Dear Lord in Heaven, please forgive me, for I am about to (almost) agree with R "Dogbreath" J.
There are a lot of racist jerks in this country. Damned few of them run around murdering people, let alone en masse. Racism may have contributed to his target selection, but pulling the trigger was an act of pure ****ery, regardless of the target. Same with the Aurora, CO shooter, same with the Boston bomber (I can't be arsed to look up either of their names; neither of them deserves one, same as this bastard).
Mass-murderer: some cockswilling jackass who needs to have his neck stretched, preferably by keelhauling. I don't care how or why he chose his victims, he just needs to quit breathing the oxygen that ought to be reserved for decent human beings. Black, white, yellow, red, or orange-colored-purple-stripes-pretty-green-polka-dots (thank you, Natalie Cole), but he's wasting resources that could be used by an actual human.
Racism? Yeah, it's there, and it's more common than any of us wants to admit. But it doesn't cause murder; murder is a failure of basic humanity, regardless of the paint job of the perpetrator and/or the victim.
Unless you need special translation, “pure evil” pretty much covers it Ace.
Did you listen to the comments from the family of victims Ace? Did you hear any of them use the term “racist”? Were any of them whining about the flag?
Don’t be a douche and make this about political convenience. ":"
