that angry white guys are too stupid/crazy to take their hate causes seriously. Something a lot more humiliating than the insanity defense, except for the media which doesn't want to tick off crazy white guys or maybe because their owners and bosses are crazy white guys.

Maybe the response by the general non-shooting(so far) ranks of crazy white guys is: "Geez, Joe lost it and went out and shot some (insert various victim slurs). Now they'll want to take our guns". Maybe it isn't whispered among themselves either. The insane defense doesn't work so well if the insane do the defining.
