Like the Kansas attacker, Mark Stroman of Dallas thought he was targeting Middle Easterners, and thought he was protecting America.
I am shocked by the murder of Srinivas Kuchibhotla in Kansas, and want to share some things I learned reporting on a similar crime in Texas.

President Trump's administration has quickly leapt to say his talk and actions have nothing to do with this crime.https://www.google.com/amp/www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/white-house-denies-race-hate-9912890.amp …

I would like to explain why the president is dead wrong on this one. He has everything to do with this, and I can explain.
-
What I learned reporting on the Stroman spree, which occurred right after 9/11, is how such an act is dependent on circles of enablement.
-
Frankly, Stroman wasn't intellectually sophisticated enough to channel his anger in this direction on his own. He needed help.
-
When I reviewed his letters, prison writings and blog posts, what amazed me was how he had stolen so much language from his social betters.
-
It mattered greatly what politicians and pundits said, because it gave his inchoate drifter emotions a purpose and a narrative.
-
He heard talk of "enemy combatants" on the news. He was inspired by that to call himself an "allied combatant."

@AnandWrites thanks for your insight, Anand. This is truly so heartbreaking. My thoughts are with his parents back in India. -
@AnandWrites Parents take such pride their children are in America, the land of opportunity. And this is how their child is returned to them -
@everylastline@AnandWrites and I wish I could be convinced that more blood wont be shed. This is his fault he incited the worst of mankind. - さらに表示

@AnandWrites will you please write about this off twitter so I can share with others? -
@AlexMLeo@AnandWrites I created a Moment out of these tweets if you'd like to share:https://twitter.com/i/moments/835504846245617664 … -

@AnandWrites Excellent thread. Remember: Tom & John Metzger were found liable for the deadly effects of their hate speech. -

@AnandWrites I ask every immigrant engineer to revenge this murder. Use your engineering skills and expose Trump and his crimes. -
@HawaiiS17@AnandWrites Uh "I designed this bridge to reach Trump's illegitimacy!" -
@ChrisRywalt@HawaiiS17@AnandWrites blaming the president for a murder as there are so many and always has, it´s... just... sad. -
@ValeriaCaubet@ChrisRywalt@AnandWrites It's sad for you. But he is responsible and someone is dead at 32 years old. Karma will return. -
@HawaiiS17@ChrisRywalt such a low logic to blame Trump, there has always been murder at the US. There is nothing to be surprised about. -
@ValeriaCaubet@HawaiiS17@ChrisRywalt perhaps it would help this discussion if you searched out Milgram's study on obedience to authority. -
@jcharles0412@ValeriaCaubet@HawaiiS17 To be fair, the Stanford Prison Experiment was extremely flawed. -
@ChrisRywalt@ValeriaCaubet@HawaiiS17 Milgram didn't conduct Prison experiment. That experiment was run by Philip Zimbardo. - さらに表示
