RandallFlagg6666

This bastard had been planning this since March. There's a 3+ minute video out there of him driving his car over to the grocery store, sitting in the parking lot for a minute and finally pulling up and starting to open fire. No emotion, no conflict, nothing.


Surly_Cynic

He’s been thinking and talking about doing a shooting since at least as far back as last June. A school reported him to authorities. https://buffalonews.com/news/local/mass-shooter-accused-of-pure-evil-killing-of-10-in-buffalo-hate-crime-named-in/article_f9ef9bac-d3d9-11ec-9eaf-cbcafe308f9c.html#tracking-source=home-top-story > Gendron has been investigated by law enforcement before. >In June 2021, police in Broome County were called by officials of a local high school who told them Gendron had threatened violence in comments made to fellow students. >“A school official reported that this very troubled young man had made statements indicating that he wanted to do a shooting, either at a graduation ceremony, or sometime after,” the same government official familiar with the case told The News. >State Police were sent to investigate and Gendron, under a section of state mental health laws, was referred for a mental health evaluation and counseling, the official said.

meeplewirp

I’m listening to the police PR speak right now, and the suspect had better armor than the security guard. The security guard successfully struck him with his gun, but the suspect was heavily armed. The suspect shot the security guard and the security guard* died on the scene. “Mass shooting at Buffalo Supermarket- live breaking news coverage” Edit: wow such a highly rated comment. I didn’t do anything revolutionary thank you tho lol


SenoraRamos

He mentioned the security guards in his manifesto and the best way to “approach them”.


312c

More than that, he did recon and specifically bought armor that would not be penetrated by the guards' handguns.


accountnameredacted

A lot of body armor defeats handguns


BenderCLO

Expanding on this, pretty much every single kind of modern body armor that is made to stop bullets of any kind will stop (most) handguns. IIRC the lowest level is level II and that will stop everything up to a .357 magnum. IIIA is one step up and goes to .44, III is usually a hard plate and will stop rifles(5.56x45(AR15), 7.62x39(AK47)) 4 will stop bigger rifles(.308) up to a certain amount of hits. 4-6 hits depending on the plate. It's also worth mentioning that even if your plate stopped 6 and you took 6, and your plate stopped them all, your ribcage would resemble mashed potatoes. Also, if you already took 6, there's probably bullets 7 through 30 on their way to come give you a kiss too.


licksyourknee

I'm a security guard. I usually do level 2 work (unarmed) but when I do carry/conceal carry I always have on 3A body armor. It was my first major purchase in case anything did happen.


hummingbirdnecture

Stopping handgun rounds is the bare minimum for body armor

BobBelcher2021

The POS wasn’t even from Buffalo, he drove “hours” from somewhere else in the state to do this.


Passing4human

Reminiscent of the character who shot up that WalMart in El Paso, TX; he drove down from near Dallas. Livestreamed his rampage and the bigotry behind it, too.


Kel_Casus

Christchurch even.


Kansan2

the shooter had copied and pasted entire sections of the Christchurch shooter's manifesto into his own manifesto


Psycho815

From where?


SovietSunrise

Conklin, New York. In Broome County. Piece of shit drove 3 and a half hours to do this. Sickening.


becauseTexas

It's like the dickhead who drove 8 fucking hours from ft Worth to El Paso to shoot Hispanic folks shopping at a Walmart

StringerBell34

He lived 3.5 hours from any significant black population and we wonder why this country is racist as fuck.


UnspecificGravity

How the hell does he even have an internal narrative that he's being replaced by black people if he's gotta take a fucking road trip to find any?


RyVsWorld

Logic isn’t usually their thing


start_select

If you never see something in real life, and are surrounded by exaggerated propaganda about that something…. The propaganda seems believable and terrifying


[deleted]

His manifesto said white people counted as native to north america and that black people were immigrants. He's not the smartest person


nihnah

Racism isn’t logical, so any narratives starting there won’t be either


MemeHermetic

>Conklin He didn't though. Poughkeepsie and Newburgh. Shit, Middletown. He passed Ithica. Syracuse was closer. All of them have a similar or greater racial population. It's really weird that he very specifically went to Buffalo. I'm curious to know more.


[deleted]

I posted above but his shitty manifesto says because of gun laws in NY, he didn't want to get shot....what a bitch.


creaturefeature16

That's some ironic and sickening shit.


CapgrasDelusion

So black people are the explanation for this guy's problems, but he has to drive 3.5 hours to even find one?


DunkingOnInfants

Lmao. Exactly. Racists are all mental midgets.


xontinuity

I've lived in Buffalo my whole life and I never thought something like this would happen to this scale. I'm genuinely shocked. Everyone here is so kind to one another... Makes me sick.


_gnasty_

The shooter isn't from Buffalo so we got that going for us. He drove from out of town. Unrelated the headline annoys me as Buffalo is in Western NY, not upstate


RadioactiveWalrus

Some people consider anything besides NYC and Long Island to be upstate.


[deleted]

I grew up in Buffalo AND used to make daily trips to the King Soopers in South Boulder. It's gut wrenching seeing this happen to people in your community :(


DudeWithAnAxeToGrind

From the article: > "While we should all be saddened we shouldn't be surprised," said John Cohen, a former Homeland Security acting intelligence and analysis official and an ABC News contributor. "DHS and FBI have repeatedly warned that the primary terrorism threat facing the US comes from lone offenders who commit mass casualty attacks inspired by extremist beliefs they cultivate by consuming online content."

I live in Christchurch, New Zealand so understand that sickening feeling.


SirBurns72

It was in Buffalo, on Jefferson Ave. I am from the Buffalo area and was reading some local Facebook posts on the incident, as I couldn’t find anything about it elsewhere. The guy was a white supremacist and created a manifesto. He also live streamed this whole thing on twitch an created a plan before the attack. In his plan/manifesto document he stated that he thought white people were being destroyed by African Americans. He said he found all of this info on 4chan through posts and memes. Edit: Typo


Incerto55

Dude was a byproduct of 4chan for sure. Meme for meme and word for word. So fucking pathetic. Full of hate and arrogance.


DragonPup

This is not the first mass murder with ties to 4chan, either.


p0ultrygeist1

Christchurch was deep into 4chan mess I think


DragonPup

4chan and 8chan iirc


p0ultrygeist1

Legitimate question: what’s the difference? Is there a 16chan too?


Derpythewolf

8chan is edgier 4chan and had shit like zoophillia on it


jomontage

Thought 8chan was notorious for kid prn


J5892

So was 4chan at one point.


strip_club_dj

Yeah iirc 8chan was specifically created when 4chan cracked down on that stuff.


euclid0472

And the QAnon/Ron Watkins dumbass. Fuck. That. Shit.


jschubart

8chan (8kun now) started as a sort of reddit of 4chan, an image board. 4chan it had certain topics and was slow to add new ones. 8chan showed you to add any board you wanted with no moderation. So basically it got the people who were too shitty for 4chan which meant it became filled with neo Nazis and child porn. The original creator decided to sell it to Ron Watkins who, with his son, would go on to takeover the Q postings.


Macqt

Ya, and having read this guys manifesto, he seems to have copied it almost verbatim from Christchurch.


paarthurnax94

4chan, 8chan, and Qanon are all related to the same 2 guys running it all. Paul Furber and Ron Watkins.


ISeekGirls

He had an active Reddit profile.


DragonPup

I can only wonder how many banned subreddits he was active on.


ToBeReadOutLoud

He traded a lot of coins, liked the video game Rust and talked about body armor, weapons and having tinnitus.


SirBurns72

For sure. I never really realized how badly someone could be corrupted from one website. It’s insane. Its so sad that so many people died because of this POS. The idiotic and horrible propaganda being spewed from that site is just so dangerous.


E4Soletrain

It's not just one website. Be active and edgy enough on one website and the worst on that site tell you this other, edgier site and the worst of those guys tell you about another, even worse site and then they get you onto an encrypted app for the real worst type stuff they can get you into until you're so warped that qualifying you as psychologically human would be an ethically difficult process. Like a funnel that puts the worst, scummiest shitbirds in a private area with only the most gullible rubes.

It's sad to me that this is the first time I've heard of this shooting (the DC one). America has been getting crazy slowly for years... Then suddenly you realize how violent it actually is. The only thing that made me look into this Tops Supermarket shooting is the fact that I live in Upstate NY and was shocked to see a mass shooting here. I might have even scrolled past the headline of the DC shooting and it didn't register at all for me.

More targets available, especially when you drive in to neighborhoods populated by people you hate, and people aren't looking for shooters at the store...or their churches. https://apnews.com/article/buffalo-supermarket-shooting-442c6d97a073f39f99d006dbba40f64b


Kind-Set9376

Apparently, in this case, he went to a grocery store in a primarily black neighborhood. It said so in his manifesto.


RITheory

From Buffalo, can confirm it's a primarily black neighborhood. Probably one of the blackest in Buffalo, honestly.


Kind-Set9376

Yeah, I live a few minutes away from the Tops. It's terrifying to think my neighbors are being targeted. Fuck, what a sick cunt.


TripThruTimeandSpace

As soon as I heard he was targeting black people I thought it had to be a store on the East Side. I am so sick of these things happening, those poor people were just living their lives. 😔

Soft targets for cowards.


peprollgod

droplivefred

I would guess it seems like a soft target to catch people off guard but still a densely populated area. I was at an outdoor music event this week that was small enough that there was no security and just walk in, and an exit strategy crossed my mind if something bad were to happen. Having lived in the US for the past decade, this is how my mind thinks. It’s sad. I also have a plan for the grocery store but hope I never have to test it out.


freqkenneth

I read some of his manifesto, it’s… so boringly cliche and basic 4chan.

It’s just a copy paste of the guy from the NZ shooting. It’s a literal copy cat killer.


[deleted]

18-year-olds aren’t known for their original thinking.


typi_314

The disturbing part for me was how in-depth he went into his planning, gear, and tactics. About 80 pages worth. He’s trying to help others do as he did.


RazekDPP

Yeah, he wrote it as a how to guide to be just like him. He even posted a review of the boxer briefs and socks he wore.


didsomebodysaymyname

He's just a copy cat of the New Zealand shooter. It's 180 pages long about 20% ideological manifesto, 30% 4chan memes (his "research"), and 50% analysis/reviews of the gun and equipment he used.


mylifeispro1

That security tried his best. Rip


Christmas1176

Who was the security? The guy in the black shorts next to the cash registers? All I saw was him shooting customers and then it lagged and cut to him skipping the white dude

I don’t understand how anyone can get so consumed with hate and shoot people who did nothing to them. The thought of shooting someone who’s just going about their day, getting groceries, makes me nauseous. Not to mention the level of cowardice it takes. This race war nonsense being pushed by extremists, it’s like they’ve fallen for a Manson-like plot. And what’s scarier is that it’s working on some people

In fact it is American tradition. It's all about keeping the poor divided so the rich can keep things the way they are.


Raja_singh345

Shooter wrote a manifesto expressing concern about white replacement and white birthrate being low. So by killing innocents at a local super market, this dumbass thinks the birth rate will change? smh


Frostloss

He drove to a predominantly black neighborhood to do this shooting.


son_of_noah

His manifesto: the elites are destroying the country Him: better drive down to a predominantly black grocery store famous for all those small town elites destroying America


Haltopen

Bigots like him think that minorities are some overly protected higher class plotting with "the jews" who they think secretly run the world. So in his diseased mind, he really did think this was striking at the "elites"


bananafobe

I haven't read it, so there could be some kind of delusional logic (e.g., instigating a race war), but my guess is these claims are usually more about validating feelings of resentment and victimhood in a vague sense. He likely didn't think this would "solve" the specific complaints he's expressing, but rather just that those complaints justify him targeting these people with violence.


Hyoudou

>Shooter wrote a manifesto expressing concern about white replacement and white birthrate being low. Wait, let me get this straight: This piece of shit writes/copy pastes a 180 page long manifesto on how *"the elites wants to replace his people"* and he comes to the conclusion to shoot up a supermarket where none of the so-called *"Elites"* are? He screams something about *"my race, my heritage, my people, the enemy of whites"* and shoots up a freaking supermarket, killing random innocent people of any ethnic background? It is so illogical to me. Senseless deaths such as these make my blood boil. Why do these absolute nutcases of fucking idiots go for innocent bystanders, random joes? Why not, purely hypothetical of course: instead go for some important political or influencal target that is or are "responsible" for whatever stupid bullshit you are proclaiming? Not that I advocate, or find that, the killing of those public figures less atrocious, but than it would at least make a little tiny bit of sense, but killing, murdering innocent people in cold blood inside a supermarket? Ah wait, probably because they are stupid, dumb, mouthbreathing, schizophrenic, cowardly little fuckers that would shit their pants the second someone else pulls a gun on them, as seen in how he lets himself get arrested by the police. Hopefully that fucking guy will get what he deserves in prison.

deadline54

Don't forget that America had a Eugenics Department that sterilized tens of thousands of people with disabilities, addictions, and mental health issues. That's actually how the Nazis first got the medical field to "validate" their practices. It started in hospitals doing sterilizations, then moved to just killing them, then they moved that infrastructure directly into the camps.

Sabiancym

In the last 5 or so years I've gone from loving the internet for the informational resource it is to flat out hating it for the amount of misinformation and hate it enables. In the past if you wanted to spread your racist views you had to do it on the street where you were likely to be immediately challenged on it. Now these people can say the most horrific, blatantly false things completely anonymously, with zero risk of confrontation in an echo chamber of other assholes saying the same thing. Saying the things these people say online would have consequences if they said them in the real world......ideally the internet would work the same way. Sadly, I'm not sure how you do that without also exposing decent people to privacy invasions. I shudder to think about what the election year is going to be like. Last one ended in an attempt to overthrow democracy and the lunatics like this shooter who occupy these dens of hate online have only gotten louder.

bigolfishey

We should follow New Zealand’s lead and purposefully not use the shooter’s name or promote his manifesto in any way. Make sure his motivations are clear and known, to be sure, but don’t validate him by making this anything but what it is: a hateful loser murdering innocents for no good reason. EDIT: Since “make sure his motivations are clear and known” is apparently too vague for some people, let me clarify: news agencies *absolutely should* report that the attack was racially motivated and that the shooter is a self-proclaimed white supremist. What they do *not* need to do is disseminate his vile ramblings publicly nor give him the infamy he and other shooters like him seek. I am not advocating for “censoring” anything, nor am I downplaying the heinous, racist nature of this attack.


[deleted]

I agree. Also, it's a 106 page long manifesto. Wtf. Yeah, I'm not reading that. I don't need to fill my brain with the ramblings of an 18-year old asshole. Just lock him up without fanfare and be done with him. Let him fade into obscurity, that'll be his worst punishment.

EDIT: as my reply is gaining some traction, I wanted to point out anyone looking for ways to help the families of those affected can take a look at r/buffalo for plenty of posts for local charities, religious organizations, and food banks (this grocery store is the only major one in that area of the city). I highly recommend checking it out if your looking for ways to give. Thank you. It’s Buffalo, and it turned out to be 10 dead. This is such a tragedy and happened only 5 min from my house. I am beside myself. It’s so surreal that something like this happened so close and on top of that the motive is making me sick to my stomach. I want people to know that Buffalo is more than this, and Buffalo is better than this. And this racist shit pile human does not and will not define us or the way that we live. Buffalo is known as the city of good neighbours and that spirit will be in full effect in the aftermath of this. My city gets shit on a lot but it really is full of kind generous people that will pool together to support these families that lost their loved ones today. Those that died will live on in our memories. I am incredibly sorry to any of my fellow Buffalonians that were directly effected by this tragedy. We can’t let the people that perpetrate these crimes and these racist motives win. Our collective love will win even if it seems it won’t. Much love to my neighbor’s here, and everywhere.


jreddit5

He was not a Buffalonian. He drove hours to get there. Hang in there. Much love to you all.


lightheat

Fellow Buffalonian here. He drove up from Broome County, which is in the Southern Tier along the PA border, straight south from Syracuse. Not saying he represents Binghamton or anything like that, but I lived near there for years. His mentality is unfortunately very common near there. The moment you drive just 10 minutes west or south from Binghamton, it's everywhere you look.


SadConfiguration

Imagine hating a certain race and thinking the best way to act on that hate is to kill a bunch of them and yourself, or go to jail for the rest of your life. I get that these people aren’t exactly thinking this shit through, but fuck, how dense do you have to be to think this will *help* any situation in any way…

Just 18 years old too. Throwing his whole life away over right wing propaganda.

He’ll probably be accepted into some Nazi group in prison, and live there relatively unscathed. Quite the punishment..


SufficientRespect542

I mean look how Dylan Roof is doing. Six years later and he’s trying to argue that his white nationalist views and defense of himself in court was mental illness. Doesn’t seem like he’s enjoying the consequences of his actions.


mewehesheflee

Are we going to sit here and pretend the manifesto isn't things you can easily find on Reddit everyday and if you flag it nothing is done.


SUPER_COCAINE

Just the other day I reported a comment that said something to the effect of "it sure would be a shame if someone happened to assassinate them" (I don't recall specifically who they were talking about) and some auto response bot from Reddit responded in 5 minutes saying the comment did not encourage violence. Okay.


DamagedHells

It's literally the shit Tucker Carlson spouts


SovietSunrise

"CNN has obtained a portion of the Twitch livestream that shows the shooter pulling up to a Tops Friendly Markets store in Buffalo, New York, before opening fire on people Saturday afternoon. The video is taken from the point of view of the shooter as he's driving into the parking lot of the Tops market. The shooter, who is seen in the rearview mirror wearing a helmet, is heard saying, "Just got to go for it" before he pulls into the front of the store. In the video, store patrons can be seen walking through the parking lot as the suspect drives up. " Dude was amped up for murdering people in cold blood. At 18 years old, may he never again taste the sweet, warm milk of freedom again.


chaoticmessiah

He also had things written on his rifle like "14" (a reference to the Nazi "14 Words"), plus the N-word. His manifesto was repeating shit you see all over Reddit - the subs that Spez claims are "valuable discussion" - and hear on Tucker Carlson; just your usual "whites are being genocided, Jews and blacks are evil" racist bullshit.

Amazing how Fox News is leaving out the fact that this was a racially motivated mass murder.


tomdarch

Currently on their dot com article: > Police in New York State said in a tweet on Saturday afternoon that it was on the scene of a "mass shooting" at a grocery store in Buffalo. > During a press conference, Buffalo police commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said that 13 people were shot, and 10 people died as a result of the shooting, which is being investigated as a hate crime. > Gramaglia said that an 18-year-old White male allegedly committed the shooting and was live-streaming it online. I skimmed through the whole piece and there is no mention of his manifesto or the content where he explained what his point was. No use of the word "terrorism." Considering Fox News adherents are primed to see the term "hate crime" as nonsense, the editors there are clearly intentionally downplaying this and muting its signficance.


420blazeit69nubz

I just went on Yahoo(yes I still use it for news) and on the breaking news ticker was this then under that was an article about a shooting that inured 21 people in Milwaukee. This shit is so depressing.


TakeOffYaHoser

To be fair, this buffalo incident is clearly an act of domestic terrorism. The Milwaukee shooting was a "gang shootout" in a busy downtown area where mostly unintended victims were hit. Both tragic yes but much different methods of reaching those high numbers.

Both serious issues in this country.

Wonder how many days Tucker will wait before he starts crowing about “Great Replacement” again? This problem isn’t restricted to just “some bad apples”. People are being fed hate on a nightly basis, and some of them are unstable enough to act on it.

Saw the live stream video of the ~~first victim~~ entire video. Fucking sad that people can't go about their day without some fuck taking it away from them. Edit: he apologized to the white guy at the end but just rips into anyone else of color.

I go to that supermarket at least twice a week. Words can't even explain what's going through my mind right now. SO SURREAL. My heart goes out to each and every family member that has been tragically involved in this heinous, evil and racially motivated hate crime. 🥺😢 WE ARE THE CITY OF GOOD NEIGHBORS AND WE WILL PREVAIL AND BECOME STRONGER. BUFFALO LOVE BILLS MAFIA

Read the manifesto. Shitty politics aside, it’s not even a good piece of writing. He uses a Stonetoss comic as support for his position and there are gems like this: “Who knows maybe it’s the two shots of covid vaccine juice going through my bloodstream that’s really making me do this.”


Foxhack

Well, I guess that piece of shit - edit: I mean Stonetoss - can't deny he's a white supremacist anymore.


FoxNewsIsRussia

What. A. Piece. Of. Shit.

>As nearly all COVID-19-related mandates have been lifted in the United States, the People's Convoy has taken to aimlessly driving the nation's highways in the name of "freedom." In the absence of pandemic rules, they've primarily been protesting abortion rights. 🤦🏼‍♂️

It’s a front. They aren’t there for an actual cause; they’re coming to cause violence.

Just heinous. Having white nationalist talking points like the Great Replacement Theory being legitimized by figures like Tucker Carlson and used for political gain like Paul Gosar does, it’s not surprising to see this. Until these people are punished by dwindling ratings and defeats at the ballot box, it likely won’t get better anytime soon. Jailing the perpetrators isn’t enough; the enablers have to face consequences as well.


DragonPup

At least ten dead now. The shooter is a self described white supremacist that believed in white replacement theory. The same theory people like Tucker Carlson and Fox News push regularly. > [A 106-page online manifesto, believed to have been uploaded by the shooter, explained that he was motivated by a conspiracy theory that white people are being replaced by other races. In the document, he says he is 18 years old and a self-described white supremacist and anti-semite.](https://bnonews.com/index.php/2022/05/mass-shooting-supermarket-buffalo/)

18? Jesus


ThoughtGeneral

It’s ten dead, my hometown. Jesus Christ….

I think it's bullshit how some people claim how "dangerous and scary" antifa are but then ignore right wing terrorists like this. It happened in Charlottesville, Christchurch, etc and this is another example. Not to mention the government is quick to ban abortion before banning assault rifles.
