White supremacist killed by black guy - motive a big mystery

Excerpts - bold is mine - the rest here

A white supremacist lawyer was stabbed and beaten to death by a black neighbour who had done yard work for him at his home in Pearl, Mississippi.

A preliminary post mortem showed Richard Barrett, 67, was stabbed multiple times in the neck and bashed in the head, Sheriff Ronnie Pennington said.

He had burns over 35 per cent of his body, though investigators believe he was killed on Wednesday night and his house set on fire Thursday to cover up his death.

Pennington did not disclose a motive but said neighbour Vincent McGee, 22, was charged with murder on Thursday and deputies charged three other people in the case on Friday.

Barrett traveled the country to promote anti-black and anti-immigrant views and founded a supremacist group called the Nationalist Movement. 

McGee was released from state prison in February after serving five years of a six-year sentence for simple assault on a police officer and grand larceny.

Barrett, a New York City native and Vietnam War veteran, moved to Mississippi in 1966, just before he founded the Nationalist Movement.

He ran it from an office in the small rural town of Learned, about 20 miles southwest of Jackson, where he also ran a school for skinheads.

Barrett attracted about 50 supporters to a 2008 rally protesting the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday in the Louisiana town of Jena, where six black teenagers were charged with beating a white classmate.

Yes, this killing is really baffling the police.  Why,  OH WHY, did McGee do this?  It's a mystery.  Did you ever notice ... in 99% of these brutal crimes nobody talks about motive.  I wonder why that is.  No doubt nothing a gaggle of suing lawyers mouthful of legalese couldn't explain. Hell, they don't even explain WHY they keep mum about the motive.

 

I don't see why people can't speculate as to a motive.  Is that illegal?  Has it come to that in America ... you can't even say what you think?.
