I’m confused, how is Tarantino associated with The Shape of Water? I’m not finding him on the IMDB page for the film...

With a lot of planning, he could have killed them with a bomb. With a knife and a lot of stealth, he probably could have. With a bat, he certainly would not have been able to kill two people and severely wound a third — bludgeoning takes too much time, he would have either been stopped or someone would have run away.

So…

What an amazing professional he is. I am extremely impressed that he just continued playing.

It could be either, but “Honkie” does imply that the writer isn’t white.
