Brother in law of the suspect speaking at presser

The Muslims speaking at the Presser seem to be assuming that the attacker has jihadis motives - well at first it seemed that way. The brother in law is offering zero insight though. He has no idea why he'd do something like this. "A nice normal person".

Those at the presser say they don't know the motive themselves.

This association is getting ahead of the story, probably a good idea because their voices would otherwise be drowned out.

Update: that was a weird presser, they jumped in there but ultimately said nothing other than "don't blame Islam" and he was a nice normal guy we're in shock

at this point we don't know the motive. We do know that the guy is Muslim. That isn't much to go on. It seems to be an act of terrorism, but without the actual motive who knows if it was politics or religion that was the motive.

If the guy wasn't Muslim we would be speculating about work place violence I think.

And I was really getting pissed at the press for tormenting the brother- in -law when he came to tell how sorry he was for the victims and he's shocked as well. He didn't have to come and do that ,but he did.

Then, when he said he could not answer certain questions because of investigation etc. they wouldn't leave the poor man alone.
