    Between the words “once lucid” and the expression on his face in his mugshot, I actually feel bad for the guy.

    Don’t do meth, kids.

      He’s not regretting what he did, he’s regretting that he botched it and got arrested.

      “There was a white male, camo vest, red hat, and white t-shirt walking with a possible long gun down Duss Avenue,”

      Can you think of any “red hat” that would be associated with people who would want to do a mass shooting at a black church?

      Not to mention the manifesto they found at his house. This guy needs to be locked up.

        DeLuca told KDKA-TV that he and his department believe the incident was not racially motivated but brought on through a combination of Harris’ alleged use of methamphetamine and his mental state at the time of the incident.

        And his house was rigged up and booby trapped so you’ve got to think about how much of it was actually drug-induced psychosis and how much of it was racially motivated.

        Meth can fuck your mental state up for a significant stretch of time, multiple days. It’s enough out-of-your-mind time to write a manifesto and commit a shooting.

        But you might be right, I’m just going off what the article claims.
