Shane Fletcher wanted to emulate Columbine High School shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who killed 13 people in 1999.

While on licence for the 32-month sentence he received in June 2016, he was placed on a government counter-terrorism programme but refused to engage with it.

As well as the Columbine pair, Fletcher was said to be obsessed with Dylann Roof, a white supremacist who murdered nine black worshippers at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, and Cumbrian taxi driver Derrick Bird, who killed 12 people during a rampage in June 2010.Key evidence used against him was a diary found at his family home, which included one entry boasting that his home town would be"destroyed" and that he would"show no mercy" during his rampage.

Facebook messages between Fletcher and his"only friend" Kyle Dixon were subsequently recovered, which showed the defendant trying to persuade Mr Dixon to join him in the murderous attack. The court heard that Mr Dixon was a young man with"significant problems", who had suffered a brain injury, and that his initial enthusiasm happily petered out.Judge Patrick Field QC rejected the idea that the conversations were"no more than fantasy" and told Fletcher he was motivated by hatred, revenge and nihilism.

A mentally ill, angel faced, lonewolf...

Is he a White Supremacist? Seems like he’s just idolising mass murderers in any way, shape or form.

White racism.

If only the billions spent on psych research could work out why copycat behaviour happens? I would point them in the direction of WesselyS & his memory work as that has impressed our current PM theresa_may Dementia and Mrs Thatcher

But considering white supremecy is the largest threat I'm surprised (not really) to not see 'white supremacists attempt to kill basically anyone else thwarted'

White supremacist executed in Texas, 20 years on from black man's torture and murderThe first white man in Texas to be convicted of the murder of a black man was executed on Wednesday night, after 20 years on death row. h_alexander So why don't you show him strapped to a gurney, instead of smirking like an ass? Or perhaps a Cartoon of him roasting on a spit in Hell! h_alexander If ever there were a case for capital punishment, this dude would probably be it. Any reason why it's delayed 20 years? Not familiar with the State's justice system. h_alexander Funny how you don’t get it Shaun ! But you are not alone ! Most humans don’t . The gap of 20 years is cos that’s the real punishment . Dying is not a punishment .
