-Lurid Crime Tales-
Buffalo Killer Wasn't Conservative, Also Despised Fox News, Greg Gutfeld, Ben Shapiro, Rupert Murdoch

[WesternJournal] After a self-identified “white supremacist” allegedly shot up a New York grocery store, many news outlets and left-leaning Twitter users went wild trying to pin the crime on Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Greg Gutfeld and other people on the right. But now it has been revealed that the suspect openly hated all the conservatives the media wants to blame as a motivation for the crime.

On Saturday, a man police have identified as Payton Gendron, 18, of Conklin, New York, allegedly committed the murder of ten people and the wounding of three others inside a Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly black neighborhood of Buffalo, New York.

Witness said the man entered the store wearing military-styled gear and opened fire with a rifle while yelling racial epithets in an act police called “racially motivated violent extremism,” the Associated Press reported.

The shooter also carried a helmet cam on his head and reportedly began streaming the shooting live on the streaming platform Twitch for several minutes before the site shut down the live feed.

Authorities did not speculate on the motive for the crime, but leftists in the media and on Twitter immediately blamed conservative TV personalities.

As a former career military man, I can't quite get through my skull why people who'd be both ineligible and unwilling to get in like dressing up like soldiers and killing people who're pretty much guaranteed to be unarmed.

#10  They assume most Americans won’t read anything. In my experience that is a good assumption. He could not be a Republican because he did not express hatred for Mitch McConnell.

#9  Rolling Stone calls him a main-stream Republican which is contrary to what he wrote in his "Manifesto". Obviously the writer didn't read it. They want it to be true so bad they will lie to make it so.

#8  ^ Many people do. But they manage to keep their opinions from metastasizing into mass murder.
