Another thing to consider.
Actually the shooter was a member of a white nationalist group and attended at least one of their paramilitary training sessions.

If the shooter was a Latino and member of MS-13 we would be talking about Latino immigrant gang culture being a threat to decent society and pushing to stop it.

If shooter was black & a gang member we would be talking about black thug culture. If a militant we would be talking about black militant culture,both would be talked about as a threat to decent society a
& folks would push for ways to stop it (& tying it to black lives matter)

If the shooter was Arab and a member of ISIS, we would be talking about "Islamofascism" being a clear and present danger to decent society and folks would push for ways to stop it.

But seeing as shooter is white, alt-right & member of a white nationalist group? We get 1/2 of the country talking about "guns" & "mental health", the other 1/2 talking about "thoughts & prayers" and NO ONE talking about the elephant that's raging in the room:White terrorism.

Rather than talking about how white nationalist-fueled terrorism is a threat to society, America yet again chooses to sweep it under the rug. Because the nation lacks the moral bravery to stand up to it.

So "What does race have to do with this?"

There is your answer. By Edward Francis

It's like the national strain of genetic encoding that causes people to have something like Tourette's syndrome.

Except in this case, people are uncontrollably uttering racist bull shit, in one case, or ignoring the racism in another in order to focus on the individual problem of mental health.

Whether he was actively working for that racist group when he murdered those kids isn't particularly relevant.

He was exposed to, received training from and was influenced by aspiring racial terrorists...how could that not influence his choice to lash out violently.
