I'd never be inclined to mark someone with claims of being racist unless you could definitely prove that was his justification, which as far as I can see don't exist, the mere fact that they are black is not a standing argument for that suspicion in my mind. Everyone is capable of being a scumbag, and he was a grade A scumbag, he does not need to be racist nor is there proof on that case, I don't care how much of a scumbag anyone is, suspecting thoughts beyond demonstration is too far and immoral in my mind regardless of how evil the person acted. I also generally despise the use of race as a justification for being a scumbag instead of focusing on the fact they are a scumbag alone, racism doesn't have anything to do with being a scumbag, not to mention plenty of racists don't kill people, for whatever reason (and yes, some of them do still consider them valuable life, not all racism is the same in the cases of its known existence) it is in my mind an unreasonable application simply because the defendant was white and the victims were black. There are also plenty of psychopaths (which he rather seems to be given his willingness to use emotion) that just look for the justification to shoot or kill, without any further intent.

@mossbogger8366 Yeah, one of the big things that bug me about the modern era is how rampant race baiting and race conflict is these days, often with undertones of things like "they can't help it" or "they're inherently racist" or "you are incapable of not being racist" or something of the sort, and often it gets painted of questioning such a narrative or behavior as being inherently racist instead of demonstration of emotional manipulation that it is. Even those who mean well will often paint a situation as being about race in order to personally disassociate the person, often to dehumanize them, and as a result comes a belief that they should be treated as being less human instead of being subject to justice and judgement. One of the most infuriating things for me in this is when people insist behaviors, that in a vacuum or without the assumption of race, would just describe asshole behavior or beyond, but because of assumptions like such that they must be racist because apparently a non-racist wouldn't be willing to commit such atrocious acts. (despite that rarely ever being the case under examination) Its unreasonable and creates undue strife for what I often consider (intentionally or not) malicious and evil purposes. There is no gain to painting an evil man as also racist, if he is then its wrong, but if he isn't you just created a very nefarious narrative that will be used to further justify evil acts and behaviors and sow strife. If people could just readily admit that a white man could kill a black man simply because he wants to kill, or simply because he doesn't value any life, I think that's worse then just being a racist, and there is no justification for having to consider the lesser mental charge of being a racist. He's a murderer, it doesn't matter afterwards. It sometimes feels like we value murderers more then racists, especially those that haven't done anything, or that you are irredeemable in a way a murderer isn't. In any case it makes no sense, be depraved as any man does not qualify a difference in value of life, black men are not more valuable then white men, nor vice versa. I find it quite revolting that we even consider this line of thinking just to demean character of someone whose already a known murderer.

"I believe these race baiting attitudes must be tied to some internal, self aggrandizing mechanism...if I had to guess I would assume it is the result of too little conflict in existence to define people's character."
I don't entirely disagree, but I will say its more of a factor then the cause, I think part of the problem stems from the emergence of foremost "anti-racist" crap that goes back to Jim Crow, and then the resulting social justice that came about partly to elevate the previously segregated folks because they feel entitled to damages that have no definite demonstration separate from personal action. (which they assume also means everything was made off the backs of them despite the contradiction) Part of it could also be an emergence from liberation from such which led that entitlement to grow, and it doesn't help that cultural marxist behaviors and thought was being adopted as that era was ending. Would also explain why it looks so different in Europe. It probably also has something to do with the integration and growth of actual racist thoughts, most especially in modern institutions.
"is it possible that a person lacking the opportunity to prove themselves to their piers or have some sort of right of passage in a public setting, will be driven to invent "ghouls" that "haunt" them and they need to take action against which will earn them a sense of virtue and praise which sincerely is lacking in their life.."
In a way, perhaps, though I say with the loss of eternal/spiritual justice, many people believe the dead receive no justice and thus only through Earthly punishment does anything happen, which in turn means that innocence be damned, retribution needs to be served. For without an end-all justice, nobody suffers, and that's what they really want. And it makes them angry when someone doesn't suffer.
Also a big issue I've seen crop up in modern society that's even revealed as far back as boomers is they don't understand fights or have never been in one (which I find odd at the older ages especially) where they got hit, especially enough to knock them down. (and not by an authority figure, but by someone of equal footing) It seems the lack of this and the lack of masculine aggression that's become demonized and opposed in the modern era has sheltered people and made them believe that words alone are violence, and thus they are justified in reacting to them. (where as reasonable people who have been hit hard or in a fight will do everything they can to prevent any type of violence) Or in the least it justifies in the moment them receiving what they consider as their rite of passage, that being the death of someone. The peaceful age has probably also provided us with a lack of outlets for aggression especially in demonizing the actually decent outlets, which include for men sometimes sparring with friends (or "frenemies" I suppose) which includes getting some hits. Masculinity also has been portrayed to not usually defend the innocent anymore, and its rarely taught, even decades ago, by the older folks. And I see this on both sides of the problem and beyond the racist section entirely.
