General Discussion

I know these people are irrational. I guess it helps me understand WHY the did what they did. Its easy to blame one thing like racism, but I'd like to see the underlying cause. What motivated them. I'd like that motivation exposed.

An AP article about the shooting said this about his writing:

He texted his father during the shooting and told him to break into his room, Waters said. The father then found a suicide note, a will and the racist writings Waters described as “quite frankly, the diary of a madman.”

“He was just completely irrational,” Waters said. “But with irrational thoughts, he knew what he was doing. He was 100% lucid.”

What were the irrational thoughts and what encouraged them? For example, did he write he watched hours of Faux News and was afraid of White Replacement Theory? Did he write he was a supporter of "Good people on both sides" or quote Trump?

I guess I'm always curious. Whether it's the reason we exist or something menial.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ... Don't stop to marvel.
