Uh, probably about the same, along the lines of loner whacko shoots hundreds of people with high powered weapons.

If this is true, I could see him watching how the festival handled the crowd in order to get logistics of his actual attack.

It would've been Dylan Roof on steroids. Wouldn't have mattered that the guy basically flipped a coin and decided on the rap concert. Our obsession with racial strife would've gone to a whole new level and plenty of the usual suspects would've poured gas on the fire. I dare say we might've seen some retaliation in parts across the country.

So you agree there is a suspected motive in this case? And anyone who is honest with themselves wouldn't say otherwise?

It's amazing how badly some of you want certain things to be true so that you can claim victim status


like speculating the white guy REALLy wanted to shoot the rapper, but settled for this instead? oh, and then running with the story in MSM based on someone not even involved in the investigation.

It didn't speculate that at all. If it was a Chance and Lorde show, there's a good possibility that the crowd would be majority white anyway. They're just pointing out that he was maybe around last weekend, meaning that he may not have had a specific target in mind.

I guess he didn't want to commit a hate crime when he killed almost 60 people.

If this is true, then I would agree that he had intentions of attacking. It can't be a coincidence.
