That’s a good point. I’m assuming he’s off his rocker because he killed 10 people. He doesn’t seem to be acting rationally in the sense that having such deep-seated racism as to plan and execute a mass killing is insane in and of itself. So anything he says is not trustworthy.
But I guess he is very different insane than the Son of Sam guy who thought God spoke to him.
Good point, but it's not like there's a diagnostic definition of "crazy" anyway. Replace that language with "deluded, ignorant, and sociopathic" and the statement you replied to makes more sense.
> Replace that language with "deluded, ignorant, and sociopathic"
I really wouldn't call him any of those terms, he simply has a completely different "tribe," value system, and morality than yours.
To simply throw some high-brow insults at him and walk-off is intellectually lazy, and blinds you to someone becoming what Buffalo boy became.
I live down the street from a pre-Revolutionary fort, a real facet of the settlers lives was dealing with Indian raids. They would sneak in and, under cover of darkness, kill as many as they could. This attack, ultimately, makes me think of a modern raid.
>Indigenous groups breaking into the forts of literal colonialists, for whom racism was a matter of religious doctrine, to try to force them away before they perpetrate another massacre
>A white supremacist walks into a public space and shoots the descendants of people brought to this country in bondage by, get this, the aforementioned colonialists
The situations seems somewhat different. Less a modern raid than a modern massacre.
