I'm currently within walking distance of Trump and Kim

life was better when they were very, very far away.

Also, the security is crazy. and traffic. lol traffic. My family was stuck idling at a roadblock for about half an hour while waiting for Kim and his entourage to drive from the airport to the hotel.

Minassian yes, but internalised racism and hatred of his mixed race identity was a big part of Rodger's motivation.

I'd also argue that it's white incels who are more likely to resort to violence and have that come to fruition, which is where the entitlement and all that come in.
