Pittsburgh Fitness Club Shooter - Another Wingnut Racist His Blog Shows
-----

"Maybe soon, I will see God and Jesus. At least that is what I was told. Eternal life does NOT depend on works. If it did, we will all be in hell," Sodini apparently wrote, before adding later, "I was reading the Bible and The Integrity of God beginning yesterday, because soon I will see them."

Sodini had apparently been planning the attack for some time, even writing that he put off his original plan until after November's 2008 presidential election, in a rambling entry that complains black men have their choice of the best white girls.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/Story?id=8255530&page=1

In it he captures his twisted ramblings on everything from the election of Barack Obama, to his view on women in general, religion and an alleged failed attempt to complete his "project" in January. "Last time I tried this, in January, I chickened out. Lets see how this new approach works."

23. It is LONG past time for the media to start using the proper term for these violent killers:

TERRORISTS

3. His Blog
November 5, 2008:
Planned to do this in the summer but figure to stick around to see the election outcome. This particular one got so much attention and I was just curious. Not like I give a flying fcuk who won, since this exit plan was already planned. Good luck to Obama! He will be successful. The liberal media LOVES him. Amerika has chosen The Black Man. Good! In light of this I got ideas outside of Obama's plans for the economy and such. Here it is: Every black man should get a young white girl hoe to hone up on. Kinda a reverse indentured servitude thing. Long ago, many a older white male landowner had a young Negro wench girl for his desires. Bout' time tables are turned on that shit. Besides, dem young white hoez dig da bruthrs! LOL. More so than they dig the white dudes! Every daddy know when he sends his little girl to college, she be bangin a bruthr real good. I saw it. "Not my little girl", daddy says! (Yeah right!!) Black dudes have thier choice of best white hoez. You do the math, there are enough young white so all the brothers can each have one for 3 or 6 months or so.

Reading his crappy blog - this guy was a whacko - can't say for sure he is RW but he looks to be a racist and a sexist.

10. Yeah, it's tough to completely nail him as a RW....
In fact, at one point, he goes off on somebody who he pegs as a "fundie."

But with all of the many shades of batshit crazy in his writings, I wouldn't take a single word of it at face value. Complete and utter whack-a-doo, that one.

14. I am sure he was...
...however, I really think that we give these loudmouths way too much credit.

Murderous, lonely and demented assholes have been doing this sort of angry shit since the beginning of time. Even before talk radio, there are plenty of instances of this happening all around the world.

5. But you see, he can't be a terra-ist because he talks about Jesus, not the Prophet Mohammad
Remember the hullabaloo about the Homeland Security report saying that right wing religious groups could be a terrorism threat?

6. Holy crap- Just scanned his blog....
Psycho with a capital PSYCH!

He was complaining that women didn't like him, hadn't had sex in close to 30 years... If he put out the same vibe in person as he did in his blog, it's no freakin' wonder.

17. Don't Know, But I Can Tell You One Thing
I don't know if the Pittsburgh killer does , but if he had a Freeper handle, the folks over at FR will be going through their archives and scrubbing his posts faster than you can say 'Jim Robinson'!

I sense a subpoena is in his future if this idiot was a Freeper.

8. this remark
"...in a rambling entry that complains black men have their choice of the best white girls."

11. We're seeing more and more of this...
For a number of reasons, some people just find it impossible to connect with other people face-to-face and cannot integrate themselves into society (I can relate)...But tragically, the only solution for some of them (i.e. the VT shooter) is to go out in a rain of bullets taking other innocents with them....

12. The full text of the blog looks like he also had issues of religion.
Sounds like the guy was just plain crazy, but also racist and mysognist. But it doesn't look like religion was the motivation of his acts.

15. I don't think politics was a motivator in this case.
He seemed to blame his isolation on everyone else. There was little introspection there, he did not wonder what he was doing wrong, he thought he was a normal person. I was an isolated guy for a long time and I can almost feel his pain. For some intimacy is an extraordinarily difficult thing and you start to envy others who can seemingly connect without effort.

I read this man's blog and I heard echoes of the man I could have been had I not learned to stop blaming the world for my own inner pain. He hated women for their lack of interest never guessing that insecurity is the greatest turn-off. He was completely superficial and probably felt that only the most perfect woman would do, so he chased a woman only until he found a flaw.

This man was the product of a lifetime of bullying by both sexes and worked an anonymous job. I guarantee that fight club was his favorite movie.

20. It wasn't politics that drove him to this...
It was loneliness and Incel (Involuntary celibacy).

21. Racist 48 year old goes on shooting spree on Obama's 48th birthday...
weird symetry.

Is it possible that this loser was feeling inadequate because a black man of his age had accomplished so much more in life?

and let them know why. Get some publicity for it. Something has to stop this lunacy. rec'd

26. I think he probably hated everyone, liberals and freepers alike. He seemed to complain about any
men who were able to get women, not just black men.
On his blog, he called out fundie right wingers and Obama.
He thought black men had their choice of white women, yet another time talked about a black man he heard on a radio station who had an interesting perspective, yet was lampooned by the dj.
He thought the man made sense and wished he could have heard more from him.

Like I said, I think he hated everyone. Black, white, male, female, liberal, conservative, religious people, etc.

28. Yeah, his comments about the caller to the talk show seemed to indicate
that this guy actually was capable of being far more thoughtful that your typical loser asshole Freeper. It sounds like more of an absolute mental health tragedy than anything else, as far as a complete inability to develop interests and relationships in his own life.

29. The intersection of male sexual fear, racism, and hatred of women: this has been a fundamental

theme in the American psyche since almost the beginning. It's unusual to see it stated so explicitly.

I don't mean that every American male embodies this, but that it has been prevalent in the population and has an enormous effect on our history and culture.
