Um no. Again.
I'd bet that this Christian nationalist, just like the Boston Bombers, were simply disturbed men who had failures in their lives, and other radicals gave them an excuse to get violent.
There had to be a lacking in their own social lives long before they did those things, to lead them to the respective hate groups that gave them a voice.
But it isn't sexy to say someone went postal because they were a failure in their own lives. It is more sexy to say someone murdered for a greater good.
There are plenty of Christians and Muslims and Jews and atheists that don't do these things. So the real issue is what leads a disturbed individual to make excuses to do these things. Financial instability, family instability, love relationship failure, and work failure can all be reasons for an individual to look for other groups to validate their scapegoating.
