What the Knoxville Shooter was thinking

His intended suicide note has been released.
Others have pointed out that he intended this as a political protest. Argueably a form of terrorism.
I support the first ammendment rights of all. Even extremists like neo-nazis.
It is better to give them rhetorical rope to hang themselves than to stifle their speech.
However that only works if there is a counterpoint arguement to be heard.
Sad fact is media conslidation has left us with few media outlets giving other viewpoints.
And hate speech is frequently flaunted as main stream opinion on AM radio every day.
Most Americans are not aware of the role of extreme talk radio played in Rawanda and Yugoslavia.
I wonder if the station and program managers who program this stuff without ever offering saner voices in their lineup understand what they have wrought.
