I’m of two minds on this:

1. Maybe it’s a real thing.
2. Maybe the suspect looks like a regular guy and we see what confirms our own biases.

In either case, this isn’t about what they look like. We should know by now that looks aren’t reliable barometer of propensity for political violence. Case in point: That one guy who looks like an angry, desperate, washed-up used-car salesman—that’s our *president*.
