According to to a report by Vocativ, the supporters used the hashtag #America_Burning to praise the three suspects implicated in the shooting at the Inland Regional Center, a facility for developmentally disabled people. The terrorist group did not claim responsibility for the attacks.
"Three lions made us proud. They are still alive," an Arabic tweet from user @Neran_Da3shya read. "California streets are full with soldiers with heavy weapons. The United States is burning #America_Burning #Takbir," it read, according to Vocativ.
"Let America know a new era #California #America_Burning," read another.
