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.

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?
