Editing Randy Stair (section)

== Motivation and Character ==
Although Randy Stair reportedly endured bullying in his youth, it was, from what can be gathered, not the defining factor behind his actions. Journal entries dated from November 23, 2016 through June 5, 2017, contain disturbing revelations about Stair's character. In these entries, Stair expressed an admiration of the perpetrators of the [[Eric Harris|Columbine High School]] [[Dylan Klebold|Massacre]], [[Eric Harris]] and [[Dylan Klebold]]. The contents of his journal even reflect those of [[Eric Harris]], the elder of the two Columbine shooters. The first line of Stair's first entry pays homage to Harris with the quote, “I hate the fucking world”, a line from Harris's journal. Randy's revelations, however, were not limited to his journal. Stair dedicated an animated video to the shooting, titled “The Westborough High School Massacre”, which depicts a school shooting similar to that of Columbine. Stair's usage of shotguns and propane tanks, along with three purchased 'Natural Selection' t-shirts, also solidifies an inspiration derived from the shooters.<ref>[https://heavy.com/news/2017/06/randy-stair-weis-market-shooting-shooter-tunkhannock-pennsylvania-victims-photos-facebook/ Randy Stair: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know], ''Heavy''</ref>
