Authorities should be ruling out non-racist motives.
I'm not sure what point there is to even spending any time ascertaining motive. It's not like you're going to use it against him on his court date, he's dead.
The "the family is not pressing charges" line also seems like it kinda goes without saying...
CRETE, Neb. -- A white Nebraska man described as reclusive and confrontational shot and wounded seven neighbors who are Guatemalan immigrants, and investigators said they are not ruling out racist motives.
About 15 people were at the victims’ home, mostly in the yard, when Billy Booth, 74, opened fire from his house in Crete with a shotgun around 4:30 p.m. Friday, officials said.
Booth killed himself after the shootings. The victims, who are related and include four children ages 3 to 10, are expected to survive.
At least the asshole ate a shotgun blast and no one else was killed.
One less Trump vote.
What a sorry man. What may have lead to such behaviour?
Fox "news"
They're responsible for a lot of heinous shit that people do and allowing them to continue to spew out misinformation, hate, and lies will only lead to more of this happening.
Yeah, this is the result of living in an alternate world of propaganda and hate.
I’m sure his actions felt perfectly reasonable to /him/.
Imagined persecution can have real results, often playing into the hands of the rich & powerful.
A society that tolerates intolerance will see the innocent die.
