The shooter, a white man, killed three people after writing messages of hatred for Black people. He killed himself after opening fire in a dollar store.
A white gunman fatally shot three Black people in hate-motivated shooting at a Dollar General retailer in Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon, Sheriff T.K. Waters said.
“This shooting was racially motivated, and he hated Black people,” the sheriff said at a news conference. “He wanted to kill n------.”
Copycat shooter with a manifesto, armed with the usual kit: A plate carrier, an AR-15, and a Glock.While I can see this is a racially motivated shooting, I think this pattern indicates some deeper… suicidal, martyrdom ideology. The intent includes the suicide. It’s suicidally motivated, too. These plans include the repetitive messaging of a newsfeed marching down the list of mass shootings by scared whitr supremacists. Racial killing, suicide, manifesto, and the date makes it a copycat killing. Is he truly a maniac, if so many are falling into this same set of cowardly cries for help?I feel no sympathy for the dead shooter. But I stare into the abyss, feeling I must empathize with the scared white supremacist who does this next.Stochastic Terrorism (wiki)deleted by creator
Fuck em. Let them all suicide their way out. As long as they stop taking innocent people with them, they can die in agony in a ditch as far as I’m concerned. The time for sympathy is over.
But the problem is they don’t stop. And they’re being encouraged to kill.

It’s shameful of me to have missed this detail.
he was out of his mind with FEAR… nothing else…
Not sure why the downvotes, I think you’re right, fear is at the source of this muderous behaviour. This is the meaning carried by the “phobia” in “negrophobia”, " homophobia", etc. These people feel their very existence is threatened by their victims : they’ve been indoctrinated into thinking their “race” or “culture” are driven to extinction by other people. So yes, it’s absolutely fear.
more to the point maybe, it’s useless to try to find a coherent idea inside their heads, with the idea of treating it, or heading it off in others or something… they consume a steady diet of fear inducing media, and look to their gun as the only help… when they snap, they’re just looking for the most convenient excuse to use the firearm finally…
it isn’t about anyone’s “race” (that idea never makes sense anyway), so much as someone is telling him appearance or culture is a fear vector for him (i.e. people who look and think differently hate HIM)… he’s listening for any reason to be afraid, it really doesn’t matter…
in fact, trying to assign the problem to his race or a racial idea is just doing the same in reverse… trying to find a reason to fear someone and create a fear vector in people’s minds…
and just to reiterate because it’s so important: it is USELESS to try to find a coherent idea of any kind in those heads
