41. I asked about the legalities of premeditation...

Thanks to you and the other poster (will go to that post now) for explaining that, legally, it can be considered instantaneous. No doubt in my mind that he did set out, at least when he made that left turn onto the parade route, to strike and harm as many people as possible. I'm sure his lawyers will argue about his state of mind in that moment. I'm also certain justice will prevail and he will be held accountable; that's the difference when the defendant is a POC vs white.
