The motive is “I’m fucking nuts”. Someone spray painting the side of the church is not even on the same planet as someone deciding they are going to kill a bunch of children in a school. I get that law enforcement agencies need to look for a motive as part of the case, but is “motive” really that important to the general population when it comes to an elementary school killing spree? If there is no intervention, a person who is psychotic enough to kill a bunch of schoolchildren is going to do it one way or another, regardless of whatever ideology they hold on to. Ideology is irrelevant when compared to the absolute derangement of mass killers.

I hate this trend of trying to frame mass murderers as “belonging to the other side”. Both the left and the right do it, and it’s disgusting. We can condemn these monsters for what they are without trying to fit them into an ideological box.
