Mass shooting at Buffalo supermarket

This doesn't pass the sniff test. Then again, lately, a lot doesn't.

Agreed.

This one does have a certain stench to it.

Sure does.

Wonder if this dudes views were polar opposite if you look back a few more years into his history...

I'm not into conspiracy theory...but

If you have ever started a sentence like this, then you might be.

This dude = racist.

Black guy who promoted violence against white people and killed a bunch = controversial views on race.

Such a surprise- Perp was previously investigated for making threats against his high school.

So far I have seen a few calls for "common sense gun control". The NY Governor says CEOs of internet companies need to be held accountable. One fool called it "military style execution", whatever that is.

I haven't heard anyone call for banning body armor... yet. Asshole took a round from the security guard but the armor saved him. I am sure some politician will bemoan the availability of armor emboldening future shooters, something about the gear of war or the like.

His manifesto details all his gear and better options. It's like he wanted to write for a magazine. He has a lot of links to you tube videos describing gear. That will get some accounts shut down.

No one will call this what it is. A scared, sad little boy that wanted attention.

This incident will probably be labeled "domestic terrorism" and go to a federal trial. The logistical result will be increased mass surveillance prescribed by law. The surveillance will probably be filtered by artificial intelligence enabled by quantum computing. The entire electromagnetic spectrum will be exploited. For example: my drivers license on my phone is now accepted as legal ID by some LE agencies in Colorado.

I don't think we're going to see many super public calls for anti gun stuff. Don't get me wrong, they'll do it, but it won't be the number 1 thing we see on TV for weeks like it's been when these things happen in the past. Nothing mobilizes the right like huge anti gun pushes. The left is mobilized by abortion stuff now, which has much of the right quietly keeping their heads down. The left isn't going to want to give the right much reason to poke their heads-up again.

PS - a CA church got shot up today too. I'm guessing that one won't get much press beyond today.

Shooter was known to law enforcement. There's a huge surprise. /SARC

Tired of the entire concept of "hate crime" designation. The crime is what it is. Government has no business trying to play God by 'peering into the criminal's soul' to divine their motivation.

Deal with what can be proven in this world. That's enough to remove threats from society (although that isn't done nearly as often as it should anymore).
