Whereas the armchair analysis of random internet posters with few or no facts has always been right on the money.

Yeah, I hate armchair analysis. That's what the media does.

I love to speculate, though.

It bothers me when people expect other people to refrain from speculating about such events.

It's pretty much impossible. :D

Link with the quote about "you have to go".

Pinckney’s cousin told WAFF-TV that the gunman specifically asked for the reverend before Bible study and sat next to him before opening fire. The cousin says survivors told her that the gunman told them, “You rape our women and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go.”

I somewhat doubt that by "you" he meant "Methodists".
 
usually, to get arrested and booked for trespassing, it has to have been repeated.

You don't usually get arrested and booked for trespassing once or twice.

Or possibly he was a thief, but they couldn't prove that at the time, so they went with trespassing.

People are free to speculate all they want. But when their speculation is baseless and immediately follows a dismissal of assessments by people with more information than they have, that speculation will be mocked and criticized. And rightly so.
 
Media reports say that suspect said that he wanted to kill black people. Sounds like an assassination style race hate crime
 
'I have to do it. You rape our women and you're taking over our country. And you have to go.'

If he'd been targeting Mexicans that could easily be Donald Trump talking...
