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.

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