Residents of rural Conklin, New York were stunned Saturday by the news the gunman accused in the Buffalo supermarket attack was a teenager who lived in their town.
Payton Gendron, 18, allegedly drove his parents’ car over 200 miles from Conklin to Buffalo Saturday to massacre 10 people in a racially motivated mass shooting he live-streamed on Twitch.
Conklin is a sleepy community of about 5,000 people on the Susquehanna River just north of the Pennsylvania border in Broome County and 10 miles south of Binghamton. The population is 95.7 percent white, according to Census estimates.
Photos from the shooter surfaced this morning and it seems they might explain the whole situation

“The Buffalo Shooter Have A Symbol On His Chest That’s Used By The Azov Battalion In Ukraine.”
But who writes a headline like that? Makes me wonder what the writer’s native language is.
(Yes, I am from the Grammar Police.)
Freudian slip for more than one shooter?
More likely just blissful ignorance of grammar by a J-school graduate...
...still I wonder.
Grammar Police on patrol.
Doing the job that newspaper editors won’t.
Good work.
Wikipedia:
The Black Sun (German: Schwarze Sonne) is a Nazi symbol, a type of sun wheel (German: Sonnenrad)[1][2] employed in Nazi Germany and later by neo-Nazis. The symbol’s design consists of twelve radial sig runes, similar to the symbols employed by the SS in their logo.[note 1] It first appeared in Nazi Germany as a design element in a castle at Wewelsburg remodeled and expanded by the head of the SS, Heinrich Himmler, which he intended to be a center for the SS.
Whether the design had a name or held any particular significance among the SS remains unknown. Its association with the occult originates with a 1991 German novel, Die Schwarze Sonne von Tashi Lhunpo (”The Black Sun of Tashi Lhunpo”), by the pseudonymous author Russell McCloud. The book links the Wewelsburg mosaic with the neo-Nazi concept of the “Black Sun”, invented by former SS officer Wilhelm Landig as a substitute for the Nazi swastika.[3][4]
Deep State is activating its MK-Ultra assets...
A pro-Ukrainian Leftist. Not a good optic
Well, I thinking NOTHING about this that gets on the net, or anywhere else, without the FIB going over it first.. As we all know, there's always photoshop.. And, as we all know, there is NOTHING about the DOJ that we can now accept as truth without some serious thought...
Nobody is mentioning the fact that this vicious crazy was actually picked up by the State Police a year ago because he was threatening to do a school shooting. He was evaluated (I think in-patient) and referred to counseling, although it’s not clear whether he went to it, because he dropped out of school at that time.
Supposedly the state police investigated him, and he shouldn’t actually have been legally able to buy the weapons that he did because he was under mental health care.
This is just like the Sandy Hook killer and other adolescent male loonies who for some reason are allowed to just keep festering until the actually do carry out their threats. He lived at home during all this and nobody noticed? Supposedly his parents had been very involved in local school activities.
In any case, his politics involved not only racial purity fantasies, but eco-extremism, and he described it as “left authoritarian.”
All wrapped up with a nice little bow on top.
Known to state and federal law enforcement. Left to fester in an environment of is own hate and teenage rage.
(Maybe we can use his brain defect and resultant medication in the future to bolster OUR position on something.)
I checked out the Rick Wilson twatter thread. I’m completely disgusted by these people.
Completely disgusted.
I have nothing in common with them.
A disturbing video (see above) emerged that may show the suspect driving up to the Tops store.

There is a role for grammarians, but learn to do it right. A good teacher doesn’t just say it is wrong, but teaches with a better way of saying it. Once they understand the better way, they will join you in teaching others.
There is much teaching to do here on FR. It is not taught in schools anymore.
Amen
Some posters want to persuade you by displaying their lack of education and communication skills.
Some posters want to persuade you by displaying their lack of education and communication skills.
But it takes a learner and a teacher. One without the other is incomplete. And we all should have hats for both jobs.
The shooter have? Stopped right there.
I saw somewhere that the suspect has been considered a possible suicide risk. So, they take your clothes and give you this paper like covering .
Whenever a Muslim kills people, the media says the shooter had mental issues, but when it’s a non-Muslim, we hear all about the ideology of the killer (unless it’s a leftist).
