I don’t understand how the police decided this guy hadn’t planned to attack a church for racist reasons. Sounds like they didn’t find evidence at his house about his intention to attack a black church, but that doesn’t preclude racism as a reason.
Brandishing a shotgun, aiming it at black churchgoers, barricading a house for a standoff, and writing a detailed description of a mass shooting attack definitely don’t mean a thing…
DeLuca told KDKA-TV that he and his department believe the incident was not racially motivated but brought on through a combination of Harris’ alleged use of methamphetamine and his mental state at the time of the incident.
And his house was rigged up and booby trapped so you’ve got to think about how much of it was actually drug-induced psychosis and how much of it was racially motivated.
Meth can fuck your mental state up for a significant stretch of time, multiple days. It’s enough out-of-your-mind time to write a manifesto and commit a shooting.
But you might be right, I’m just going off what the article claims.
