Wait - the killer was BIPOC. What is the race of the 4 victims? |
| The human race. |
Thanks for wasting everyone’s time.

| Sorry my response didn’t play into stupid racist trope. Better luck next time. |
This almost definitely doesn't matter, as the shooter was firing such a huge number of rounds wildly at the school/people in general -- he wasn't using a sniper rifle and didn't appear to be trying to target any specific individuals with his gunfire. |
His motivation seems to have been to impress 4chan bros and then kill himself. He posted his video, confession, and comments on 4chan, his first edit to the Burke Wikipedia page said “A basedman shot at the school on April 22, 2022,” and he had Yakub on the wall, a meme that 4chan racists use to mock Blacks. He didn’t try to leave and just waited for the cops to come before shooting himself. |
That is only your personal theory. Last I checked, police were still searching for some possible motive here, but hadn’t announced anything. |
You conveniently left out the fact he corrected the word “basedman,” indicating it was a typo or autocorrect error. |
“AR15 aficionado” tells me everything I need to know |
What we do we think it was a typo for? Crazed man? |
He clearly meant “based man”. He edited it a couple of times, but based was a shout out to 4chan: https://slangit.com/meaning/based At first, posters in 4chan's music forums used based to praise experimental music. Then, the word migrated to 4chan's politics forums, where right-wing posters used based to agree with controversial actions they found brave. |
| So why does the news continue to leave out his racial motivation? And how the hell did he find this operation? 2 apartments plus all those weapons. How did he travel between the two? Did he have a car or use public transportation? MPD showed a still of a security camera at the AVA showing him wheeling in a large purple suitcase they believe held his weapons. How did he get to the apartment? |
LOL! Hello fellow boomers. "based" is slang with widespread use among Gen Z. It is all over reddit, including in left wing subreddits. It has nothing to do with rightwing beliefs. Also, Yakub is really something making fun of the muslim belief that there was a doctor named Yakub 6,000 years ago that created white people using grafting. It's hilarious because of how stupid the belief is - it's not inherently racist (although I can imagine some people using it in that way) |
The media isn’t going to invent a possible motive for the purpose of pleasing you. The police are still investigating the crime and it’s more likely than not the motivation(s) may never be known. If he took Metro there will be video. If he used Uber there will be a digital and financial trail, just like renting the apartments. The police almost certainly have subpoenaed his cell phone carrier to roughly map his movements. There apparently is no investigative need to release this info right now. |
There is also no investigative need to reveal the race of his 4 victims. Cover it up. |
