Edit: read og source, he’s from Prescott in Yavapai county, lovely county but lots of that attitude there.
And the person who posted it is no better, apparently a state the size of AZ is one place, so no mention of WHERE in AZ this person is from.
For reference, one county in AZ, Cochise, is larger than the states of Rhode Island and Conn combined, but we’re all the same and why let details get in the way.
Easier on s.media to elide over useful details for emotional impact.
Why does location matter? That county I mentioned, Cochise, is red ag country, while Coconino, where the Grand Canyon is, and the Navajo rez, is blue.
They’re 6 hours drive apart at the borders and thousands of feet different in elevation, e.g. Coconino has skiing. Could it be that different people populate those places?
So some readers might like to know, for their safety, where that maniac is from, beyond vague handwaving.
If I ran an instance, I’d delete every one if these airheaded detail-free posts that are simply for angering rather than informing.
I think Lemmy can do better than Reddit, which also seems populated by posters who haven’t been anywhere beyond mom’s basement.
It would be great to see the 5 W’s provided in every post here.
Forest for the trees, here. Oops, I’m sorry, the guy isn’t 1600 miles away, maybe it’s 1800 miles, maybe it’s only 1500, but what it is is a whole fucking long way to go to kill people because you don’t like what they look like.
This isn’t about Arizonans, or whatever you call people who live in Arizona, it’s about a guy who lives a long way from Atlanta who wants to kill black people enough to want to go that far to do it. It certainly isn’t unique to that county, or that city in that county, and it is pretty fucked up.
