The shooter who killed three black people at a Dollar General in Jacksonville, Florida, Saturday once worked at a discount retailer — and stopped at a Family Dollar, where a security guard’s presence caused him to leave just before he carried out what police say was a racially motivated attack.

Ryan Palmeter, 21, who is white, had worked at a Dollar Tree from October 2021 to July 2022, Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said Monday.

“Based off what we saw: him stopping off at the Family Dollar and working at a Dollar Tree previously and then him going to Dollar General, that was his intent the entire time,” Waters said.

“Why that store? Still hard to tell.

Right. They love building up the suspense and innuendo.

Shopping around might be related to this:
“Where do the Ku Klux Klan guys get their robes and pointed hats?”

“KKK Mart.”

Stop calling it a manifesto. It was a suicide note, however long and drawn out.

The manifesto was that he bred blacks and anybody he didn’t consider “white.”

But the bottom line was that he was crazy, literally living in his rural, modest-income parents’ back room, and had been released to
Them after being Naker acted a few years ago.

Virtually all of our racist (either black or white) or gay/trans loonies who have killed people in the US have been known to be mentally ill. Crazy people pick whatever vibe is out there.

We need better mental health care.

I think he probably meant “Baker acted”... meaning involuntarily committed to a mental institution because they are a danger to themselves or others.

Lewis died before most of this crap started. Terrific humorist. He even made them laugh while being interviewed on NPR, when he talked about how the bushes in San Francisco had “amazing personality.”

Nobody believes the racially motivated propaganda anymore. Leftist democrats in media lie.

Love his books and read probably 90% of them. A loss to humor when he died.

We need to re-open the mental health hospitals closed in the 1970s. Most mass murders started taking place after they were closed and the crazies released on the street.
almost all were known to have mental problems.

BUT, if we do reopen the clinics and use the 1950s standards for incarceration, many in the Biden administration will be the first in line for beds.

Bad guy with a gun moved on when he saw a good guy with a gun.
