I would take anything he said with a grain of salt considering his solution to workplace disputes is to double murder.

Just because he killed them doesn't mean he was lying.

When the shooter was thought to be white he was "sick" now that it's known he's black there are people blaming Obama and "black on white crime". Bleh.

wonder how someone gets to that place? unhappy, lose your job, the anger just builds and you decide, Im going to shoot some people

[Kid A]

If it's a black person, he's a thug, and if it's a white person, he's just mentally ill.

And obviously, America has more gun violence than Europe, not because of gun laws, but because we have worse mental health.

This shooting is starting to look like a guy who desperately wanted to be famous, and when he was fired from his television job, he couldn't stand that he was no longer famous and reacted violently. Unfortunately, a by-product of our reality television, famous for 15 minutes culture.

Well he claims to have heard from Jehovah which may be part of it. I'm sure we'll never know whether any of his claims are based in truth or just his perception:

He says has suffered racial discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying at work
He says he has been attacked by black men and white females
He talks about how he was attacked for being a gay, black man

When he's also saying he admires school shooters though, he seems like he has something wrong with him, people can also be paranoid and delusional.

Maybe Rednecks now realizing that deranged black gays can get guns, too, they'll finally be for gun control?
I mean, now nobody is safe.

We don't have too many guns, we have too many "thugs". There should be a wall.

"Seems like"? I'd say that was pretty much a given. But, since he was black, he'll be labeled a "thug" by the NRA and on Faux News.
