ADL retracts Tumbler Ridge shooting antisemitism claim

JL;DR SUMMARY Following a tragic mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, the ADL initially linked the alleged shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar, to an antisemitic social media account.

At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
