The article titled "Racial Motive Seen in Mississippi Shooting" was posted in the New York Times in 1996. This article describes and event that occurred involving a busy, mainly black shopping center, and Larry Wayne Shoemake. Larry Shoemake was a 53 year old man who was found dead after he fired and approximate 100 shots into a crowded shopping center. He killed one and injured five. He died in the fire that he set of the shopping center. This neo-nazi white supremacist was found dead with an AK-47, MAC-11, AR-15 and a 12 gauge shotgun laying next to him.
I found this article disturbing because of the level of hatred showed in his actions. I find it hard to believe that one man could hate a group of people so much, that he would think that it would be a good idea to go shoot up a shopping center. It makes me sick thinking about this man and what must have been going on in his head.
