(CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago shootings this weekend have left at least 20 people shot, one fatally, police said.)
WASHINGTON (AP) — A masked white man carrying at least one weapon bearing a swastika fatally shot three Black people inside a Florida store Saturday in an attack with a clear motive of racial hatred, officials said.
The shooting in a Dollar General store in a predominately Black neighborhood left two men and one woman dead and was “racially motivated,” Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said.
In addition to carrying a firearm with a painted symbol of the genocidal Nazi regime of Germany of the 1930s and 1940s, the shooter issued racist statements before the shooting. He killed himself at the scene.
“He hated Black people,” the sheriff said.
The shooting came on the same day thousands visited Washington, D.C., to attend the Rev. Al Sharpton’s 60th anniversary commemoration of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “I Have A Dream” speech.
Rudolph McKissick, a national board member of Sharpton’s National Action Network, was not in Washington, D.C., on Saturday. Yet his thoughts on the shooting touched on issues raised by the civil rights leader.
“The irony is on the day we celebrate the 60th commemoration of the March on Washington, where Dr. Martin Luther King stood up and talked about a dream for racial equality and for love, we still yet live in a country where that dream is not a reality,” McKissick said. “That dream has now been replaced by bigotry.”

Begin the countoff 3-2-1 before the left uses this as an example that the entire USA is a white supremacist racist country.
No mention of the black murderer killing black people in chicago.
Amazing how fast a motive for the shooting has been established.
The 17 other shootings were fine, but those three black folks shot by a white dude? That’s different.
Note how prominently the race of the criminal is mentioned in this case, differently from other cases.
Dear AP,
You want to know what racism looks like? It looks like your coverage.
Where is the Tranny manifesto MSM????
Based upon decades of phony “racist” incidents perpetrated by the looney left, I’m skeptical that the white shooter was really a Nazi.
I think that King, for all his myriad faults, would despise that racist pig Sharpton.
This event smellz funny.
Headline you won’t see from the AP even though it happens:
Black shooter kills 3 white people in Florida hate crime as Washington celebrates King’s dream
How black folks shot each other yesterday? With Ar15 “style” weapons?
Crazy how this happens right after it’s announced that Biden aides and Jack Smith’s aides met before Trump’s indictment, right?
Most of these shootings are one criminal gang member shooting a rival criminal gang member. Sometimes an innocent gets caught in the crossfire but mostly in cities like Chicago, it is one gang member killing another gang member over drug territorial disputes.
Let’s be a little truthful here, shall we? MLK Jr’s. “Dream” has been butchered by those bass turds, O’Bama and his buddy Holder. Those two arsehos lit the fuze that started this “racism” booschidt all over again. Both of those biatches need to be locked up.
Which field office was the shooter from?
Just in time to coincide with martin king 3 speech about racism,gun violence and voter disfranchisement
Might I name a white killer who continues to lead the entire edifice of systemic racism?
Joe Biden.
The guy was clearly a jerk. But all this fulminating about it being a hate crime it’s a little comical. It’s like an 80 to nothing run away football game, and losing it because the other team scored a field goal. Don’t worry, you’re still gonna win the game.
