I agree the dude is a headcase, but not that he was a berserker mindlessly blasting everything in sight.
For one, He was lucid enough to at one point aim his gun at a man lying on the ground beside a cash register, then quickly say "sorrry" and move on when he noticed the man was white. And I don't doubt that, because i've actually seen that part of his livestream. He also had the n-word written on the barrel of his gun, and the number 14, likely a reference to white supremacist terrorist David Eden Lane's Fourteen Words. He's written a manifesto talking about Great Replacement Theory, and how the US should only be white, and that the attack is meant to scare non-whites into leaving the US. Investigation into the dude has uncovered that he had meticulously researched and planned his attack on that specific store because it was in a black neighborhood.
You can do the "benefit of the doubt" thing if you want, but the amount of evidence he was there to shoot black people is significantly greater than anything else. His having shot some white people does not disprove that. These situations tend to be very messy, panicked people running everywhere while the shooter rushed through trying to find as many targets as possible, and these shooters are not John Matrix, capable of staying cool and efficient under stress. There will be stray fire, and a high risk of collateral damage as a result. Or probably from his pov, friendly fire.
