I'm very confused about what you think is going on here. I pointed out that the "definitely not a hate crime or racism" claim is very much unfounded.
The proof of which was already on the person making the claim anyway, but I listed why the perpetrators would've had to have clearly seen the person they shot at before they made the choice to shoot, based on the chain of the events in the reports, as a little bit of extra disproving for the sub claim that they probably didn't even know who they were shooting at. I didn't claim at any point that it definitely was racism, just that blithely claiming it definitely wasn't racism was just a symptom of a bad case of head-ass-occlusion.
The guy before you did say it in definitive terms though, and then you said they probably didn't even see her. I killed two birds with one stone rather than fork the conversation, by saying they almost certainly saw her and it's by no means certain racism didn't play a part.
You're arguing for something that we both know you can't prove, but you're not treating it as one.

Yeah, and I never said it was definitely not a hate crime. I said it probably wasn't.

Well, I can't argue a position that isn't mine.
Not unless I'm intentionally playing Devil's Advocate.
