Law enforcement officers are investigating whether a retired federal agent had about 30 minutes advance notice of a white supremacist's plans to murder Black people at a Buffalo supermarket, two law enforcement officials told The Buffalo News.

Authorities believe the former agent – believed to be from Texas – was one of at least six individuals who regularly communicated with accused gunman Payton Gendron in an online chat room where racist hatred was discussed, the two officials said.

The two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation stated these individuals were invited by Gendron to read about his mass shooting plans and the target location about 30 minutes before Gendron killed 10 people at Tops Markets on Jefferson Avenue on May 14.

These mass shootings are beginning to become very suspicious.

I’m stunned a newspaper actually sent a reported to investigate and then they actually printed an article regarding their investigation. Heads will roll...

This is probably about those Discord conversations the shooter was having. I hear the Buffalo shooter was on Discord too. Probably just a little MK ultra going on.

Just remember the name Ray Epps, and you know what will become of this.

You can’t convince me regardi.g the Texas shooting, that a deranged Trans kid with mental issues and a part time Job at Wendy’s could afford TWO top notch AR 15’s plus ammo and extra Hardware on those guns and not go unnoticed.

Then tell me that the LEO confronting the Trans Kid after he kills Grandmother and crashes Vehicle in a Ditch outside a school let him into the School and allowed him to lock himself in a Room full of kids and shoot them like fish in a barrel while 4 Law Enforcement Agencies tackled down willing Parents from rescuing ther kids?

You have got to be a Lunatic Democrat with Incel tendencies to believe it was lack of “Gun Control”...

They might get caught this time.

Yep. And the FBI also knew about the Texas shooting several hours in advance based off a tip.

This is gonna be like claims that folks knew about 911 in advance—lots of theories, lots of investigations—but at the end of the day—zip, zero, nada comes of it.

Probably will just be attributed to incompetence as usual.

Reasonable doubt: between the two rifles, ammo, and armor...figure around $5k. The burger-flipper job? Take-home pay, I’d guess somewhere around $1,200 if he was working full-time (begs questions because he was still in school, so it had to be part-time and lesser income).

No license. No vehicle. Only habits he had...gamer. Probably would have generated the income in six months for the hardware.

He had dropped out of school and worked full time for nearly a year.

“of a white supremacist’s plans”

Not worth reading further

It is very suspicious as always. Just a side note. From what I have seen the trans thing was debunked. The real person in those photo’s was identified, and it was not the shooter.

I read he wasn’t graduating because he mostly skipped school, but he did go to work. 30 hours a week x $12 an hour x 52 weeks is sufficient to buy a couple of expensive rifles.

And body armor too, from what I am reading...

Because they happen so close to elections? Or when someone wants to change the subject? I’m not sure what you’re saying.
