from the article:
Westman's journal also hinted at some disturbing and confused political views which appeared to have been virulently Left-wing and anti-Semitic.
One page included a trans pride flag sticker with 'Defend equality' printed across the bottom and a sticker of an AK-47 assault rifle on top.
In another, the shooter wrote 'I hate fascism' but soon added: 'I also love when kids get shot, I love to see kids get torn apart'.
Westman called Jewish people 'penny-sniffing' and added: 'FREE PALESTINE!'
The shooter indicated desires to carry out a 'final act' against 'a target of political or societal significance…. Targets like [Elon] Musk, Trump or some significant exec'.
In fact, it should perhaps come as no surprise that Westman admitted to having a particular admiration for the monstrous Lanza - who'd been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome aged 13 and, according to his father, suffered from undiagnosed schizophrenia.
The similarities between the killers are many and chilling.
Lanza's mother, whose relationship with her son so degenerated that they were only communicating by email despite sharing the same house, was the first victim that Lanza killed.
Now it appears that this particular animus may have been shared by Westman towards mother Mary Grace
'I am feeling good about annunciation. It seems like a good combo of easy attack form and devastating tragedy, and I want to do more research,' Westman wrote.
Another page read: 'I have concerns about finding a large enough group. I want to avoid any parents, but pre and post school drop off.'
'Maybe I could attack an event at the on-site church,' Westman went on. 'I think attacking a large group of kids coming in from recess is my best plan … Then from there I can go inside and kill, going for as long as I can.'
