A horrific shooting in a Buffalo grocery store by a racist white man with a manifesto left ten dead and three wounded. It was in a black neighborhood and most of the victims were black.
Police arrested 18-year-old Peyton Gendron at the scene after Buffalo police charged into the store and confronted the gunman in the vestibule.
Police said 11 of those shot were black, with the other two white, and suggested Gendron had walked through the supermarket looking for specific people to target, although didn’t say whether this was based on the color of their skin, according to Daily Mail.
FEDS INVESTIGATE BEFORE POLICE
Merrick Garland is investigating it as a hate crime. Will he use it against all white people with the midterms coming up? There have been three black-on-white killers in the interim, but the media let them disappear quickly from the front pages. Garland did not investigate them, Waukesha was the most horrific.
The Left is railing against white people, specifically Fox News, Tucker, and all people on the right.
For one, Joe Lockhart already blamed Tucker and Fox. He tweeted: More blood on the hands of @tuckercarlson and @foxnews this killer used their racist talking points to justify killing 10 people. Carlson won’t stop because as he explained to the NYTimes, it’s good for ratings….As Carlson will be at judgment day.”
It’s utter nonsense to think that an hour-long TV show drove this maniac. Arthur Schwartz immediately responded to him.

The deranged Buffalo shooter attacked Fox News in his manifesto.
The shooter explicitly attacks Fox News in his deranged manifesto, you despicable liar. https://t.co/FljK1cXJxs

Disgusting and insane that Democrat operatives are already exploiting the murder of 10 by blaming Tucker Carlson and Fox News.
The manifesto cites the internet (specific websites) as his inspiration (not TV)—and has an antisemitic meme attacking Fox News.https://t.co/kboxiRSm7P https://t.co/yUxhQCjTpI pic.twitter.com/aqt9jsUlxF

There are others with the same thoughts.
Crazy how people don’t understand how his rants about “heritage Americans” is a racism dog whistle for “I’m scared of demographic change”.

From the Christchurch shooting in New Zealand to El Paso & Tree of Life – white supremacist killers inspired by the likes of Carlson have murdered in service of their ideology.https://t.co/YwYhaR479s

And More:
The families of the victims of today’s mass shooting in Buffalo at the hands of a white supremacist who espoused @TuckerCarlson’s “white replacement theory” should immediately file a class action lawsuit against Tucker and FOX News for inspiring the mass shooter’s heinous act.

BREAKING: FBI announces that they’re investigating today’s mass shooting in Buffalo as “racially motivated violent extremism.” The shooter left a manifesto citing Tucker Carlson’s “white replacement theory” as his motive. RT IF YOU THINK THAT @TuckerCarlson MUST BE INVESTIGATED!

This fool blames all prominent right-wing figures he can in a tweet:
though they aren’t likely to be held criminally responsible, I hold morally responsible for the shooting in Buffalo folks like Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Trump, GOP leaders like Elise Stefanik, Cruz, Hawley, etc.
