Rifle in suspect’s car matches sniper bullets

A homegrown terrorist, who happens to be Black and is a converted Muslim. Is this some weird kind of blowback with an unhinged individual latching onto radical ideology to justify slaughter?

The Coming Anarchy: Shattering the Dreams of the Post Cold War, by Robert D. Kaplan 2001, clearly, if gloomily posits a world quite a lot like the one starting to emerge. Regional conflicts acerbated by religious and ethnic conflicts. A growing poor population at odds with the wealthy nations. A view, I think, that helps explain (not excuse) terrorism.
