re: #193 Belafon

As interesting as it is to blame the algorithm, this kid was looking for a reason to shoot blacks.

Pretty much. Or at least he’d been warped by the endless harping on the right about “black on black crime” and “black on white crime.”

The Brainwashing of My Dad is pretty clear about that, and propaganda can be deadly effective. That doesn’t absolve him of his actions but it does explain them (stochastic terrorism). See also Dr. Tiller and Bill O’Reilly: Did Tiller’s killer pull the trigger or did Bill O’Reilly push him?

If O’Reilly chose instead to give nightly rants about the ACA, would Dr. Tiller be alive still?

The CCC is nothing more than the “uptown Klan”: They are the “respectable face” of racism and hatred.
