Jacksonville shooter who targeted Black shoppers had swastikas drawn on rifle - eviltoast

The shooter, a white man, killed three people after writing messages of hatred for Black people. He killed himself after opening fire in a dollar store.

A white gunman fatally shot three Black people in hate-motivated shooting at a Dollar General retailer in Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon, Sheriff T.K. Waters said.

“This shooting was racially motivated, and he hated Black people,” the sheriff said at a news conference. “He wanted to kill n------.”

    I love it that Nazis are too damn stupid to give their allies plausible deniability and keep covering everything in swaztikas.

    The Allen Texas mall shooter was a great example - the right wing media tried arguing he was Hispanic, and that he wasn’t right-wing - his huge swaztika tattoos were a false flag… That he wore for years. Even your average Fox viewer isn’t buying that.

        That they’re morons (I know), or that even those morons see through the bullshit (they seem to in this case, but I may be wrong).

      He didn’t actually die, it was all staged, and the tattoos were the temporary ink tattoos.

      This is sarcasm but maybe I shouldn’t give the conspiracy theorists any more ideas.

      The most ridiculous part is how self-contradictory the right wing media explanations get. Like he’s a false flag to make right wing white nationalists look bad, but simultaneously he’s an example of how dangerous Hispanic immigrants are. Firehouse of misinformation - hopefully something sticks, right!?

        Poe’s law is what it is I guess…

        The contradiction is no accident though - it’s a necessary element of fascism - the enemy must always be both pathetically weak and an existential threat.
