Yes Zarahan, the examples you cite are an anomaly, very infrequent.
There is no "anomaly" nor is such white activity "infrequent." 95% of the mass murderers are white Even more "volume" was obtained by white "role models during the Holocaust, and the mass extermination of tens of millions in the Americas. That was no "anomaly" or "infrequency" either. Using HBD models, carefully planned mass murder is ingrained genetically in white "role models."

Suspects in crime spree allegedly wanted to ‘purify’ and ‘preserve’ white race
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A young couple accused of killing four people in a multistate crime spree last fall have been indicted of federal racketeering charges alleging the rampage was part of a campaign to “purify” and “preserve” the white race, the U.S. Attorney for Oregon, said Friday.
A federal grand jury handed up the indictment Thursday against David “Joey” Pedersen, 32, and Holly Ann Grigsby, 25, prosecutor Amanda Marshall said in a news release. Grigsby will be arraigned Monday in Seattle. Pedersen’s arraignment in Portland hasn’t been scheduled.
“The indictment in this case alleges horrendous crimes were committed as part of defendants’ white-supremacist campaign to kidnap and murder targets on the basis of race, color, religion and perceived ‘degenerate’ conduct,” Marshall said.
They are charged in the killing, kidnapping and robbery of four people last fall: Pedersen’s father, David “Red” Pedersen, and stepmother, Leslie “DeeDee” Pedersen, on Sept. 26 in Everett, Wash.; Cody Myers, a 19-year-old from Oregon on Oct. 1; and Reginald Clark, 53 of Eureka, Calif., on Oct. 3.
Clark was black and Grigsby allegedly told investigators that Myers, a Christian, was killed because his name sounded Jewish.
The 24-page indictment charges that Pedersen and Grigsby were members of a criminal enterprise whose aim was to promote a white supremacist movement. The pair robbed their victims to finance the campaign, stole their cars to escape and murdered them to eliminate witnesses and avoid capture.
The enterprise, according to the indictment, also targeted Jewish leaders and members of prominent Jewish organizations. Pedersen researched the names and addresses of Jewish organizations in Seattle, Portland and Sacramento, Calif., to identify potential targets for elimination.
“He possessed a draft ‘press release’ to alert the media about the purpose of the planned murders,” the indictment states.
The indictment includes no indication that he came close to killing any Jewish leaders.
Pedersen pleaded guilty in Washington to killing his father and stepmother and was sentenced in March to life in prison without the chance for parole. The federal indictment charges him and Grigsby with numerous other crimes.
“There’s a significant federal interest in pursuing justice for all the offenses,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Jane Shoemaker said in a phone interview.
Grigsby is still awaiting trial. She confessed in a five-hour videotaped interview with Oregon state police, a Washington prosecutor wrote in a court document.
Her attorney in the Washington state case, Peter Mazzone, said Friday he would be willing to defend her against the federal racketeering charges, if appointed.
“We were working on a defense for her, and we were developing it,” he said. “But, of course, now this has happened.”
The Washington prosecutor announced in May he wouldn’t seek the death penalty against Grigsby because the killing spree was led by Pedersen.
Mazzone said the issue of “the extreme undue influence exerted on her” is a potential defense.
Grigsby and Pedersen expressed white supremacist beliefs in media interviews. Pedersen has a tattoo of a swastika on his chest above his heart and an image of Adolph Hitler on his stomach. The blue initials “SWP,” for Supreme White Power, are on his neck.
The pair was arrested outside Yuba City, Calif., when a police officer spotted them in Myers’ car. Authorities had been tracking them by use of stolen credit cards and had alerted police in several states.

Walton Henry Butler Allegedly Shoots Everett Gant, Told Police After Arrest He 'Only Shot A N----r'
Florida man expressed indignation after being arrested July 30 for supposedly shooting a black man in the head, explaining to police that he had "only shot a n----r," police said.
Walton Henry Butler, 59, allegedly shot the 32-year-old Everett Gant in the head, who visited his Port Saint Joe apartment to confront him about making racist comments to children in the apartment complex, according to the Broward Palm Beach New Times. The blog reports that Butler proceeded to eat dinner as Gant lay bleeding outside his door and cites an affidavit saying that Butler used the racial slur when questioned by the sheriff.
Butler is charged with attempted murder with a hate crime enhancement.
Police said Butler called 911, and expressed confusion at his arrest. "He was brought to the investigation unit where he was interviewed and basically admitted to shooting the victim and said he shot a, used a racial slur, and said that is what he shot and acted like it was not like a big deal or anything to him," Gulf County Sheriff Joe Nugent told WJHG.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this story linked to a source that incorrectly listed Gant's condition. WJHG reports that Gant is in critical condition.

Boy 'glad' he spoke out after hearing racial slurs at Pennsylvania swim club
(CNN) -- Tears streamed down 12-year-old Marcus Allen's face in 2009, as he recalled how members of a private suburban Philadelphia swim club had hurled racial slurs and worried aloud if he and other mostly minority day campers might steal from them.
Today, Marcus is just about to turn 15 and hit the gridiron as a running back on his high school football team. He has grown up in more ways than one -- including having experienced discrimination firsthand and seen the U.S. justice system in action, its pursuit of justice driven in large part by his and other adolescents' accounts of what they had seen and heard that summer.
"I'm glad that people saw and felt what I felt," Marcus, who is black, told CNN.
The U.S. Justice Department announced Thursday that it and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission reached a settlement with the now-defunct Valley Club of Huntingdon Valley, two and a half years after filing a lawsuit against the club.
Under terms of the deal, the club -- which filed for bankruptcy in November 2009 a few months after the incident and had its property sold for $1.46 million the following June -- agreed to payouts to more than 50 children like Marcus who were part of the Creative Steps Day Care Center, their counselors and Creative Steps. The distributed money includes whatever "remaining assets" from the club's property sale are left over, with $65,000 set aside to create a diversity council made up of former Valley Club members, Creative Steps counselors, campers and their families to promote community healing, the U.S. Justice Department said.
Marcus' mother, Aletha Wright, who owns Creative Steps, told CNN on Friday that her son grew up in a white neighborhood and goes to school with mostly white students. In his first 12 years, she said her son hadn't had any problems.
"This was a culture shock for him, because Marcus didn't know racism existed," Wright said.
The day care center based out of northeast Philadelphia had paid the Valley Club $1,950 in June of 2009 so its camp children could access its pool over the summer.
But when young day campers came to the predominantly white club for the first time on June 29, "the children reported hearing racial slurs," the Justice Department said.
On July 3, 2009, "the club refunded the day camp's membership fee and prohibited the children from returning to swim" according to the federal agency -- a decision the Valley Club contended then was not due to the campers' race but because "we underestimated the capacity of our facilities."
Marcus, who was then 12, told CNN soon after the incident that he'd heard some club members say, "What are these black kids here? They might steal from us."
"It's kind of sad that people still thinking like this," the tearful boy said. "I thought those days were over."
Three years later, his mother said she feels that interview had an impact "because (viewers) saw a child. They didn't see an African-American child. They saw a child -- before the world -- being discriminated, and he innocently just wanted to take a swim."
The recently announced settlement could net each camper between $15,000 and $30,000, depending on their involvement in the incident, according to lawyers.
Many of them plan to use the money to help pay for college, the day camp's civil attorney Brian Mildenberg said. But not Marcus, who said he has other plans.
"I want to open my own business and do something like Steve Jobs did," the teenager said.
Wright, his mother, calls the settlement "bittersweet," though she does feel "justice was served."
Another civil lawyer involved in the case, Gabriel Levin, said he believes the young campers involved get more than money from the case.
"It's a great life lesson for these kids," Levin said. "They experienced something terrible and justice prevailed."

Video captures Michigan man's shooting by police
Saginaw, Michigan (CNN) -- Three days before Independence Day, Milton Hall died in a fusillade of police gunfire outside a strip mall.
He had been arguing with officers in a parking lot next to a shuttered Chinese restaurant when he was shot, in full view of passing motorists and while he was holding some sort of knife. Saginaw County Prosecutor Michael Thomas said later that the squad of police confronting him opened fire "because apparently, at this point in time, he was threatening to assault police."
Thomas' office and the Michigan State Police are investigating Hall's death. Saginaw Police Chief Gerald Cliff said Hall was "known to be an assaultive person" with "a long history" of contacts with law enforcement, "not only with police from our department but with the county."
Hall's cousin, Mike Washington, acknowledged Hall had been jailed for minor offenses like vagrancy in the past, but, "He was not violent." And Hall's mother is growing impatient with the probe and questions why police opened fire so furiously on her son, whom she said was mentally ill.
"It appeared to be a firing squad dressed in police uniforms," Jewel Hall told CNN from her hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico. "There was another way. They did not have to kill him. He had not done anything. He was not violent. He was not a murderer. He was not a criminal."
Jewel Hall said her son had once trained as a civil right activist, been an avid reader and played football. He had lived in Saginaw for 35 years and received Social Security disability payments for a mental illness, but, "He knew his rights."
"Everybody knew him. The police knew him well," she said. "So that's another question: they knew him, so why? Why did they kill him?"
WJRT: Community questions police shooting
The July 1 shooting happened in a parking lot on West Genessee Avenue, a busy commercial strip on the north side of Saginaw. In a video purchased by CNN, shot by a motorist from across the street, the 49-year-old Hall is seen arguing with a half-dozen officers. For more than three minutes, he walks back and forth, and at one time appears to crouch in a "karate stance," according to the man who captured the scene.
Police said Hall had just had a run-in with a convenience store clerk. On the video, he tells police, "My name is Milton Hall, I just called 911. My name is Milton, and I'm p---ed off." When an officer tells him to put the knife down, he responds, "I ain't putting s--t down." He appears unimpressed by a police dog, telling officers, "Let him go. Let the motherf---ing dog go."
Finally, he turns to the left of the frame, where another officer had moved out of view a short time earlier. It's then that the police open fire with a reported 46 shots in a five-second hail of bullets.
"I'm stunned that six human beings would stand in front of one human being and fire 46 shots," Jewel Hall said. "I just don't understand that. It's a lot of pain in that because it only takes one shot, so the question is why?"
She questioned why none of the cameras in the police cars at the scene recorded the shooting -- "none of them work."
"So that's the question I have and the community has is, what's taking so long?" she said. "Why is not being transparent?"
Lou Palumbo, a former Long Island police officer, told CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" that the video is "a perceptive nightmare" for a police department and could reflect a lack of training by the officers.
"This wasn't a scenario where he was discharging a weapon in their direction," he said.
But Palumbo added that the shooting may yet be determined to be justifiable. "One of the things the public has to understand, an individual wielding a knife at you at about 20 feet can be on top of you in a split second," he said. "The public doesn't know this because they don't do this for a living."
Neither state police nor the prosecutor's office would comment on the investigation. In a written statement to CNN, the state police said, "Our focus is on conducting a complete and thorough investigation, rather than a hasty one."
But Saginaw City Councilman Norman Braddock, who also has criticized the pace of the investigation, said the probe should be a "top priority."
When CNN showed Braddock the video, which he hadn't seen before, he said, "This is disturbing."
"I can see what people are traumatized at, looking at something like that," Braddock said. "We need answers."
Jewel Hall said her family is conducting its own investigation into the shooting, "and at the end of that investigation we will decide what next steps to take with our legal advisors."
