This shooting demonstrates the recklessness of Leftists in tarring virtually everyone they hate as “white supremacists.” There are real white supremacists out there, and all their wolf-crying only obscures that. This shooting will now be used to try to discredit Tucker Carlson and others who have warned about the agenda of mass migration into the West, just as Breivik was used to discredit critics of jihad violence. The Left finds some mass shooters extremely useful, so useful that they could have been sent from central casting.
“The Buffalo supermarket shooting suspect posted an apparent manifesto repeatedly citing ‘Great Replacement’ theory,” by Ben Collins, NBC News, May 14, 2022:
A manifesto claiming to be written by the suspect in a mass shooting at a Buffalo supermarket that killed 10 laid out specific plans to attack Black people and repeatedly cited the “Great Replacement” Theory, the false idea that a cabal is attempting to replace white Americans with non-white people through immigration, interracial marriage and eventually violence.
The manifesto, which claims to be written by 18-year-old Payton Gendron, included a shared birth date and biographical details with the suspect in custody. The PDF was originally posted to Google Docs at 8:55 p.m. Thursday, two days before the shooting, according to file data accessed by NBC News….
The manifesto includes dozens of pages antisemitic and racist memes, repeatedly citing the racist “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory frequently pushed by white supremacists, which falsely alleges white people are being “replaced” in America as part of an elaborate Jewish conspiracy theory. Other memes use tropes and discredited data to denigrate the intelligence of non-white people.
In the manifesto, Gendron claims that he was radicalized on 4chan while he was “bored” at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020.
The document also claims “critical race theory,” a recent right-wing talking point that has come to generally encompass teaching about race in school, is part of a Jewish plot, and a reason to justify mass killings of Jews….
“Great Replacement” theory has recently received support from traditional power centers of the American right. According to an AP-NORC poll released this week, 1 in 3 U.S. adults believe there is an ongoing effort “to replace U.S.-born Americans with immigrants for electoral gains.”
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson has repeatedly pushed “replacement” rhetoric on his show. “I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term ‘replacement,’ if you suggest for the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World,” Carlson said in April of 2021.…

People are being mislead by those in power and using the power of the pen to keep everyone off balance.
“crt” is not a “right-wing” thing at all. so many lies…and this by nbc…trying to place the blame for the shootings on Tucker Carlson. They would like nothing better than to shut him up.
the idiot mayor of chicago calls for “arms” and no one says a word; but Carlson tells the Truth about what the ‘left’ is doing and the pols and reporters come out in full force to blame him for the violence.

Buffalo mass murderer’s apparent ‘manifesto’ justifies mass killings of blacks and Jews
…………….
Yes–this is a *real* violent white supremacist–not people like Tucker Carlson. And I don’t believe that Carlson is on 4chan…
OLD GUY says
Islam’s manifesto is to kill infidels and they justify those killings as a religious act blessed by Allah, where is the outrage of the media and government officials about that. Oh wait thats right its not White’s involved with those murders. Murdering anyone is wrong and we should punish those who commit these killings harshly and quickly, no matter what color their skin is.
Shema says
Agree 100%

Hi, S. H. Citation, please. Who does Mayor Lori Lightfoot say should have arms?
somehistory says
The “idiot” part is mine, because she is. If I recall correctly, FOX had the story.
this is a related story”
“To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community – the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms,” the Democrat mayor who identifies as a lesbian, tweeted late Monday, eliciting sharp criticism. ”

I am *no* fan of Lightfoot, who truly is an idiot, but saying something is a “call to arms” is most often meant figuratively, not literally.
somehistory says
She has been called out by some who see her as the radical that she is.
and how is what Tucker Carlson says worse than that? He has not said anyone should do anything anywhere near violent.
Mr. Trump said “fight” and it was taken literally, but lightfoot says this and only those who see the mobs already going to the houses of the Justices, and the threats made against churches and counseling clinics; she should not be excused just because it is sometimes taken figuratively.
James Lincoln says
True enough, gravenimage.
But there is a double standard regarding this, depending upon one’s political affiliations.
gravenimage says
Somehistory, I never said that Carlson said anything bad, nor President Trump. Neither have ever called for violence that I have heard.
James, I definitely agree that there is a double standard. We see this all the time.
somehistory says
Another ‘violent” rhetoric for the mobs who have been harassing the Justices. This witch will deny responsibility if someone is injured or killed.

The great replacement is not about African Americans who have lived here for centuries. This guy is either a pawn, crazy, or terribly misinformed. Sad to see such horror in my hometown.
libertyORdeath says
Maybe the FBI handler told him to “tear up Buffalo”
Wouldn’t be the first time.
This guy was already on the FBI radar after he claimed he was gonna shoot up his high school, but he supposedly bought all his guns legally? A 180 page “white supremacist manifesto” is also kinda strange, especially when the FBI is dying to find those “white supremacist terrorists” they keep telling us about. How convenient. Sad that we have to be so skeptical of tragedy these days, but as I said at the top, this wouldnt be the first time we were lied to about a terrorist attack.
PMK says
It’s wrong to reflexively describe a white shooter as a ‘white supremacist’.
According to his own manifesto, when he was twelve years old, he was deep into Communist ideology. Since then he moved to the right, but he is definitely not a far-right kid. In his own words: I fall in the ‘mild moderate authoritarian left category and would prefer to be called a populist. He also rejects conservatism, saying conservatism is corporatism in disguise and he wants no part of it.
He blamed Fox News and other news organizations for hiring Jews.
He comes across as a typical leftist who spent too much time reading garbage on the internet.
Christopher Watson says
Why weren’t his teachers ot his parents aware of what was going on in his head? Why didn’t the FBI do something about the situation. His parents should be held accountable and the head of the FBI in Buffalo should be relieved of his job.
Alexander-Solzhenitsyn says
We are seeing the proof of what a FBI agent predicted in 1958 when he published his book The Naked Communist. In that book he listed 45 points he called The Goals of the Communists. They’ve all been achieved. They were so compel;ling a Florida Congressman put them into the Congressional Record in 1963.
Nixon gave us #7, Carter us #44, Madeline Murray O’Hare gave us #28, Betty Friedan helped give us #40 and Roger Baldwin, a World War One draft dodger, founder of the ACLU helped give us the vast majority of the other Goals of the Communists, and is reported to have said their GOAL was Communism. Michigan’s former congressman, John Conyers, gave us #34 and, according to Trevor Loudon, was connected the CPUSA for 50 years. Of course, Detroit’s Coleman Young is reported to have been a Communist.
Interesting how GOAL #30 only shows how prophetic the American Founders were. John Adams said
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Patrick Henry said, “Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.” He also said, “The great pillars of all government and of social life [are] virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone, that renders us invincible.”
The Communists have been attacking America a very long time as Paul Kengor docuemnts in his book “TAKEDOWN, FROM COMMUNISTS TO PROGRESSIVES, HOW THE LEFT HAS SABOTAGED FAMILY AND MARRIAGE.”
I’m grateful to the late Antony Sutton, an economist at the Hoover Institution for all his work that show evidence that Karl Marx is not the author of the Communist Manifesto, but a cousin of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Clinton Roosevelt, who published his book in 1841 and contained a blueprint for the New Deal and the NRA.
Democratic voters have been voting to be put into plantations or what in Russia were called gulags. The Democrats started the Civil War – South Carolina was dominated by Democrats and seceded from the Union six weeks after Lincoln was elected. It was FDR’s administration that handed the secret of the Atomic Bomb to Russia as Major Racey Jordan,, expeditor of Russian lend-lease program documented “From Major Jordan’s Diaries.” George C. Marshall boasted about handing 600 million Chinese to Mao because Chiang Kai-shek would not allow the Communists in his government. Read Skousen’s book The Naked Capitalist.
