I blame the shooter. Motives are motives but he still pulls the trigger.
I think no one holds the shooter blameless, but that's of more limited value. It's straightforward to keep the shooter from doing further harm. More complicated is the task of mitigating the chances of radicalization leading to more spree shootings.
It doesn't even necessarily have to involve limiting speech, but it does suggest that a social media feed really needs to mix it up and avoid a feedback loop of one sided thought and rage.
What if someone had repeatedly told him to do it? Wouldn't that person also be to blame?
