Fox News is busy harping on mask mandates and Joe Biden today while most media are talking about the mass live-streamed assault rifle slaughter in Buffalo inspired by an adherent of the “great replacement” illness parroted by Fox’s top talk show host, the former Arkansas Democrat-Gazette editorial writer Tucker Carlson, and an increasing number of Republican politicians. The theory undergirds some of the crap (anti-‘CRT’, sanctuary cities, etc.) that pass through the Arkansas legislature
The white killer of mostly Black people was taken into custody unharmed. The stories of individual victims are emerging.
This 72-year-old civil rights activist, gunned down while grocery shopping yesterday, wrote a letter to the editor last year demanding stronger gun regulation. Linked herein. RIP, Kat Massey https://t.co/v0AcrMzh1I

Pearly Young, 77, was killed in Buffalo shopping for groceries. She was a woman of God, who for 25 years she ran a pantry where every Saturday she fed people in Central Park. Every. Saturday. She loved singing, dancing, & being with family. She was mother, grandma, & missionary. pic.twitter.com/WNe0j8TOet

I just saw the video of the #BuffaloShooting
Horrendous
Retired Buffalo PD PO Aaron Salter Jr served for 30 years & was a security guard at the store. He was killed while engaging the savage POS shooter
Honor all the victims. Never forget this hero 😞#Buffalo pic.twitter.com/j9RdoMye5r
