Can the racial dimension of the shooting be discussed in a reasonable manner?

133. "Looking for a scapegoat..."

Scapegoats often are selected to give a ring of legitimacy and justification. Maybe he saw the two he murdered as easily-dismissed in terms of sympathetic characters; just a couple more racists who should be dead. Most of the CelebroPunks, I believe, are looking for a piece of history and recognition in a culture which not only denies any value in such, but which has ample tools to dismantle Anyone's self-worth. What to do? Stage an outrageous, murderous event, and juice up the social technology and media-savvy components to get the supercharged presence he wants. He did that. The scapegoat quality is secondary, paste-on efforts to put himself into a socially-acceptable (or at least mildly sympathetic ) place in history, but it's the Gee Wizz aspect of the shooting, so akin to the phenomenon of "swatting," that is the main goal. After all, shooting up schools is getting passe, and increasingly dangerous, given the (hopefully) increased security.

The usual suicide is secondary as well; he and others before him knew knew full-well that everyone would be talking about them, writing books about them, referencing the innertubes and photos of slaughter, saying his name ad nauseum, and having the event waved like a bloody flag forn whatever cause or social analysis one chooses, Years down the road. He will be remembered long after any of us here pass away, so what does he care if he never views the block-buster film he just made. He wrote the script and knows the ending.
