Prior to the shooting, Gendron wrote a 180-page manifesto titled "The [[Great Replacement]]", named after the racist theory that white Europeans are being demographically and culturally replaced with non-European people. He blamed Jews for non-white immigration and wrote that non-whites will commit genocide on the white race in the manifesto. The manifesto also includes details on the planned shooting and racist and anti-Semitic memes. Gendron also wrote about his admiration for previous mass shooters who were motivated by racism, especially [[Brenton Tarrant]]. | Prior to the shooting, Gendron wrote a 180-page manifesto titled "The [[Great Replacement]]", named after the racist theory that white Europeans are being demographically and culturally replaced with non-European people.

Gendron also wrote about his admiration for previous mass shooters who were motivated by racism, especially [[Brenton Tarrant]]. Much of it appears to be plagiarized from Tarrant's manifesto, leading one news reporter to call Gendron's manifesto "a knockoff term paper that plagiarized past mass shooters". | ||
