Treating mindless savages with civility is a futile gesture.

When Jesus talked about forgiveness he is assuming repentance from the offender(Luke 17:4) not the unrepentant that even God doesn't forgive.
If someone is coming to destroy. It's prudent to destroy them first. Especially those savages here.
My natural inclination is to agree with this because it fits my biases. However is there any scripture that is more explicit about not forgiving the unrepentant? It's implied but not explicitly stated in that passage.
I don't think so. I will gladly eat my words if I am wrong.
I believe we are supposed to forgive regardless. Check out the parable of the man who is forgiven a massive debt but is incapable of forgiving a petty debt in Matthew 18.
I don’t think the concept of forgiveness has anything to do with living around savages and letting them destroy you. Any Christian society would purge the wicked intent on destroying its institutions and killing or subjugating its people. We don’t live in a Christian society though. I just think we need to form communities capable of self defense when the society at large is at best indifferent.
Christianity is not self-defeating pacifism. The religious case for ethnic nationalism/separatism is more compelling than secular arguments -- forced multiculturalism is a chronic source of conflict and violence, forever pitting us against each other to where our mind is preoccupied with anger, stress, and safety concerns rather than Christ.
All nations are worthy of God's salvation, and it's inevitable that we interact with those from other nations, treating them as we treat ourselves. There is no imperative however to forcibly and unnaturally integrate when it only leads to tension, violence, and sin. I support the brotherhood of separate nations through Christ, not the dissolution of nations without Christ.

These proponents of multiculturalism are trying to usurp God and achieve a secular paradise like the Tower of Babel, and it’s going to end up the same way.

Do we have details which contradict this possibility?

Yes. Styx covered it. He's a black nationalist. there were other suspects. Given the ideological background, location, and recent events there's a very good chance it was retaliation for the verdict.

There's also a difference between 'forgiving" as in not holding a grudge. I may be able to forgive someone who cheats me out of a deal, but that does not mean I'm ever going to sign my name on any contract that has their name on it.
Charlottesville comes to mind
I think as Christians, we are to be forgiving on a personal level, both because God has forgiven us, and because it is better for our own hearts to release the anger.
I think the Bible clearly presents a model of the government catching and dealing with criminals as a matter of justice. This seems applicable: Proverbs 24:24-25 "Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,” will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations. But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them."
Fox News has the name and photo of the suspect on their front page. CNN and MSNBC do not. Also, Wikipedia editors keep reverting attempts to put his name in the article even though mainstream media such as Newsweek have reported it.

Leftist media is definitely trying to de-politicize it since it doesn't fit the narrative.
