Sounds like the killer became a Neo-Nazi because he had to repress parts of his identity and couldn't stand being something he was "supposed" to hate.
This is why we need to be intolerant of intolerance.
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

If you can't self-accept then you might self-attack. But why self-attack when you can project and scapegoat?
He may have been jealous of someone that was able to freely live as themself.
Why do these “master race” assholes always look like they’re rocking an extra chromosome?
Same reason Republican women who support banning abortion will willingly get an abortion and say it's not the same

And we'll do it again! Wah-pow!
This story reads kind of weird. At first they make it seem like it was some gay love affair gone wrong and it's quickly spins to his connection on some website to travelling to meet with potential murderers in different states? All over the course of what 1 year? Strange
Not strange if the angle they're going for is nazist manhunter squads.
What a piece of shit, but also does six years seem like a really long time between arrest and trial?
Woodward’s trial has faced similar lengthy delays. Woodward has switched defense attorneys several times since 2018, and his defense team has repeatedly highlighted his Asperger’s diagnosis as justification for why he should be declared unfit for trial.
In 2021, the then newly elected Orange county district attorney, Todd Spitzer, called the then three year delay (partially due to the Covid-19 pandemic) in Woodward’s case “unreasonable”, but was unable to advance the case until last summer. Jury selection was started and swiftly abandoned in early March after Woodward threw a cup of water at the judge.

Oh that's nice. Some ambulance chaser is defending a Nazi who killed a minority by claiming another minority isn't capable of coherent thought. There is being a zealous advocate and then there is bigotry.
Totally off topic, and with respect for the dead, “Blaze Bernstein” sounds like a 90s action movie star.
Even more off topic: they're literally called Woodward and Bernstein, but instead of going after Nixon, one murdered the other.
Plot twist: the one we call Woodward is a body double under deep cover since no one in the Nixon sinking ship ever released him from duty.
We like to think that HB is the soul of nazi's in California, but Newport, just across the river, has it's share.
Isn't that where Arrested Development takes place?
Beats me, I've never watched AD. It's been on my list of shows to watch, just haven't got around to it.
It is worth watching. Beware of hop-ons.

Why hasn't the Pope condemned this action in Latin and English?
