A mass shooting is being reported out of Buffalo at the Tops [supermarket] at 1275 Jefferson Ave, Buffalo, NY. According to unverified reports, a shooter was taken out by gunfire. However, police say they have one person in custody. There are reports that “bodies [are] everywhere.” At least nine individuals have been reported shot, more than five of them in the head. At least one fatality has been reported.
Far be it from me to defend the FBI, but what exactly are they supposed to do in these cases?
It is not against the law to have extreme views or say stupid things and for every one of these nuts who act out there are probably a 1000 more that somebody called about. If the person broke the law they can investigate/prosecute, but unless that is established a crazy person has the same constitutional rights as every other person and who defines crazy? The elite media and left think that you and I are “crazy”.
It is a slippery slope.
Fact. We would have to lock up 1000’s of people or institutionalize them all when only a handful of them will act out like this. The rest will just go on making the people around them uneasy but won’t do anything like this.
I have plenty of criticism for the FBI and how political it has become but this is the one “issue” where I think they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.
Using this logic of locking up 1000’s to prevent one nutjob is the same principle the left uses to target AR-15 rifles when only a handful of those might be involved in some horrific insanity like this.
You cannot even get them committed for mental health treatment for more than a few days in all but the worst incidents.
As stated above, most of these incidents involve mental illness with a heap of media induced grievance. Our country is in a dangerous place right now for so many reasons but many (mostly on the left) exacerbate the problems and we all live with the tragic consequences of crossing paths with disturbed persons.
Prayers for the victims and their families. This is awful on every level regardless of any “politics” that might be inserted.
They might even roll out the “dropped the ball” excuse again. It’s been a while since we heard that one so they may pull it off the shelf again and trot it out.
Exactly. I can't see how a supposed "to do list" was posted anywhere in a game room or social media account without that reaching the FBI's or LE's radar.
Then there are always the family warnings which are ignored as well. We'll probably get some of that in this one too.
It is almost like these whackos believe in pre-destination or something thinking that if they can post or produce warning signs and not be stopped that they were pre-destined to do it. You see this with the jihadists as well. Allah granting them the ability to avoid detection and kill as if it was Allah's will that directed them on their path and not by their own actions. If they aren't stopped somehow in any evil deed they cook up, then Allah willed it to happen.
Looks more like a Neo-Nazi.
It would really be nice to get a Like feature at FR.
Supermarket in the Hood has mass shooting - it’s Saturday when all the crazies are let out and running around.
update
10 dead
all bystanders are of one race only....
and they don’t look moslem!
Dear God, this is horrible.
What’s also awful is the immediate politicization of 10 people being slaughtered by a madman. On the left AND the right. The right assumes false flag/mkultra scenario, the left screams all Republicans are violent racists.
It’s possible this guy is simply evil.
Suspect in New York state mass shooting described himself as a white supremacist and anti-semite in online manifesto - per @bnonews
Yup. Time to rustle up lots of flowers, heart shaped baloons, teddy bears, wreaths and candles and the Gov, Mayor and other hack pols to do the photo ops in front of the step and repeat backdrops talking 🐂💩 about the endless cycle of gun violence and the NRA has blood on their hands and blah blah blah. Which a-hole celeb issued the first mindless tweet?
Even fox news doesn’t mention it anymore.
The left “wins” when they keep us stirred up about race.
I don’t care about color - that is their game. We are all children of God. These are human beings with loved ones and friends who will be grieving an incomprehensible loss.
Don’t let them bait you into engaging in their schemes. They will always win because they make the rules and it has nothing to do with unity, compassion, or the will of God. It’s about power and they will sacrifice thousands to achieve power.
Yes, without doubt.
Could not find an MLK Drive, but MLK Park is 0.9 miles, or 1.0 miles away, depending on the route. Must be a coincidence.
Good grabs, as usual.
Could be just a another gang issue for all we know.
