According to Dave's rule number 2, hard to say conclusively since there were no political statements made indicating that he was trying to reach a political solution by fear or intimidation.According to the (now credible somehow) Wikipedia article ... Police detectives later said it appeared Ferguson had been planning the shooting for more than a week. Chief Joseph Flynn of the Long Island Rail Road police said, "This was the work of a deranged, maniacal person who for a variety of reasons decided to explode."[13] None of Ferguson's victims were black, although it was unclear whether any other black passengers were aboard the train. Ferguson showed no emotion as he sat in the back of a police car, which some passengers said was as shocking and disturbing as the violence of the shooting itself. Upon seeing Ferguson, one of the victims became hysterical and shouted, "How can he be sitting there so calm after everything he did?"[13] Police found pieces of notebook paper in Ferguson's pockets with scribbled notes with the heading "reasons for this".[10] One of the notes referred to "racism by Caucasians and Uncle Tom Negroes".[2] They included a reference to "the false allegations against me by the filthy Caucasian racist female on the #1 line", a reference to his February 1992 arrest. Ferguson's notes expressed anger toward the New York State Workers' Compensation Board, Asians, Governor Mario Cuomo,[11] and "so-called civil right leaders such as the Rev. Herbert Daughtry, C. Vernon Mason, and Calvin Butts".[2] They also included the names and telephone numbers of the Lt. Governor, the Attorney General, and the Manhattan law firm that Ferguson had previously threatened,[2] whom he referred to as "those corrupt 'black' attorneys who not only refuse to help me but tried to steal my car".[11] The notes indicated Ferguson planned to wait to start the killings until he was beyond the New York City limit out of respect for outgoing Mayor David Dinkins and Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly.[11] Ferguson showed no remorse during hours of questioning from the Nassau County District Attorney's Office. Officials there said, "He was lucid and clear and aware of what was going on."[11] Ferguson was arraigned on December 8, 1993. He never spoke during the arraignment and did not enter a plea. He was ordered held without bail.[2] As he was escorted from the courthouse, a reporter asked him if he hated whites, to which Ferguson replied, "It's a lie."[11] But then again, I wouldn't expect republican sympathizers to be able to discern anything beyond the official republicanspeak that the Colorado shooting was different. |
