    I mean, fleshed out enough to do what they did, I’m at least from their own perspective.

    That’s not necessarily “fleshed out” in my opinion. That’s just conviction. I’d consider fleshed out to be something you’ve thoroughly explored. If you’re vehemently anti-trans yet have never met one then suddenly change course after meeting one, that wasn’t fleshed out. Now that whole example may or may not be true in this case. I certainly haven’t seen anywhere near enough info to confirm or deny. Just kinda a hypothetical using some of the reporting happening.

      Well sure but its not really your belief that matters. All that matters is that they believe they were justified in doing what they did. I mean they went ahead and did it. Its self evident, is it not?

      And I would hope for all of our sake, yours and mine included, that we’ve fleshed out our believes more sufficiently and more completely to not blame marginalized groups and individuals for the failures of a system. But then we’re not the one coming to the conclusion the shooter made either, are we?
