    He did? If information comes to light that supports that, then sure. However, the article you posted states multiple times he told the police he did it because of sex/porn addiction.

    to me it sounds like a mentally ill person did things that only make sense to someone who is mentally ill. Beyond that, arguing about motivation is running in circles, debating in semantics and trying to apply logic to an inherently illogical act.

    I think motivation in these situations is critically important, particularly if it was a hate crime or religiously motivated. But I’m just questioning the claim that it’s Christian terrorism when there doesn’t seem to be anything to support that, at least not yet.

    Why did his "sex addiction" cause him to kill people? You think being taught that you're an evil dirty sinner for having sexual urges might contribute to that? If you think I'm being over the top by labeling him a Christian terrorist that's fine, but his religious upbringing is a major component of this. I'm sure he has some mental problems too.

    This article is interesting. The dude had uncontrollable impulses to go to the massage parlors for sexual activity, but was always completely overtaken with guilt for weeks and weeks afterwards due to extremely religious upbringing. These are accounts from former roommates who said he used to go to the places he shot up. They weren’t surprised when they found out he did this but always assumed he would engage in self harm instead of a mass shooting.

    Multiple people went on record to say they never knew him to be racist or even express political opinions in public.

    So it seems that he targeted the places he would go which happen to employ Asian women. So it’s not as if he specifically hated Asians, but he was trying to get rid of his demons or whatever. The article said he actually attended rehab for sex addiction.

    Well, yeah. As far as the terrorist thing, I’m sure everything you’re saying is correct. My only point was that there is a major difference between doing something because of religion as opposed to for a religion.

    If you needed a gallon of gas, all you had to do was ask.

    It’s only Christian terrorism when you have an abortion. Anything else is stress-related.

    Relax, America. Your best retards are on the case. “He was just having a bad day” says the boss of the idiots:



    .... “in other words, we’re clueless, I have no idea what the fuck I’m doing and I can barely pretend on camera that his actions upset me.”

    Thor videos are horrific. There are bodies/wounded people all over the place. They arrested somebody who appears to be the shooter, but unconfirmed.

    Really glad we are getting back to the Active Shooter level of America I knew and loved before the pandemic. Glad it's carrying over to the "New Norm".

    It's really disappointing during basically a full year pause in the US, we wasted all of that time doing nothing to further along our country in a positive manner.
