Why did 4chan try to frame one of its own for the Oregon massacre?

An experimental 4chan forum has tried and miserably failed to frame one of its own users for the mass shooting in Oregon on Thursday.

During the past 24 hours, the board /r9k/, a board inspired by an xkcd comic and which uses a script to prohibit the post of images, memes, or other text more than once, has tried to pin the murders of 10 people on a user dubbed “Eggman.”

There seems to be a lot of this trying to frame people or groups on this today. I've also seen some talking that BLM was to blame.
