Possible snipers seen at OSU. Administration says they're not snipers but should be treated like they are. (midwest.social)

Love how the narrative went from “nah those can’t be snipers definitely spotters” to “snipers are commonplace at big events!” once it was confirmed. Also the fact that only msn and snopes have published anything about this (or is that just a search indexing problem?).

Yeah, that is why it fits here. The response from Americans is depressing.

I think it is a search index issue, I can find a few things on this. The arrests are also a thing.

There is also the wayback machine to watch in real time the changing of story by the school:
