His reason could be really stupid...
Could be he just hated rap music. Not in a racist way, just because it is awful. Or if he hated rap it could be because he viewed it as a cultural pathogen infecting other forms of music.
He cased a rap festival earlier in September, then starts shooting at a country western concert.
What do they have in common?
Believe it or not, both concerts may have rap in common.
Oddly enough he waited to the last set of the Country festival to start shooting. He waited until a guy named Aldean comes on.
Jason Aldean’s got a hit song [groan] that is a rap song, called “Dirt Road Anthem.”
It is excruciating. It could possibly drive me to do something horrible.. It should only be reserved to torture people at Gitmo.
I don’t know if he sang it that night, but if he did, and if that’s the moment when the murderer started shooting... it might very well be that his anger was overreaction to rap music.
Stupid? Yes. Is there some reason to expect blood-lusting nuts to have good reasons?
Anyone have a program for the festival?
Oh look... Beautiful Life festival rap... meets country hip hop rap. Someone mentioned the killer called to complain about the noise people were making in the room below his the night before. Anyone hear that? Seems a little sensitive to sound for a guy planning mass murder with an arsenal in his hotel room, doesn’t it? Anyone know if it’s true? People have been killed for dumber reasons.
So after casing the rap concert he returns to kill at the country festival, but not until it is nearly over. He’s a whackjob.
Evidently people were awaiting the hip-hop “country” song “Dirt Road Anthem” when all hell broke loose....
