The thing I always noticed most about Dimitrios was how not brown he was. Such a good not brown boy. Must have been the wimmin feminists and the illegals that pushed him to this =(

That benefit of the doubt is what humanizes white monsters with blood on their hands. The lack-there-of either demonizes innocent minorities or leaves them 6 feet under.

Hmm. No indicators, huh. If only there was something about him that he had in common with almost all of the other recent mass shooters. Can't quite out my finger on it ...

Yeah idk call me crazy but I say the person who brought guns to his school and murdered his ex gf and his classmates IS THE BULLY.

I can't imagine that same surrender scenario happening with African Americans, hell even without the murders it wouldn't have ended that way.

If being bullied is a good enough reason, can we agree that terrorists are also "nice" people responding to collective bullying of their people? BS.

As sickening as it is predictable.

I much prefer this "let's look at his background / history and see what can be learned to prevent this in the future" to the "he's a terrorist and that's that" approach, but of course it's never applied evenly across skin tones.

This reads like a puff piece.

Such a good boy with problems... Standard line. So we will arm teachers in Texas and have fewer doors but we won’t do anything about easy access to guns. Sigh. This is so exhausting

STOP giving him the fame he wants and encouraging copycat killers. #NoNotoriety

Naturally, Republicans tell us that we need to keep criminals from buying guns.

A terrorist by any other name is still a TERRORIST!!!!

They never stop looking for cultural cues. It’s so embarrassing.

Do we really have to say what adjectives would be used to describe him had he been black or Arab/Muslim? I think not...

how about TERRORIST
