It is not my fault that your attempt to provide a thought-provoking article was a complete failure.
There are two primary sources who have stated the man's intent: he was motivated to shoot the child out of racial animus.

I think I might be fascinated by such a story. The pity I have for you might even evolve into sympathy.
