Massacre in Buffalo


 

"There’s no such thing as a lone wolf — an appellation often given, in error, to terrorists who act alone, particularly those of the white supremacist variety. There are only those people who, fed a steady diet of violent propaganda and stochastic terror, take annihilatory rhetoric to its logical conclusion."

Talia Lavin, Rolling Stone

I lived in Buffalo, NY for a time in the nineteen-eighties. Headquartered at the Lafayette Hotel, I was doing a series of metal restoration jobs for my family's business, Stuart-Dean Company. Buffalo was in a pretty depressed state at that time. I remember one night having to walk about half-a-mile in order to find a nightspot where I could meet some nice girls. I finally found a bar called City Lights - which was also the title of Charlie Chaplin's greatest film - a good omen, I thought. It turned out to be a gay bar with no ladies inside whatsoever.

To the best of my knowledge, the last time a shooting in Buffalo made international headlines was when President McKinley was assassinated there on September 14, 1901. Since that time, the place has been fairly docile. That all changed two days ago.

On May 14, an 18-year-old white supremist named Payton S. Gendron walked into a Tops supermarket and preceded to wail away on the crowd gathered there with an AK 15, shooting thirteen people - ten of them fatally. Of the thirteen shot, ten of them were African American. He had traveled over three hours from his hometown of  Conklin, NY. Instead of hitting nearby Binghamton, he chose Buffalo, which has a high percentage of blacks. The store he chose for his attack, Tops, is in a black neighborhood.

His manifesto contained the usual extremist rightwing tirade about how the Jews are trying to dilute the white race by conspiring to bring a lot of nasty, non-white people into the good old USA - the kind of crazy talk that has become part of the mainstream GOP talking point.

Probably by the midpoint of the twentieth century, the "white race" will no longer be in the majority in this country. That's fine 'n' dandy with me. The only race I care about thriving in the future is the human race.

For years I've been saying that the Republicans are no longer a political party. They've become as organized criminal enterprise. I must amend that. They've become a satanic cult. What happened in Buffalo over the weekend is a bleak harbinger of nastier thing to come. Get used to living in a nation in decline

Ever notice how racists are always worried about white people being the victims, even when one of them massacres Blacks in cold blood?

The Republican Party IS the party of white nationalism, criminality, lies, and corruption.

Naturally they hate democracy and equality.

The problem is that this piece of crap human being is a militant green leftist. He hates conservativism, God, and all that the GOP stands for. (Probably a big part of the reason why this story has quickly died in the national media, as it doesn't meet their false narrative.)

The problem is that this piece of crap human being is a white nationalist, believing the hateful white nationalist replacement theory EMBRACED BY MOST REPUBLICANS. Nothing "leftist" about it. Who cares what he thinks about taxes and spending or any other issue. THIS is the one he ACTED on.

It is a radical Right act of terrorism. Period.

They can deny it all they want, but the Great Replacement is echoed throughout Trumpism and the conservative party.

A recent poll, conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, found that one in three American adults now believes in a version of replacement theory.

Darrell is one of them. He's also a true believer in Trump's Big Lie.

At the core of the radical Right's Big Lie and coup is their fear of "democrats wanting open borders to give criminal immigrants the right to vote for them."

It's a lie, but they only respond to their FEELINGS. And it FEELS good to lie about democrats and "evil left". ("They hate America")

The Darrells of the country can't see this is exactly the white nationalist, radical Right "Great Replacement Theory".

Every white racist will emphatically agree with this. It is central to the Klan, Proud Boys, etc. ideology. It exists only in their fearful paranoid white brains.

Replacement theory is one reason, besides Trump's immature insecurity of admitting he lost, they are saying the election was stolen, and want to have one-party control of elections.

Stochastic terrorists like Republican Trumpist Tucker Carlson are fueling this evil madness.

Tucker Carlson Monday night: "I just have to ask, why isn't it ok to think the grocery store shooter might have a legitimate complaint?"

Tucker Carlson is a conservative Republican propagandist.

"14 Words" indicated on the terrorist's AR-15 is a reference to the most popular white supremacist slogan in the world: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."

Carlson attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar for “hating America,” saying, “We have every right to fight to preserve our nation and our heritage and our culture.”

This dog whistle is loud enough for more than dogs. Message received. Stand back and stand by...

We remember Klan Leader David Duke wanted Carlson to be Vice-President.

"President Trump! You have one last chance to turn the tables, win this election and save America—and yourself! Nominate Tucker Carlson for Vice President. This would energize your campaign beyond belief." Duke tweeted.

No wonder the Darrells of the radical Right want to blame the "left".

Same ole same ole Dave, white people are bad, Trump is bad, conservatives are bad, capitalism is bad, GOP is bad, but if you bring up the racism of blacks that is bad, the fraud of the BLM organization that is racism. The only good white conservative is a dead one, right Tom, right Dave?

BTW, the KKK was founded by the Democrat party, something the radical racist left wants to over look, while they bray about Dave Duke who no one follows today.

Just imagine what a wonderful country we would have if those who agree with Dave were in charge. Problem is we have that now and it really sucks.

Just following your black victim race card Dave, lead the way.

How come Dave never talks about the Racism of Blacks? He can't because he doesn't believe Blacks can be racists. Can they be?

"What is a "Democrat Party" anyway? Never heard of it." Not in the least surprised that you haven't.

Notice how Dave doesn't deny that white people are bad, Trump is bad, conservatives are bad, capitalism is bad, GOP is bad, but if you bring up the racism of blacks that is bad, the fraud of the BLM organization that is racism. The only good white conservative is a dead one. And Black conservatives aren't really Black, just ask Biden.

Just imagine what a wonderful country we would have if those who agree with Dave were in charge. Problem is we have that now and it really sucks.

Tell us Dave if you were in charge what would you do to make America a better place to live? If the election in Nov turns out as projected, who you gonna blame?

Anonymous is giving us quite the lesson on how racists react to one of their own terrorist massacres.

Better attack Blacks, amirite?

Looks like they have another reason to hate Biden:

President Biden traveled to Buffalo, New York, today,(5-17-22) where he forcefully condemned the racist shooting that killed 10 people and injured three more, and decried the weekend massacre as an unequivocal act of terror.

"What happened here is simple and straightforward terrorism. Terrorism. Domestic terrorism. Violence inflicted in the service of hate, and a vicious thirst for power," Biden said at a community center after solemnly placing flowers at a makeshift memorial and visiting privately with the families of Saturday's shooting victims.

"Through the media, politics and the Internet," people are led into "falsely believing that they will be replaced – that's their word, 'replaced' by the other, by people who don't look like them," Biden said, his voice rising in anger as he denounced the "poison" of white supremacy.

"I call on all Americans to reject the lie. I condemn those who spread the lie for power, for political gain and for profit," Biden said in an apparent swipe at Republican politicians and conservative broadcasters who have embraced – or, at least, tolerated – the theory.

"We need to say as clearly and forcefully as we can that the ideology of white supremacy has no place in America. None," Biden said. "Failure to say that is going to be complicity. Silence is complicity, and we cannot remain silent."

This is what they call "mentally impaired" and "senile". They hate him.

And of course they hate Liz Cheney now, too. 5-16-22: “The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse. GOP leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them.”

But they DO trust and believe Trump, who would only reluctantly denounce racism when pressed by reporters, AFTER saying there were "very fine people" among the white nationalists gathered in Charlottesville.

He told his white nationalist racists who stormed the Capitol, "We love you, you’re very special".

And they trust and believe this guy:

Mark Levin (FOX-R) today: I've "never heard of" the racist replacement theory.
Levin last year: Democrats want to "change the voter rolls by changing the citizenry, by changing the demographics. It's so obvious, and yet you're not allowed to say it. And yet, I said it over 12 years ago".

This is what they believe.

As I keep saying, racism isn't racism to racists.

Anonymous Vern proves this all the time.

Oh... I see. So if a person is racist, despite espousing hate of capitalism and touting green policies, he must still be a conservative at heart. That is a handy piece of work there Dave. Perhaps you should have replaced Jen Psaki as Biden's press secretary. This is the crap and the hateful lies that so many leftists spread. If you are a pernicious racist, you are a conservative... despite all evidence to the contrary, including self avowal of being a leftist.

"Russia Hoax Court Case Bombshell: FBI Agent Testifies It Took ‘Less Than a Day’ to Determine Trump’s Ties to Russia Were Bogus . . . Yet the Fake News/Democrats/Deep State Pushed as Truth for 3 Years . . .

Be careful, Anonymous. Dave will be calling you an authoritarian racist for criticizing the Lugenpresse. (lying press). The "4th arm of the government" would never lie even though they are the mouth piece for the leftist Democrat party. They bury stories like this and Hunter Biden's laptop so that their candidates aren't harmed, while making crap up against conservatives out of whole cloth.

It would be nice to actually have journalists that stick to facts instead of editorializing and slanting their reporting to reflect some preconceived political agenda. Dave champions the untruths spewed by the "truthful press" though, so how dare you criticize these lies! ;)

And no Dave, I am not going to respond to your next falsehood filled diatribe that you send in response. I don't have the time or energy to spend the entire day refuting your hatefulness and lies. You attack and demean anyone that has the temerity to disagree with you, even if they agree with 95% of the rest of your agenda. THIS is why you are not welcome on my site and why I typically do not waste my time even acknowledging your nonsense. Anyone with eyes can read the discussions we have had and see how out of bounds you are so very often. I guess your emotional connection to the left is simply too strong to overcome and actually see the truth. This America today that is falling to pieces is what happens as millions of Americans, including duped Democrats, are harmed by the nonsensical leftist policies of the Biden administration.

Darrell thinks I'm a "leftist who hates America".

He never could cite any specific words of mine to support his hateful accusation, and got mad at me for demanding such justification for his vile demonization.

He also refused to show evidence Biden stole the election. Wonder why?

So he banned me, and called me "hateful".

Want to know what isn't hateful to him. He lets his sidekick Vern call me a "racist commie".

Yup. Radical Right hate and double standards go hand in hand.

No wonder he's furious with me and deflects from an act of radical Right racist terrorism.

The terrorist didn't massacre capitalists, did he? He didn't shoot conservative Republicans, did he? He didn't shoot Proud Boys, did he?

Darrell totally misrepresented what I said. (The Right does this all the time.) "So if a person is racist, despite espousing hate of capitalism and touting green policies, he must still be a conservative at heart. That is a handy piece of work there Dave."

Problem is, I never said that. Darrell made that up about me.

Let's get something straight.

The radical Right are not "conservative" at all. They are radical, bent on suppressing our voter rights, controlling elections, and buying into Trump's Big Lie and coup.

Darrell got off the "conservative bus" when he swallowed Trumpism hook, line and sinker.

This is his idea of "journalists that stick to facts instead of editorializing and slanting their reporting to reflect some preconceived political agenda".

Mark Levin (FOX-R) today: I've "never heard of" the racist replacement theory.
Levin last year: Democrats want to "change the voter rolls by changing the citizenry, by changing the demographics. It's so obvious, and yet you're not allowed to say it. And yet, I said it over 12 years ago".


Darrell can't deny it. This is his radical ideology. He is a Trumpist. Trumpism is not conservatism, it is white nationalism.

White Nationalists Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, 3%ers, the Klan, etc. ALL support Trump's Big Lie and bigotry.

So does Marjorie Taylor-Greene. So does Darrell.

Darrell's radical Right judgment of me is in line with all of them. That's HIS club, not mine. And certainly NOT most Americans. It is outside the bounds of reason and decency.

Darrell wants to frame the terrorist as a "leftist", as if a 12-year old Gendron knew what he was talking about.

What did he say?

"When I was 12 I was deep into communist ideology, talk to anyone from my old highschool [sic] and ask about me and you will hear that.”

From age 15 to 18 however, I consistently moved farther to the right."

Not that his words speak louder than his actions.

Why would anybody from high school know what he thought when he was 12?

Sounds just like the Nazis...The Department of Homeland Security has released a very concerning new report showing that radical abortion activists plan to burn down or storm the Supreme Court building and murder justices and their law clerks once the decision overturning Roe v. Wade is released. The report indicates these pro-abortion extremists will also target churches and other places of worship with violence and vandalism.

CBS News reports that many of these threats have been made online on social media and are currently being reviewed by law enforcement agencies. Sounds like an insurrection is being planned

Will any progressive, liberal, pro abortion person condemn?

Dallas charges a Black man with a HATE CRIME, arresting him for shooting up an Asian (Korean) beauty parlor, injuring several Koreans with an ASSAULT like rife.

Will any progressive, liberal, condemn?

Of course not, their only standard is the double standard.

 
At 5:17 PM, Blogger Dave Dubya said...

Racists would deflect from the terrorist massacre to abortion and Black crime for some reason.

Hmm. I wonder why...

Of course a liar and racist can't quote any DHS "report", because he LIED about what was in it.

CNN: A DHS memo warns that "domestic violence extremists and criminal actors have adopted narratives surrounding abortion rights to encourage violence, likely increasing the threat to government, religious, and reproductive healthcare personnel and facilities and ideological opponents."

Intelligence officials believe people "across a broad range of ideologies are attempting to justify and inspire attacks against abortion-related targets and ideological opponents at lawful protests."

"We assess that the broader ideological spectrum of potential DVEs (domestic violent extremists) linked to recent abortion-related threats likely seek to target a range of individuals and entities," the officials wrote in the memo.


It says NOTHING about a "radical abortion activists plan to burn down or storm the Supreme Court building and murder justices and their law clerks".

The memo says law enforcement is looking at social media threats, as they should.

No "plan" has been discovered.

Racists are pathological liars.

What kind of people ban abortions?

Vern's fellow "Christians".

Sounds just like Nazis.

Note the tendency on the radical Right to get even more angry at the left when there is a radical Right terrorist attack. Lies are their only justification and defense, of course.

A quick recap of the lies and misrepresentations in this thread from Darrell and his sidekick, all debunked with facts:

Darrell:
The problem is that this piece of crap human being is a militant green leftist.

So if a person is racist, despite espousing hate of capitalism and touting green policies, he must still be a conservative at heart. That is a handy piece of work there Dave.

You attack and demean anyone that has the temerity to disagree with you, even if they agree with 95% of the rest of your agenda.

I guess your emotional connection to the left is simply too strong to overcome and actually see the truth.


(These are the statements from a person who believes Trump’s Big Lie that Biden stole the election, and democrats are "commies". He also believes I am a “leftist who hates America” who “attacks and demeans” anyone who disagrees with me. No wonder he’s exhausted at being the victim all the time. It must hurt his FEELINGS when his lies are exposed. And hurting his feelings must mean I hate America, I suppose.)

Anonymous Vern:
The left can only win by delegitimizing or silencing their opponents.

BTW, the KKK was founded by the Democrat party.

“...Radical abortion activists plan to burn down or storm the Supreme Court building and murder justices and their law clerks...


(This brings to mind a line from Shakespeare’s Macbeth: “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”)


I’ll gladly stop telling the truth about them when they stop lying. But we all know they can’t help it. Their leaders and propagandists lie to them every day and they believe every one of them.

It’s all about hating the non-believers. Now they hate Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney because they don’t accept Trump’s Big Lie and coup.

I guess that makes them “democrat commie appeasers”. (Darrell’s words.)

Anonymous Vern the liar can’t resist showing us how much he embraces white nationalism.

Maybe one reason why there is more Black on Asian crime is because there are twice as many Blacks as Asians in the US, and their poverty rate is much higher?

Racists don’t care for these facts.

US Black population: 13.4%

US Asian population: 7%

In 2020, 19.5 percent of Black people living in the United States were living below the poverty line. This is compared to 8.2 percent of White people, and 8.1 percent of Asian

Racists will ALWAYS lie:

”NBC: Is Black-On-Asian Violence A Hate Crime Or Just Blacks Acting Black?”

Those are NOT the words at NBC. See for yourself.
