Yeah - this is not a clear-eyed racist trying to... I don't even know.
It's someone who is clearly ill. If someone is willing to walk into random establishments and start shooting strangers - I don't think their worldview is going to have much coherence to it.

And the news was quick to jump on the "anti-asian!" narrative, whereas it looks like this dude just had mental issues and didn't like "massage" venues because of his sex addiction. But yes...he must be racist, too. Because #white
CNN was fully engorged yesterday pushing the "white supremacist" angle. Meanwhile at least one of the victims was white. The crazy guy just knew where sex for money happened, and went there to shoot whomever was there.

I saw that last night. It is activism of the highest order, completely divorced from news. I was dumbfounded and speechless regarding the implications of feeling it safe to float that idea and put it in the heads of their following. On the order of #pizzagate.

Y'all, Truth and CNN parted ways a long time ago.
And while it might shock some, WAPO and the NYT ain't far behind.

It was way worse than that. They basically said he was driven to murder based on a toxic white culture... as in it was white people’s fault. My mouth hit the floor.
