You know who it was a really, really bad day for? The eight people and their families who this man killed

I don’t know anything about this police chief. If he really is sympathetic to the murderer at all, he deserves the grief in the replies here. But it seems like he’s really just trying to dispassionately describe the subject’s state of mind during the crime.

Isn't that what all mass shootings are? A bunch of white guys having tantrums because they had a "bad day"?

Sorry to burst your narrative, but you should learn about the mass shootings the media doesn’t tell you about.
Disgusting how this is being explained. We all have bad days and not everyone murders people because of it. Take a nap, go home, many different things to do but murder...

Absolutely disgusting @voxdotcom
Do you only judge your employees by how many impressions they generate?
Will there be ANY consequences, or is manufacturing partisan outrage just part of the internal job description? twitter.com/CathyYoung63/s…

Context matters - this is how you lose your audience’s trust

So this is the origin of the viral story: a Vox dot com journalist misrepresents a LE official's summary of what the suspect said to investigators as his own explanation.
How many people even bothered to watch this clip, let alone the full video?
Disgusting. twitter.com/atrupar/status…
