    I’m probably reading into things here, but then again we all are.

    I saw cold hate in his posture when he did the deed. This is someone who lost their beloved to an algorithm.

    And, yeah, he could be one of literally several million people that way.

      Really? Have you watched the uninterrupted start-to-finish footage? I struggled to find emotion of any kind. The way he walks toward Thompson after shooting him, clearing his pistol’s misfire, is so unhurried and casual - it’s what I look like putting my earbuds back in their case as I walk. The dude does not look emotional or even remotely stressed that he just shot someone in full view of another person.

        That’s what I mean by “cold.” More “past the point of emotion.”

        Passionate violence is a different thing. Like you say, it looks very logical and planned. Casual.
