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.

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.

NYT: "It is not clear whether this attack was planned or was the impulsive act of a man beset by economic anxiety ".

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-

I lost faith in them when the whole charter vs. public school debate came out, and the NY Times came out firmly for charters. As if wealthy people who wanted to get into this charter school thing knew more about educating kids than experts who had been doing it their entire loves.
