Could you please explain what you are trying to say here? I honestly do not understand. But it does seem important.

QAnon stuff. This kid was down the dumb wormhole.

Wait - the killer was BIPOC.

What is the race of the 4 victims?

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.

You conveniently left out the fact he corrected the word “basedman,” indicating it was a typo or autocorrect error.

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:

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.

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)

Clarifying that this is not Muslim belief. It is a Nation of Islam belief. At best, the Nation of Islam would be considered a heretical Muslim sect.

That view might be true internationally. But NOI is mainstream in the USA.

It’s not mainstream!

One of the survivors of this shooting was featured at GW for their annual Trauma Survivors Day.

“GW Hospital’s Dr. Babak Sarani explained that Harris suffered severe bleeding from his liver, kidney and intestines due to a bullet penetrating his abdomen. Without rapid intervention by the hospital’s surgeons and resources, Harris would likely have died.

Sarani credited a REBOA catheter, a device which uses an internally-placed balloon to cut off blood flow, with helping save Harris’ life. Doctors kept the balloon partly inflated for around 20 hours — a length of time Sarani said is a medical first for the device”
