Let's all be sure not to jump to conclusions regarding motive here.

I mean, sure he was a white supremacist, but maybe he was going through financial troubles or something.

I was talking about your weed Jihad.

Oh. Also not a joke.

Weed and the not fully developed mind of a person with a mental disorder to not go well together.

Haven't we seen that before in lots of these cases?

(And, even if he didn't have a mental disorder, he was clearly paranoid if he thought Blacks were, raping our women and taking over our country. Paranoia paired with weed? Yeah, that will work out well.)

So glad alcohol doesn't do anything like that that to people. Or the wrong prescription meds.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

Welp, so much for "lone nut." Which he may still be, but he can slip into the neo-Nazi underworld and disappear for a long, long time.

DiCaprio's character in Blood Diamond was from Rhodesia.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

He looks like he'd be very popular in prison.

 

[Captain_Kirk]

Odds are he'll never make it there.

There was an entire political movement dedicated to this idea a few years ago, a subsidiary of sorts to one of the two major U.S. political parties.

Pathetic. And you can spare me your bookmarked links on this. I'll just sit back and observe.

Your next step will be to twist this into a Clinton or Caleb Hannan issue.

How many instances of killers who just happen to also be drug users do we need to see before we draw a connection?

Thank God!

Between him and the escaped convicts in upstate NY, you have/had to be concerned about more fatalities as authorities closed in.

Hell, with this kid, he may have had other targets in mind.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

I hoped he wouldn't be taken alive, then I realized it was white cops picking up a white kid....

 

[Songbird]

He has a James Holmes dead stare about him. Newtown kid too.

The question now, to me, is: How do you cover this?

I don't think we've had one of these for a while. Last time, I was starting to lean strong toward, "Practially ignore it."
