Just a few days ago, I posted about conservatives using genocidal language to talk about South Asians. I was not expecting to see people doing this already. Apparently he'd been planning it for two years and got caught because he was updating his Taco Bell coworker.
At his Palatine condo, investigators said they found an AR-style rifle with no serial number, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, a tactical vest, gas can, and items with Nazi symbolism.
Paporakis penned an eight-page manifesto using derogatory and racially charged slurs and specifically targeted people of Indian descent at a Hindu house of worship, according to court documents in the case. He pledged he would die himself, but not before killing as many minorities as possible, prosecutors said.
In pretrial detention documents obtained by the ABC7 I-Team, prosecutors said Paporakis described himself as a "sociopathic white supremacist Neo Nazi filled with hatred" who drove to a location, attempted to fire his gun at a man, but the gun jammed. He had been planning the attack for two years, according to court records.
Good on that coworker. Quietly keeping an eye on the situation, sounding the alarm when things escalated. An unsung hero. Of course that didn’t stop the shooter from showing up and attempting...

Of course that didn’t stop the shooter from showing up and attempting murder, I guess that jammed gun is a hero too. WTF is wrong with people? Really relieved he failed to harm anyone.
“Paporakis” dude is an ethnic white, I feel like some of these groups gotta learn that know matter what other groups they target in this country they’ll never be “white white”

Really? Greek people seem like the most "white white" you can get. I mean, racist white people are obsessed with the concept of "western civilization", and they're the ones who kinda started the...

American "White" keeps growing as a category to maintain an in-group large enough to maintain political relevance. It used to be that only white anglo-saxon protestants (WASP) were "white", and...

Turbo racists will just call them "basically Turks" and that's that. For this guy ancient Greece may have been the start, but for others Western civilization as a benchmark of whiteness starts at...
Turbo racists will just call them "basically Turks" and that's that. For this guy ancient Greece may have been the start, but for others Western civilization as a benchmark of whiteness starts at the crusades and subsequent colonisation, not the ancient Greeks. Then again, don't listen to me, nazi rhetoric (or any other white ideology) is notoriously inconsistent and you can mostly make it up as you go. It always starts at your rung and goes down from there.
Wasn't that long ago the Irish weren't considered white. From there the Italians, the this the thats. It's all nonsense anyway.

Live Updates: 3 Children and 1 Adult Killed in Shooting at Oregon Elementary School
We can't get a break from it. I should not have to have a protocol for looking up my students by zip code in case of mass shootings in their home town. Temples and shuls and churches should not have to fear being targeted. Children should not have to learn "run hide fight"
I've got friends that live in the area so this hits sorta close to me. Glad the gun jammed and glad the coworker reported them. Sad to see racism expand like this but not unexpected given the...

I mean in America it’s really about the WASPs. And also, they like to cosplay Greek but they don’t actually want Greek people

I don't know what to do about it anymore.
