Good that they caught him before it happened but:

This kind of vile and heinous hate-fueled violence, intended to target innocent people based on their sexual orientation, runs contrary to our values as Americans," said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke

Girl, read a history book.

Why does this post auto play video with audio. That's awful.

Anyway. Why did this guy want to murder these folks? Just more stochastic terrorism from right wing media?

From the article, it sounds like he had severe brain damage and was completely unstable (eg, discharging 60 rounds from an illegally short rifle into gay neighbors' cars and homes BEFORE all this shit)

Pretty sure that's at least 2-4 felonies right there, non withstanding everything else.
