Ideas from the "great replacement theory" filled a racist screed supposedly posted online by the white 18-year-old accused of targeting Black people in Saturday's rampage. Authorities were still working to confirm its authenticity.

Of course, it cannot possibly have anything to do with the culture of gun violence in America, and the lack of sensible gun control laws. Of course, it could not have anything to do with some severely disturbed 18 year old being surrounded by a culture of glorified violence!
