Nope. I did know some morons out there thought mass or school shootings weren't a big deal and complained civil rights encroached on their feelings of white supremacy. Never knew his name specifically because it feels like there's a whole cluster of those idiots who no one ever taught the Golden Rule to. Be kind and treat all people respectfully.
I felt bad about him dying because having idiotic ideals doesn't mean he didn't deserve life, but I also kind of chalked the event up to darwinism. If someone constantly puts themselves in front of the masses promoting hate and violence, its only a matter of time before hatred and violence finds them. In that aspect, he probably wasn't fully innocent of the event himself as so many have made him out to be. I never heard of Hitler himself ever personally killing anyone, but his rhetoric and influence of others was the cause of plenty of deaths. Murder is always wrong.
