>I bet a lot of people like doughnuts. Just because they might write that in something when they get infamous does not make a doughnut shop question their actions.

Are you seriously implying that hanging out and posting on 8chan,Voat, or alt-right subs is similar to eating doughnuts when it comes to race motivated mass shootings? Even with just the raw probability numbers it's off by many orders of magnitude.

Eating doughnuts for breakfast and committing murder is a random co-incidence, are you implying it was completely a random coincidence that those kind of sites show up repeatedly as hang out spots in mass hate killings?



But those sites are all just being racist ironically, which lets them off the hook. There are no actual racists anywhere on the internet - everyone is just a bored teenager posting edgelord memes and role-playing.
