Buffalo shooting: Ten dead in racially motivated attack at New York state store
BBC News ^ | May 15, 2022

Posted on 05/15/2022 4:52:25 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

An 18-year-old white man has shot dead 10 people in a black neighbourhood of New York state in what authorities are calling a racially motivated attack.

The man, named as Payton Gendron in court papers, was arrested after a stand-off at the scene - a supermarket in the city of Buffalo.

He began firing in the store's car park before entering and continuing his rampage, streaming the attack online.

US President Joe Biden condemned what he described as an "abhorrent" act.

"We are investigating this incident as both a hate crime and a case of racially-motivated violent extremism," said Stephen Belongia, from the FBI's Buffalo office, adding there was evidence of "racial animosity."

CBS news reported that the attacker shouted racial slurs during the shooting and suggested that he had a racial slur written on his weapon. He also apparently posted a manifesto online which included racist language and ideas.

The suspect is believed to have driven for some 200 miles to reach the predominantly black area of the city. Thirteen people were shot in total and the majority of the victims were black.

Yeah. Hypocrisy at it’s worse. Racism is a two way street. There can never be harmony if some people don’t see that.

No, it was an SUV that attacked the children and Grannies.

And, had the shooter been Black, the gun would have gone rogue and killed all those innocent people.

“An 18-year-old white man has shot dead 10 people in a black neighbourhood of New York state in what authorities are calling a racially motivated attack.”

All over America & the world, the media and the rest of the left are saying, “Whew, it is about time.”

....I dunno....between the unrest that is taking place over the SCOTUS’ pending Roe v. Wade case, and yet another !! COVID vaarient that is sure to hit this country right before the mid-term elections, a race war is also possible....I wonder how long it will take for the gun-grabbers to come out in force advocating for the ban on all “assault weapons” and “weapons of war”......counting down.....5.....4....3........1.....

I may be wrong, but I don’t recall race ever being mentioned in the reporting on that incident (and many others).

The first two online stories I saw today on the Buffalo shooting, however, independent of one another, pointed out in the first sentence that the perp was white.

Why am I not surprised?

SCOTUS is supposed to rule next month in a case that could result in nationwide shall issue.

Impeccable timing.

Columbine happened the same month that we were supposed to get shall issue concealed carry here in Colorado. Delayed it for years.

I believe you’re correct. That was blamed on the SUV as I recall.

He likes AZOV nazis. He was just wanting to be like a nazi. He wears their symbol on his shirt.

I wasn’t shocked to read that this morning because our government aids and abets nazis in Ukraine and pretends they don’t..
