    Well that’s a relief.

    CRETE, Neb. – A white Nebraska man described as reclusive and confrontational shot and wounded seven neighbors who are Guatemalan immigrants, and investigators said they are not ruling out racist motives.

    About 15 people were at the victims’ home, mostly in the yard, when Billy Booth, 74, opened fire from his house in Crete with a shotgun around 4:30 p.m. Friday, officials said.

    Booth killed himself after the shootings. The victims, who are related and include four children ages 3 to 10, are expected to survive.

    What a sorry man. What may have lead to such behaviour?

      Fox “news”

      They’re responsible for a lot of heinous shit that people do and allowing them to continue to spew out misinformation, hate, and lies will only lead to more of this happening.

        Yeah, this is the result of living in an alternate world of propaganda and hate.

        I’m sure his actions felt perfectly reasonable to /him/.

      Imagined persecution can have real results, often playing into the hands of the rich & powerful.

    A society that tolerates intolerance will see the innocent die.

          Not so obvious when you consider how many of us stopped watching about 5 minutes in. I didn’t click your spoiler because I didn’t want to hear anything else you had to say. I feel like your joke didn’t really land well.
