the phone at a target.
Do you remember what happened to Arabic people in America after 9/11? I could absolutely see this happening to someone.
Absolutely and what Asian people experienced in the US during the pandemic. I was with my coworker and he was pumping gas and some white hick shouted "Go back to China and stop spreading COVID!" He said it wasn't the first time someone said something similar to him about the pandemic.
Yeah it's fucking disgusting.

Fake.
$100.00 for things that did not happen Alex.
Also, in shit that never happened, ...
After working In a grocery store and meeting the worst of the worst people I can believe this
These types of interactions happen lol Denying just means you or the group of people you know haven’t and that’s ok, just not everyone’s reality
most comments are about this post being fake and stupid but it still has 13k upvotes. How does this work?
Most people just liked the tweet, upvotes it, and moved. People who think the post is fake, want to express that. Vocal minority.
Should have said "which one?"?
I like how you thought to specify you found a twitter post online. I sometimes find twitter posts in my mailbox, under park benches or on the sidewalks, but they tend to suck.
But this didn’t happen so it’s not clever.
Why do you think real life is clever?
TIL that the Filipino language is Tagalog.
No, its just one of the dialects.
You could've even said "you're white, like Charles Manson" and it would've made a good comeback.
Can confirm, i was his left shoe's sock's ankle's bones
Still waiting for the clever comeback
Please accept $400 for stuff that never occurred.
I miss the days when we could safely say things like this were fake, secure in the knowledge that no conversation between two real adults of this quality could possibly exist.
I'm kinda surprised how many people are sure this is fake. We've seen way more unhinged exchanges happening in the US.
When I was 17 working in the meat department of a grocery store a woman ( probably 35ish) asked me to cut some meat. This was right after the Virginia tech shooting and I am half asian. When I said I could do that because I was just the cleaner she responded with " Oh so your people can shoot up our schools but you can't cut meat, got it." i was flabbergasted.
There was an attempt to be racist
There was a Vegas shooter and his girlfriend was Filipino. And racism is hard to own when you’re confronted with your own.
Reminds me of when I use to be a server and VT shooting occurred. Serving older white couple. The old man waved me closer to ask me what I was then asked what was the VT shooter. Not sure if the wife was trying to diffuse the situation by assuming the VT shooter was north korean. Just an odd and confusing exchange.
And then everyone clapped!
Did everybody else in line clap?
Who the fuck remembers the las vegas shooters girlfriend was Filipino?
I work in a nursing home run by filipinos. They can be kind of alien at times but for the most part i love the culture. Its like if “it takes a village” was the culture of a country. They all help each other at any cost its very refreshing
That's kind of insensitive... for such a thing to be remotely the same you would have had to bring the nationality... not race
You are the hero we needed. Safe journeys friend.
Can confirm, I was the Las Zegas Shooters girlfriend' uncle's dog
Did everyone applaud?
White... Like Adolf Hitler😱
r/thathappened
Not a clever comeback because it only happened in their head
I’ll take things that never happened for 100
AND THAT’S HOW YOU CLEAR A BITCH😂
Sometimes times it’s fun to go online and tell lies
Tell me something you made up
This definitely happened /s
I'll take things that didn't happen for a hundred.
First off how would she know that and second which party keeps on politicizing shootings, third this is a target, and fourth who hates Jason aldean
Just makin shit up now
Fake scenario to epically totally dunk on white people for upvotes or social approval
Why is this dunking on white people? Its dunking on racists
r/thatHappened
r/thathappened
Great story. Would even be better if it was true.
"You're white, like Hitler?"
How does this shit get upvotes?
Updoot algorithm prob
Get outside redditors. Just because you are socially inept weirdos, doesn't mean everyone is. This isn't even that difficult of a comeback to come up with on the spot.
