    “I’m sorry that [we were] not able to protect your loved ones,” she told a crowd of thousands at a vigil. “You belong here; you are valuable for our society.”

    sounds like the support from the community afterwards was pretty strong… and reading the attacker’s comments, he’s one of those guys who romanticize the Confederacy among other racist things…

      It’s the same pretty much everywhere and anytime conservatives try to use violence. They think people will flock to their cause but don’t get that the vast majority of people, regardless of ideology, do not want to kill people and find murder reprehensible. This leads to these terrorists losing ground constantly and driving people who’d at least been uninterested in their worldview into being vehemently against it. Terrorism like this results in outcomes to the contrary of what the terrorists were trying to achieve.
