If he wasn’t a white nationalist, I find it hard to believe he would have carried out the exact same crime based on portions of his manifesto.

If he was not WN, maybe he would have killed twenty people in Philadephia because they didn't believe in climate change.

If so, should we keep non-CC believers from postting on the internet?

Or maybe he would have traveled to Omaha and killed 30 fat people because they ate meat.

If so, should we deny meat-eaters the right to voice their opinion?

Or maybe he would have killed 40 people in North Dakota because he hated conservatives.

I condemn mass murder.

OK. Done.
