That’s like saying, we should ignore what happened on 9/11 bc look how many people died in car accidents in 2001. “A crash is a crash, we should focus on the crashes that happen everyday and we should minimize the big crash of the day!”
The last epidemic we were in, many said it’s only such a small portion of our population we shouldn’t change the way we live our lives or do anything about it. We should be able to make our own decisions.
The Buffalo killings were the result of a White Supremacist doing what they do, kill minorities. There is no allegation of racial hate but instead the reality of what has been apparent for years, there is a segment of this country that supports White Supremacists.
It's sickening. Brings a tear to my eyes literally. Those poor people and especially the 2 elderly woman. Just sickening that people can carry that level of hate inside them. And I agree with Ellu 100% on this.
Mr. Gendron wrote that he was inspired by the perpetrators of other white supremacist acts of violence, naming Dylann Roof, who killed nine Black parishioners in South Carolina in 2015, among other gunmen. His plan for the shooting in Buffalo resembled the 2019 massacre at a Walmart in El Paso, Tex., in which more than 20 people died and the gunman had also posted a four-page screed filled with white supremacist views.
He said that he felt a particular connection to Brenton Harrison Tarrant — calling him the person “who had radicalized him the most.” Mr. Tarrant was sentenced to life without parole for killing 51 Muslims during Friday prayer at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. Mr. Gendron said that he had watched Mr. Tarrant’s livestream of the attack and read his writings.
Those names are on the gun.
But the first mention of the shooting is to place it aside with Orange county and more importantly juxtapose it with the tired ass meme of Chicago murders.
so lets not talk about this but lets deflect to that, as if a city with the 28th highest murder rate needs to supercede this discussion. Notwithstanding that Buffalo has a hire per capita murder rate, this just isn't the time for the whataboutism is it?
Shouldn't we be asking why he wrote the names of Roof Tarrant and other murderers who believed in the replacement theory politics as his heros?
****ing Chicago man? That's what you got from this?
Ruth Whitfield, 86
Ruth Whitfield stopped by the Tops supermarket to grab something to eat after visiting her husband at a nursing home. Her son, former Buffalo Fire Commissioner Garnell Whitfield Jr., confirmed his mother’s untimely death on Saturday. Whitfield was her husband’s caretaker and, as of Sunday, he had no idea that his wife had been gunned down right after paying him a visit. She made it a point to visit her 88-year-old husband—who has been in the nursing home for the past eight years—every day without fail. Her son said: “She dedicated her entire life to her family, but specifically the last eight years to him.”
14 Words is a reference to the popular white supremacist slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."
Pearl Young, 77
Pearl Young, a mother and grandmother, is fondly remembered by her loved ones as a devoted Christian and selfless member of her community who opened up a food pantry. The substitute teacher, who originally hailed from Alabama, ran the pantry near Central Park for more than 20 years.
Some things shouldn't be trivialized. I've been coming around this board just to see what was really changing. When someone as good as you @central17 feels like a post like that was salient, this board's toxicity has reached its limits.
Hopefully @gferman won't delete this thread. I'm not coming back to this cesspool either way, good men on the rest of this site act a little differently in this forum.
It should not nor never be trivialized. It's a sad day when something like this happens.

Yeah this is the MSLSD take because they are getting killed by Fox
I like how you highlighted the victims in this post as that's where the focus should be.

Lets be honest, you don't give a damn about the folks being murdered in big cities. You only bring this up to deflect from the issue of too many guns in the hands of criminals like the Buffalo assassin and others. If you cared you would support gun legislation that would help stop the flow of illegal guns into those areas.
central the left-wing media will never cover the enormous crime wave sweeping the country, which is all happening in Democrat led cities because it doesn't fit their narrative. And Biden will never visit one of these cities like Chicago and denounce these types of crimes for the same reason.
Animal Farm, George Orwell - Some animals are more equal than others.
Dude stop your BS. It is YOUR PARTY that MINIMIZES the word RACIST!
A sick, demented, racist piece of shit. ONE DUDE. Yes there are others and they come in every color.
They do come in all colors but there are more White Supremacists killing people of color. Remember El Paso? There the killer killed Mexican immigrants.
More deflection from who the Republican party is. A party filled with anti immigrants, anti women's choice, anti gun control, anti democracy for not wanting to help Ukraine, anti free elections, anti green technology, anti vaccines but pro racism. That's what Fox News tells their audience 24 X 7.
Correct, Biden's writers will craft the perfect speech to foster an air of divisiveness. That's exactly what they want, along with high gas prices, etc..
Just look at the 62 million babies that have been aborted (i.e. killed) since Roe became the law of the land in 1973. These deaths have absolutely NO VALUE to the Dems. None whatsoever.
We are PRO LEGAL IMMIGRATION not millions pouring across our border filled with criminals and drugs and sex trafficking and baby smuggling and gangs wreaking havoc on our citizens.
Stop parroting right wing nonsense. You have been brainwashed with right wing dogma to the point you can't reason. Take a break from Fox News.
Do you hear yourself? You support the most divisive person ever to occupy the WH.
Your right! Be careful, you'll be called a racist by some on this board for bringing out the facts.
Here are the facts. White man who espouses racist rhetoric shots 13 and 10 Black souls die. White Supremacist killed 23 Mexican (Americans) and wounds 23 others in El Paso mass shooting. Nine Blacks killed in Charleston church by White Supremacist. 11 killed at the Tree of Life synagogue because they were Jewish. The killer wounded 4 police officers and 2 others. I got more if you're too lazy to do research.
Very poor comparison. Extremely poor. You’re saying his example is like 9/11 vs car crashes? Holy sh t. So the Holocaust is like drug overdose? Both killed a lot of people so they must be looked at the same way. Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? Yea. That’s your comparison.
Agree 99.5% with everything you stated. The only part I can't ride with you on is the blanketed statement that the Republican party is a racist group......and here's why.
Lol. Sigh. I was highlighting how stupid the comparisons are from one crime to another crime. How bc one tragedy happens here we should ignore it or not do anything about it bc it happening somewhere else. No the Holocaust is not like a drug overdose. Idk how you make that comparison.
The Buffalo massacre is disgusting, the killer should get the death penalty. Just pure evil. My point is that while there are the high profile mass shootings with whatever kind of horrible motives; every week people are killing people. Within 24 hours of Buffalo, Biden is calling for gun control, his political agenda. Chicago has some of the strongest gun control laws in the country. I wish some of the innocent people in Buffalo had been armed and knowledgeable to shoot the animal. And I was criticized for refering to the murderer as an animal?
Did I vote for him twice, yes. But it ends there. I don't want him to run in 2024 and I don't care who he puts his support behind in the primaries right now. There's millions of people who share that position as well, including a large percentage of African-Americans.
You ask why the carnage in Chicago and other Democrat let cities is not treated as a crisis. The answer is that the vast majority of killers and the vast majority of victims are Black. And that tells you that the Dems don't give a damn about Black lives. And neither does Black Lives Matter. That's a fact. Instead they talk about defunding the police. And in many Democrat led cities they HAVE defunded the police. And of course that just leads to more crime and murders.
