Alexandre  Bissonnette seemed particularly interested in Dylann Roof, a white supremacist who killed nine churchgoers inside a church in South Carolina, searching for references to the mass murderer 201 times during that month.

He also looked up references to Marc Lépine, the man convicted of killing 14 women in 1989 at the Polytechnique engineering school, and looked into feminist groups at Laval University.

A far-right killer researched other far-right killers obsessively? Color me shocked.

Sounds like he would of become a Marc Lepine copycat if he didn't go for the mosque.

But his choice of target would likely be different.

Like Dylann Roof, he seems like he would have shot some place up even if he wasn't a far-right radical.

I'm a little late to the party on this. When was it apparent that Dylann Roof would've been a mass shooter regardless of his politics?

Both Roof and Bissonnette seem less like terrorists who used a mass shooting as a tactic and more like stereotypical mass shooter personalities who used a far-right idealogy as a way to compensate for their inadequacies. I say this because they both had backgrounds and traits (I.E. obsession with mass shooters, heavy introversion, childhood bullying) that are more strongly associated with vanilla mass shooters than terrorists who used mass shootings as a terror tactic; to put it another way, if instead of committing a political based shooting, Barend Strydom or Benjamin Nathaniel Smith shot up a random street corner or a college, would their background seem in line with other non-political mass shooters?

Oh ok. That makes sense.

are there any shooters that Roof specifically mentioned?

Not to my knowledge; I had Alex in mind when I mentioned that. For Roof specifically, his apparent OCD and "somatic delusions" are what I would classify as being "vanilla" mass shooter associated.

201 times? This guy was proper fucking obsessed.
