If the pic I saw on another site is correct, he is an adult white male.

“Was Greene a “teen,” as I suspect.”

No Greene is not a teen.

Greene is in his forties.

Nope, a 46 year old white man who looks older than me, and I’m 56.

Wonder what his motive was. Obviously not BLM related, right?

No. minutes after the attacks, it was reported that he’s a white supremacist, so you know what the story will be for the next 6 days.

Yeah, but that’s not a motive, unless the cops were not white, in which case it allows one to infer a motive.

They will say he is “mentally ill”. Case closed. Fry ‘em!

When they give first, middle, last names, it’s code for a white man.

Greene was recently asked to leave a high school after “displaying a Confederate flag.” You can guess how the Left is going to politicize this. There seems to be a history of mental illness in the family.

site this AM had video of a non-violent confrontation with police at a football game. He had been in the stands with an American and Confederate flag harassing some blacks and the police removed him from the stands. He was haranguing near the street with police much as some of the anti-police perps have done in recent videos. The thought left by the writer of the post was that this event was the causal factor in the shooting.

Exactly. I can’t believe he’s 46. He looks 66.

"Round up the usual suspects"

This guy might be guilty as hell, but nowhere does the reporting suggest evidence or specific motive. He's clearly poor in his judgment (now that the battle flag is officially a hate crime), probably feels persecuted (by mom & life in general), but description of the football confrontation hardly rates as rage driven or violence prone...It even reads like he turned himself in without fuss when he learned he was wanted.

What led the law to name him a suspect?
