    So the whole reason to block the writings are to hide the fact the shooter targeted wealthy families and to prevent copycats.

    The attack definitely falls under class warfare. Why target kids though? That’s the f’d up part of this.

      From Wikipedia, it appears that he attended school there when he was 10, and the victims were age 9. Sounds like a very targeted motive for the shooting.

          Sounds like the ahooter saw it as attacking the setting/system and not individuals. Fucked up since the 9 year old kids don’t choose where they attend or what socioeconomic class they are a part of.

          No, there was no need to release the manifesto and it was only released to stoke the “whites are in danger” crowd.
