Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I'm not sure how to articulate what I'm thinking about this. It's very human to ask why? when something horrific happens, so I'm not blaming anyone for wondering what on earth the motive was. But at the same time, no attempt at an explanation is going to satisfy. There's just no explanation for something like this.
It’s less about the victim and more about the prosecution. If it’s determined that he did it with forethought, etc. he may be charged with premeditated murder. If it’s determined that he got into some heated argument and proceeded to randomly stab people despite planning on going to the park otherwise, he may be charged with manslaughter. So on and so forth.
I can really only process these by assuming there's some sort of latent fascism in the mind of the attacker, even if it's only subconscious. A healthy society should not produce these kinds of people. The attacker must be subconsciously "culling the weak" or something. I don't know, this is just mind bendingly horrible
17 year old boy targeting girls? sounds like incel shit to me, personally
