What We Know About the California Church Shooter
The shooting is being investigated as a possibly “politically motivated hate incident.”
www.vice.com
"As U.S. authorities searched for a motive in the mass shooting at a California church that killed one and injured five others, one question has consumed Chinese and Taiwanese communities worldwide: Is David Chou, the 68-year-old suspected shooter, Chinese or Taiwanese? Don Barnes, an Orange County sheriff, identified Chou as an immigrant from China in a press conference -- he said the Sunday attack at a Taiwanese church in Laguna Woods was possibly motivated by his political hatred of Taiwan."
But new details have proved that it is a lot more complicated than that......Chou is Taiwanese born.....but this story will prove just how complicated and sometimes arbitrary identity can be...
And now the kicker...at the time of the shooting, this guy was roommates with a self-proclaimed alt-right Nazi by the name of Jourdin Davis...and to make my point about identity being arbitrary more clear; Jourdin is black but hates that part of himself and identifies as white, but to make it even more clear how much he hates himself, he decided to be a Nazi too....Here is Jourdin going into the church shooter's room right after law enforcement searched it
Did these guys meet at some reactionary-right wing support group for confused people with fantasies of mass murder?? Because Jourdin has some thoughts on targeted murders of innocent people too -- well, I guess if they are "brown people" they aren't innocent and wannabe Nazis like him should allowed to shoot them on sight...
These two guys should have been a test case for why people no matter their race, identity or nationality can live together in peace....but when you bring up hatred of Taiwanese people even tho you yourself are Taiwanese -- or hatred of non-white people, even tho you yourself is non-white -- then things become fucked up...and you end trying to murder people in a church....again.....
