Grieving.
Buffalo is a wonderful community and trying to do better everyday.
I’m speechless, not knowing where to throw blame that could motivate and allow an 18-yr old to don tactical gear and travel hours on the highway to stream such horror and have such heavy weaponry and harbor such hate.

The shooter should be tortured braveheart style. Slow death. Livestream that so maybe the next racist pos thinks twice before doing something like this.

Simple question with a very complicated answer. Why?
Why are people racist to the point of feeling the need to kill INNOCENT Black (and other races/nationalities/religions that are other than White Christian) people?

On another note, this is ONE example of why racism comes to a boil for many people.
Have to be 100% honest, I don't feel it excuses racism but I do understand why it exacerbates it.

apparently the Buffalo shooter was big on this "great replacement theory," which apparently has been peddled by Tucker Carlson and such.

and of course, the dood allegedly left a manifesto.

That big round symbol on the top of the first page...where have we seen that before?

Tucker Carlson should get the Alex Jones treatment. NY AG should charge him with inciting violence. Doesn’t matter if she’s ultimately successful. At least get that POS on trial and start the National conversation and reckoning.

Btw when white guys shoot multiple people they are arrested “peacefully”. Black guys jogging, shot by police. White vigilante becomes hero.

“If you aren’t outraged you aren’t paying attention”

Google the words in quotes in ousie’s post. I’m sure that Tucker didn’t cause the overtly racist behavior but he certainly gave an outlet and “permission” for these sentiments to manifest themselves and for the whackos to act on them.

New York supermarket, California church, Texas flea market, etc., etc., etc...
Innocent people just trying to live their lives and enjoy their day/s and they end up dead because we have a gun and crazy people problem in the USA - and nothing is being done about it so it isn't going to change. GBA!

Just seems like a classless thing to say in a snarky way every single time this happens. Some people say that in a genuine way and truly mean it. Just because you're not religious doesn't mean you need to mock them for it (in my opinion). People died. I think it's tatseless to use their deaths for snarky politcal gotcha laughs on a messageboard.

More fishing.

Yes, I said that to you right after you did it in another thread. Suddenly you didn't like it as much as a response or find it funny. Strange how that works.

not strange at all

nor is it surprising that you can’t see the difference

but, as per the norm, blame everyone else for you being an idiot

and i know definitions are difficult for you, but there’s no way i’m trolling or fishing - by definition, such actions are looking for a response. i don’t want a response. i’ve made it very clear i’d prefer you go away and not post at all

so, no…not trolling, nor fishing
