The mass shooting in Buffalo, New York will dominate the news cycle a bit more. The bad economic news is just too much to ignore. Americans can and do have the ability to be horrified by this tragedy, but also worry about how they’re going to pay the bills. For mothers, the lack of baby formula has become a more pressing concern. Domestic crises will drown out the Left’s call for more gun control and the silly narrative about the existential threat we face from white nationalists. No one cares because they know the threat isn’t real. This was done by a crazy person.
Payton Gendron shot and killed 10 people at Tops Friendly Market. He’s a racist. He’s an eco-fascist. He’s a green nationalist. And he’s not a conservative. He even thanks God that conservatism is dead, or so he thinks. It’s all in his 180-page manifesto. Yet, how did this even happen? Gendron was on the radar of authorities when he threatened to shoot up his high school and commit suicide last year. He was brought in for a mental evaluation. What happened? The story stops there. Obviously, he wasn’t mentally adjudicated. He passed a background check. So, what gives? Well, apparently, threatening to shoot up your shoot or kill yourself isn’t enough to be declared mentally unwell in New York (via WSJ):

People just don't want to get involved BUT the store had an obligation to report him.
Predictably, as soon as the media scum learned the perp was one of their own (far left scumbag), they dropped the story faster than than the implosion of cnn+.
I guess it doesn’t fit with his case, but if someone were at risk of being declared “mentally ill” it might be a workable strategy to tell the doctor that you are “trans” or homosexual. I suspect that doctors would be very reluctant to call you crazy then, no matter what other things were going on. No medical professional wants to be seen as “homophobic”.
Good analogy.
That’s dark stuff. Sad.
Evaluted by the same proffessional class that encourages teenage girls to cut off their breasts.
Some lefties will try to spin it anyways. Damn the truth. It is the narrative that counts.
Q: Are any of the victims’ families receiving taxpayer money (federal, state, and/or local) in return for not bringing lawsuits against any government office/s or official/s?
Inquiring minds want to know.
TL;DR Townhall says it was Covid made him do it.

“Townhall says it was Covid made him do it.”
The article said that it was Covid *lockdowns* that have caused a spike in teenage mental health problems.
Susquehanna Valley Central High School did nothing to prevent a mentally-ill student from endangering public safety. A public school system failed to protect the very public that pays their salaries.
"In 2021, the then-17-year-old Gendron talked about committing a shooting at Susquehanna Valley Central High School in Broome County, New York.The threats to the school came in comments to fellow students, The Buffalo News reported on Saturday, citing unnamed government sources.“A school official reported that this very troubled young man had made statements indicating that he wanted to do a shooting, either at a graduation ceremony, or sometime after,” the official said.
This prompted school officials to call New York state troopers, who took Mr Gendron into custody under the state’s mental health law for evaluation...Gendron was in treatment for about a day and a half before being released..."
They didn't even hold Gendron the full 72 hours!
Read the shooter’s manifesto. It’s 180 typed pages, well written, organized and includes charts and figures. Its not insane ranting. Unfortunately even smart people can be murderous psychopaths.
"Gendron has been investigated by law enforcement before.The defense must do what blue-state prosecutors in this country will not do with every one of these.“In June 2021, police in Broome County were called by high school officials who told them Gendron had threatened violence in comments made to fellow students, the News reported...So he had a history."
The defense must put the school system on trial, and demonstrate that marxists have specifically rendered the school systems impotent to deal with not just internal threats but threats to public safety!
- "Did Susquehanna Valley High School administrators report Payton's specific threat to law enforcement?"
- "Did Payton's teachers witness him searching guns or ammunition on school equipment or his tablet or his phone?"
- "Did Susquehanna Valley High School school administrators or school safety/Broome County law enforcement search Payton's backpack or locker?"
- "After Payton was taken into custody, did Broome County law enforcement or Susquehanna Valley High School school safety follow up?"
- "Under New York Education Law § 3214, did Susquehanna Valley High School administrators permanently remove Payton from Susquehanna Valley High School? If not, why not?"
School administrators, principals, teachers, and staff all failed to isolate and remove the public threat. Miserably.
Schools are not there to treat the mentally ill, but they sure as heck can identify them and remove them from society.
If we are going to overturn Roe then the next thing is to overturn the Community Mental Health Act of 1963 and every fatal mistake that has flowed downstream from the CMHA, and go back to using high schools to separate the wheat from the chaff.
And yes, we conservatives can do this at the same time we remove the culture of emasculation from the school systems. This isn't rocket science, FRiends. The system worked for nearly a hundred years until the marxists took over public education in the US.
Why isn’t the State Official that evaluated him identified? Where are all the reporters digging into the reasons this boy was free to kill?
Reckon Benjamin Crump (spit) knows that too.
That’s a name i haven’t heard in a long time LOL
