“The White gunman who killed three Black people in a racially motivated attack at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday legally purchased the two firearms he used in the shooting earlier this year, Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said in a news conference Sunday.

The gunman, identified as 21-year-old Ryan Christopher Palmeter, bought a handgun in April and an AR-15-style rifle in June, the sheriff said. He lived with his parents in nearby Orange Park and had no criminal arrest history, although he had been temporarily involuntarily held under the Baker Act in 2017, the sheriff said.”

  1. You realise most countries have freedom of speech….but it's still illegal to post racist remarks or to incite hate crimes or domestic and international terrorism…..idiot country full of idiot people with a constitution that's not worth the paper it's written on.

  2. You got to be one dum mf'er to hate someone so bad that you would risk your own life to take theirs.😂 That means he thought his life was worth less than theirs. And he was right cause anyone that could do it ain't sh!t and he knew he wasn't sh!t and wasn't gunna be sh!t.🤔😕🤦😂😂🤷Yet the thought of sendeing them to where ever they go after death before him get there and they ain't there already waiting for him doesnt cross anyone of these id!ots mind.

  3. You sound stupid asf.. if someone else would've had a weapon to engage the lunatic randomly shooting people then maybe 3 people wouldnt be dead. No matter how many laws retarded people wanna make it will stop nothing. Guns dont kill people. Psychotic cowards do. If the threat of life in prison doesnt stop them explain how another 5 year sentence will? Your offended by guns im offended by your microphone.. so lets ban you from talking stupidity..

  4. Why do you care about the type of weapon used? Would it be less horrible if he used a rock or a tree branch? Focus on whatever is driving people to do this, instead of the ol blame guns routine.

  5. Another low ball aim from the democratic regime to assume total control over the states and country. There are still over 2,000 children missing in Maui with no answers as to their whereabouts. Our own government allowed a manufactured virus to be released into the public and then forced millions of Americans into poverty with unnecessary shutdowns and social distancing. The economy collapsed from within due to inflation as a result of the lockdowns and restrictions of goods, food, oil, etc. they control our media and then bate us with race wars to try to mandate gun control on the masses. Where are the 2,000 children that are missing in Maui? Why is the media not covering this? I’m sure hundreds of them were black as well. Fuck the media, fuck every single mainstream news outlet and fuck social media. They have all sold out to temporary riches and killed our entire nation. They will stop at nothing to confuse, manipulate and drive us to hate each other. If they can’t control you with fear, they will use division. America is on its last leg, it is time to wake up and realize we are not each others enemy. The WHO, the WEF, the American government and most of not all governing powers of the world ARE the enemy. And they are the few and we are the many and THEY KNOW THIS! Do you!????

  6. All the sh… that's so-called black people receive in this country,you do not see us as a whole going around killing innocent people because of the color of the skin. When some of these people with the same color skin of the one who's been terrorizing us for over 400 years.

  7. I find it funny that the same people who take away kids play time saying “when one ruins it for them they ruin for the group” throw a bitch fit when ever their precious toys are brought up about being taken away. Grow tf up and stop acting like a child.

  8. First, it is only a lunatic who would say people should have the right to own guns. They shouldnt. There is no reason that in a sane society people should be able to walk into a department store and buy guns. Period. No guns for anyone. It is not a right, it makes no sense it is dumb and stupid and should not exist.

    Second, again, look into the superpacs and dems are still receiving gun money. Why have they passed ZERO meaningful legislation against guns even when they held the presidency, the house and the senate? So stop pretending this is ONLY a republican issue. Again, that appropriations bil was a giant handout to pharma companies opening deaddcition clinics as they continue to fund addiction. So I am not sure they did anything to actually help solve the situation but was just more money for Biden donors.

    Third, I find it entertaining that TYT was pretending it is not a mental health issue just a few shootings earlier when the shooter claimed to be trans. I understand that the right was potraying being trans as the mental health issue which is not the actual problem here. And the correct response was to tell what mental health crises are the real issues. But TYT instead chose to pretend mental health is not an issue at all. Like this is why people cant take you seriously.

    And lastly, It is not a swastika, it is a Hakenkrause. Swastikas were held in hig regard by the ROma, 4 million of whom were also massacred by Hitler in the holocaust. Imagine falsely using a symbol the Jews held sacred to symblise nazi ideology. That is the epitome of racism. Hitler never knew of the swastika, had never heard of it. He took the symnol from an ancient Roman symbol and was adapted from the ancient Christian Cross. All evidence from the nazi party points to them associating it with the ancient christian cross not with the Swatika., That association was made by the British who tried to associate India with the Nazis to justify their brutal oppression of a country they were trying to illegally occupy as the same country fought in the world war for them., Then is was co opted by USA to link Japan (predominantly Buddhist at the time) to nazis and the stupid conflation was born. This stupidity needs to be recitifed because the amount of (rightful) hate we have for Nazis is going to end up causing people harming and hating on people from Asia and Africa for a symbol they have used as a symbol of peace, wellbeing and progress for millenia. It is so integral to their culture that not explaining this difference is another level of nazism on our part. Continuing to use the wrong terminology is holding the peaceful symbol of their culture hostage to Hitler's hate (and colonial hate) and is perpetuating a racism of its own kind. Hitler's ideology still wins if these cultures (that Hitler thought vile enough to eliminate from the earth) cant express their culture because of our propaganda and we see them through the eyes of nazism when they had nothing to do with it. What is worse, we would be perpetuating it. Canada has the sense to officially change that, maybe we should too.

  9. If your sandwich motivated you to kill someone that is being insane.

    If you read that black people are the enemy and that motivates you to kill that is not crazy that is being a hateful monster.

  10. I've always said that the mental health issue should be secondary when it comes to this issue. Once you can identify that they have certain mental health issues. And that they shouldn't have a gun then you can work on the actual institutions. So we're not dismissing the mental health idea But it should always be secondary. Like it's still on the radar. But ultimately what really needs to be done with here is The easy access to the guns. Also at least with this case. I think he already was racist even before he got into the mental institution. So at that point, it leaves the mental health argument Moot. To solely blame it on mental health, at least on their side is preposterous to say the least.

  11. “Mental health“ doesn’t have a goddamn thing to do with these white Supremus domestic terrorist.
    Because none of them have been mentally unwell enough to go and challenge some black gang member who might be armed.
    They know what they’re doing. They are cowards.
    It is interesting to watch this video right after the one where U2, blasted representative Ayana, Presley, and Professor Ibram X Kendi before they’re allegedly “divisive“ comments… But you didn’t bother to mention that THIS is the type of situation that they were responding to.

  12. When they talk about the gun was legal. Every single mass shooter that I have ever heard of got their gun legally. It's all because of how lax the regulations are. At that point I don't pay attention to that anymore Because everyone is going to be saying that it should have been more difficult to get the guns Which we already know as fact. So I don't really pay attention to that whenever these things happen.

  13. What's really disappointing about the situation? Is that a young man nineteen years old and a Young black father had to suffer because nothing is being done about accessibility to guns. You guys wanna talk about pro-life? Tell that to the people who lost their loved ones Is that four year old child who's lost their daddy, And anybody else who have lost these other three people. We're sending our prayers up to florida from jamaica. This is just a saddening situation to hear about. And it's even more saddening that it's gonna be the same thing that you're gonna hear again like with Uvalde or El Paso or Tennesee or Parkland etc. 🙄🙄🙄😔😔😔😔 SMFH

  14. Another thing i don't understand about this incident the security guards didnt think it looked fishy that he was putting on battle armor and a mask? They just let him get away even after he didnt want to identify himself? That seems pretty irresponsible for law enforcement. What's one of the arguments that republicans say "we should put police and others go to guard the places"? Yet another example if Uvalde wasn't enough That this wouldn't help. They're really trying hard To scapegoat So that nothing can be done about guns. All my life i've been told it was gun lobby but After actually reading the second amendment im convinced its more than that. THIS Is What Most democrats should be Zooming in on. Attacking what their argument is From the ground up Just to show you how nonsensical it is. Not only are they doing it because of the gun lobby But they're misinterpreting the law and misinforming the public So that these guns can be kept in place. So I know it's more than just money they are for.

  15. I've been saying this for a long while. The shootings could easily be dealt with and avoided if there was better regulation on them. Most americans do agree that they should have background checks or tighter background checks and banning assault rifle since those are the ones that are killing people. But then this incident goes one step further and it's a hate crime based on manifestos. I also heard that he was a part of a mental institution. My thoughts on that is that those same republicans are gonna say mental health is the problem When clearly this guy had a problem even before that! Furthermore, The reliance and defense of the second amendment is misplaced. Here's what I think. I think they took the line "the right to bear arms shall not be infringed" They latched onto it and then said to everybody that the guns are free to carry around And that if you ban guns you're going to break the second amendment. But here's the problem, There's another section part of that second amendment which specifically states a WELL REGULATED militia. It's literally the first thing they write on the constitution. What it's basically saying is that those people in said Well regulated militia are the ones that have the right to bear their arms. And I don't know if it's me and common sense for anything But those groups arent being formed At least not in my generation But even if they were it's not just any militia has to be well regulated. And for certain, mass shooters don't count cause they're not forming a group to defend the state. So the The republicans have been misinforming everybody for the past over thirty years on this. This is where the gun conversation needs to start. Because if you're going to misinterpret a law in order to allow people to get killed, Then you are the problem in society. You're what's wrong with the gun culture!

  16. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

    I read this with the understanding of what the country had at the time of writing this.
    First! We did NOT have a standing Army at the time this was written, Thus necessitated the Volunteering Civilians to keep and bear their own arms for when such a call of duty were to befall them.
    You know what that sounds like? I'll wait… That's right. The Reserves! It sounds EXACTLY like what the current United States Reserves role is.
    Did you know that not every person in the military is fully geared to the teeth? Including some of the Reserves. Most jobs don't even have Firearms as a regular part of their job.

    Second! The Founding Fathers who wrote voted and affirmed these Amendments had simply had enough of the Crowns tyranny by that point. Why would they make an Amendment like this if they knew weapons like AR-15's M-16's and other extremely fast firing weapons would be manufactured. Doing so with this Amendment and its current "Ambiguity" would nothing short of objective insanity. As they would be the DIRECT cause of trading one problem for another more difficult problem to get rid of.

    Lastly; The 2nd Amendment was put into the Bill of Rights as a measure to make sure that there was a way to provide for the common defense of the nation through a volunteer system similar in nature to the Reserves. And anyone that calls themselves a patriot by saying things like: "It's what the Founding Fathers Wanted" /or/ "Fight the tyranny" … Well put plainly and bluntly. they are nothing more than raving lunatics that would rather see fellow Americans gunning each other down in some sort of Hunger games where only the crazies go hunting. And everyone else is just a victim of someone else's complete and utter willful ignorance.

    An automatic or even semi-automatic firearm in general has NO PLACE and NO BUSINESS being in the hands of a civilian. They were designed for the express purpose of fighting WARS and KILLING. They serve no purpose and hold no value besides the a reminder that our Human Race still hates others more than desiring peace and prosperity. Two things that NEVER should have come at the cost of blood. Yet people are inherently greedy when handed any power.

  17. As soon as they make bans on certain people getting guns. Black Americans will somehow fit that description.
    Just like Cali made gun laws, once black Americans exercised the right to bear arms.
    I live in florida, and background checks are made. But the constitution says you can carry guns, and the law says you must be convicted of a felony to take those rights away. An arrest means nothing when cops bring false charges.

  18. I sometimes wish I had behaved with more maturity and done things differently but when I hear about incidents like this I wonder WTF could possibly cause a person to do something like this!
