Ah, clearly the shooter was merely mentally ill. If he had taken his medication, this definitely couldn't of happened. I mean, it's clearly just a coincidence that he shot up a black church. (sarcasm)
Indeed, no idea or ideology have any effect on behavior, ever. For example, nobody who honestly believes in the idea of martyrdom and its free pass to heaven has ever blown themselves. /s
Ehh, racism is part mental, part social. If you grow up in a family of white supremacists, you're gonna think you're superior for being white. But it takes an ill mind to commit such a massacre. Also I never said he shouldn't be held responsible (no idea where you got that notion), he definitely should, I'm just saying that he must've been mentally ill to just butcher people like that. On the contrary, I think people with psychopathic tendencies should be locked up tighter than sane inmates because they're more unpredictable.
As true as the fact that a lot of his white friends knew exactly how racist he acted out. Even Joseph Goebbels talked about "that one decent jewish friend we all have".
