Here's the sentence in context;

"First of all, I think it's very hard to untangle the motivers of this shooter," said Obama. "I'll leave that to psychologists and people who study these kinds of incidents...I think the danger is that we somehow suggest the act of a troubled individuals speaks to some larger political statement across the country."

I agree that it is unfair to attribute the homicidal actions of James Alex Fields to everyone in the alt right or white nationalist movement. You can't judge an entire group for the actions of a single individual or small group of individuals.

"What do we want? DEAD COPS!" -BLM

Can you provide me footage of the "alt-right" chanting and calling for the death of obese communist white women?

Also, why are you so sure this guy killed the landwhale intentionally? There's a real possibility (with mounting evidence) that he got surrounded and assaulted, thus tried to get the fuck out of there in a hurry. You are talking out of your ass when you say the driver made "homicidal actions." Maybe if these dipshits weren't in the street impeding the flow of traffic, fatty-fat-fat would still be sucking down milkshakes and Big Macs.

I'm willing to see what comes out in his trial. Maybe additional facts will cause me to change my mind. On the other hand my suspicions might be confirmed. Time will tell.

Usually quotes out of context can be used to only highlight an agreeable support for a topic. Your context provides as much, or more, import to his quote and is even more enlightening to the current situation.
