" The manifesto is, quite frankly. . The Diary of a madman" He Said . " He knew what he was doing. He was 100% lucid. He knew what he was doing and again, it's disappointing that anyone would go to these lengths to hurt someone else".
Mr Waters said Palmeter had been briefly detained for 72 hours in 2017 under The Baker Act, Mental Health legislation that allows The involuntary detainment of an individual for treatment.

Mr Waters also confirmed that Palmeter let Some People out of The Shop without injuring them.
" Why? I don't know. Some of them were white, but I do believe there was a couple that were not, " He Said .
US Attorney General Merrick Garland said on Sunday The Justice Department was " investigating this attack as a Hate Crime and an act of racially motivated violent extremism".
" No person in This Country should have To Live In Fear of hate-fuelled violence and No Family should have to grieve The Loss of a loved one to bigotry and hate, " He Said .
The Attack happened less than a mile from The historically black Edwards Waters University.
Palmeter first went to The university campus, where he was asked to identify himself by a Security Officer , The university said in a statement. When he refused, he was asked to leave.
" The individual returned to their car and left campus without incident, " The Statement added.
