Three people killed in 'racially motivated' shooting in Jacksonville
2023-08-27
Link fixed.
[NBC] A shooting at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida left four people dead, including the shooter, on Saturday, with authorities saying they believe the attack was racially motivated, local media reported.

Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters stated during a press conference that the suspect was wearing a tactical vest and armed with an "AR style" rifle and a handgun and killed three people before turning the gun on himself. All three victims of the shooting were black, according to the sheriff.

The suspected shooter, a white male, had authored several manifestos to his parents, the media, and federal agents. The shooter's rifle was reportedly covered in swastikas and other extremist symbols.

#7  Where's the Trans shooter's Manifesto? Still locked away, hidden?

#6  It fits the dem logic: Because someone went nuts with a gun, anyone who gets hold of a gun will become a nut.

#5  The link goes to a stub, as I believe it is called. the rest of the article includes the following useful information:

The shooter was believed to live in nearby Clay County with his parents, Waters said, and has had previous interactions with law enforcement.

In 2016, he was involved in a call about a domestic disturbance, which resulted in no arrests. In 2017, he was subject to the Baker Act, which provides "emergency services and temporary detention for up to 72 hours for mental health examination" if, among other criteria, there's reason to believe a person is mentally ill and because of mental illness "has refused voluntary examination."

So his racism may well just be what his mental illness chose to latch on to, and not a thing he would continue to believe were he properly medicated. Along with not feeling the need to go out and murder a bunch of strangers.

#3  Obviously this was racially motivated. Let's take a similar look at Black on White and Black on Asian attacks?

#2  Hey, I hate Nazis. Real ones, fake ones... can't stand 'em. However... wake me when they're doing this several times a day.

Three fingers, one circle. Okay?
No! A token of hate! Mass dismay.
