I don't understand how anyone could do that, regardless of race and I sure in the heck don't understand where they are coming from. There is no justification at all.

Well, I'll give my perspective. Imagine you live in an area where no one looks like you. You are stared at, ridiculed for your features, told you are ugly, worthless, less than a human being. You go to restaurants and stores and are either treated like a thief or ignored. People cross to the other side of the street when they see you. You are called names, harrassed, spit on, maybe even beaten.
Many of these things have happened to me, and lots of other minorities in this country. I am NOT excusing his behavior, because killing someone is WRONG no matter what the excuse. But I do understand his sense of frustration in a world that treats many people as second class citizens.
And this is not the first time in history that people have been killed because of their appearance. And its sad that all those times occured as well.
