It is an unthinking mob mentality wherein a large group siezes on a
characteristic of one who sought to commit  a crime so great in scope that
it evoked a widespread racist reaction. Certainly the perpetrator succeeded
in at least causing this much trouble and brought needless violence down on
other Asians there on campus by his actions, but this does not excuse the
hysterical and racist mob mentality on the part of the white students.

It's just a really sad episode.
