Terrorist: I hate nine-tenths of the human race and I want to murder people in the name of white supremacy. Please see my numerous manifestos on my several websites.
NYT: His motives remain an enigma. (shrugs) I guess we’ll never know.
According to some of his forum posts, the killer had made several trips to the mall to case the joint and see when peak hours were.

We need to rethink that whole “paper of record” designation.
They’re stenographers for arguments soft selling far right talking points for years.
Maybe go with an older paper. The Philly Inquirer. Less pretentious to boot.
Fuck the New York Times. They’ve been apologists for Nazis more often than not. This is who they are.
TMZ says the cops are similar-wise puzzled: Behold all the nazi tattoos the mass murderer had and… “[his] social media profile is reportedly chock full of hateful rants targeting women and minorities plus posts praising Adolf Hitler and neo-Nazis.” and yet we read: “The shooter was killed by a mall police officer and cops say the motive for the shooting is still unclear.” Why, it’s almost like one should expect more from a nazi…?? -sigh-
At least they are consistent.

He’s just misunderstood, is all!
Read the article; ignore the headline.
I wonder how they were leading up to the Civil War?
Wow. Guess they don’t understand why a dog licks its cojones, either.
Well, I would if I could.
Nazism—Does what it says on the tin.
