Before you triple down here, be aware that media reports suggest the suspect is a convicted sex offender and virulent racist with multiple felonies. It's likely this was a racial motivated mass murder involving children. Please, please stew that over for a few minutes prior to hitting submit.

A white equivalent of a Hotep would be dabbling with white supremacy. Not as in, lets go lynch some darkies, but very strange beliefs about the supposed spiritual aspect of race.

Promoted randomly assaulting white people on social media, among other unsavory stuff.

Doesn't mean it was a racially motivated attack. He drove for half a mile through the crowd, so attempts to minimize it as an accident at this point are weird.

Has there been a more appropriate news story for this thread? Won't be much of a follow up because reasons.

There aren't a ton of pre-canned narratives you can tie this into, and it might hurt criminal justice reform if we spend too much time on it.

The NYT, in an article about what they know about the suspect somehow don’t know his race or have a photo of him. How can that be?

Yeah, this is getting memory holed. CNN and MSNBC are already back to 06.Jan and how K-rit is bloodthirsty racist. Reid had a tribute to Anthony Huber last night in place of a discussion about this.

TFW you attempt to starve out and genocide an ethnic minority and they pwn your army and march on your capital.

I don't know how the TPLF manages to take the entire country, but what happens if they do? The West sanctions them for being an effective fighting force and ensures famine?

I think you guys are probably right, but the investigation is also moving quite slowly, so not much to report. Brooks is in court this afternoon, and some kids might not make it through.

What happens with both those could amplify things, but maybe this will be the rare calamity where everyone keeps their heads on straight politically.

Rider is the boyfriend of my buddy’s coworker. He was watching football and unaware of the parade tragedy at the time.
