This is very sad for me. At least 10 people have been killed in a mass shooting in Buffalo at Tops Friendly Markets…

10 dead in Buffalo supermarket attack police call hate crime

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A white 18-year-old wearing military gear and livestreaming with a helmet camera opened fire with a rifle at a supermarket in Buffalo, killing 10 people and wounding three others Saturday in what authorities described as “racially motivated violent extremism.”

Even worse, the Tops is in a predominantly black neighborhood and the white shooter turns out to have a manifesto. The manifesto discusses “great replacement theory” which is talked about all the time by Tucker Carlson.

Is there a source on that manifesto? It's not in the article you linked.

Although I wouldn't find it hard to believe if true, I want to make sure this information is accurate.

Gunman kills 10 at New York store while livestreaming on Twitch

A man has opened fire at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York while live-streaming on Twitch, killing at least 10 people and injuring several others, local officials and witnesses say. He also posted an online manifesto in which he described himself as a white supremacist. The incident happened at...

The sad thing is that the only right-wing response to this will be that it was actually an Antifa false-flag designed to make white people look bad. And no, that isn't a joke. I genuinely expect that response. There will be no accountability for the way that their "great replacement theory" bullshit is actually leading to murder.

Also, for the NRA dirtbags that will say “we need good guys with guns…” There was an armed security guard that fired shots but the racist terrorist was wearing body armor.

And sadly, the security guard was killed. Every sheriff and police chief I've heard talk on the subject of "good guys with guns" is that under high pressure and extremely tense situations with adrenalin pumping they often can't tell the difference between a good guy with a gun and a bad guy with a gun.

But hey, let's make sure after our "thoughts & prayers" we blame it on mental heath. Again...

Let's try something different and blame it on fucking evil, and evil has easy access to the means to carry out their shit.

LOCKPORT, New York—After serving as a Buffalo police officer for 30 years, Aaron Salter Jr. spent the last four working as a security guard at the Tops Friendly Markets store on the east side of the city.

That’s where he was Saturday afternoon when a gunman stalked in with a military-style assault rifle in his hands and hate in his heart and opened fire.

Authorities said Salter acted like the cop he was: He pulled out his weapon and tried to take down the gunman, whom police have identified as 18-year-old Payton Gendron.

But Gendron was wearing body armor and Salter’s bullets couldn’t pierce it. Instead, police say the assailant returned fire and killed Salter—whose family was mourning a man city officials said was an undeniable “hero” on a horrific day.

I think what also annoys me is that the shooter is do a trial by a 'jury of his peers'.

The shooter specifically choose an area that is heavily Black, I'm thinking he better be tried there as well.

Then locked up and left to show how "superior" he is without guns.

The rule of thumb is you are tried in the jurisdiction where you committed the crime, so long as you can get a fair trial there. Generally speaking, it is pretty rare that venue is moved. It’s hard to show that you can’t get a fair trial. That said, this sort of case, where there is a ton of press, is the sort of case where it happens more often. Still a small percentage of the time, though.

Yes, we know that.

We also know full well one of the first things a lawyer will do for any advantage is request a change of venue. If there's even the slightest or imagined belief it may help the prosecution. Because they have to do anything they can for their client.

As I pointed out though with the shooter's stated motivations, one could hope ( for emotional reasons ) the shooter gets a jury of those he considered inferior & see how that superiority works out for him.
