AP’s tweet is the source my title and - as you can see - it’s far better than the article’s headline.
BREAKING: A white man fatally shot three Black people, then himself, at a Jacksonville, Florida, Dollar General store in what officials described as a hate crime.
according to The Independent the shooter’s assault rifle and glock were covered in swastikas
Who tf puts swastikas on your gun? Like even the actual nazis didn’t do that. Death to Nazis we need a new barbara pit
the shooter’s assault rifle and glock were covered in
swastikasinnocuous, non-racist, pro-Ukrainian, symbols.I swear, all this shit in America has just made me completely apathetic to anything that happens, and I hate it.
florida really is hell right now, jesus. really shows how much government sponsored hate speech can quickly lead to stochastic terrorism
I haven’t checked, but how much y’all want to bet right wing commentators are probably already spinning the old “uhm akshully the Nazis are leftists”
excuse right about now
I’m sure he’ll be written off as a “lone wolf” by the end of the week.
Some humming and hawing about “mental health”, followed by not doing a single thing for mental health.
national socialist, it’s right there in the name!!!
Nobody has ever misused a word cynically ever!!!
uhm akshully the Nazis are leftists
Big if true.
The coolest part of having lived in so many parts of the country is being able to go “oh yeah I know where that is” on like every fifth mass shooting or so
That’s depressing as hell.
That’s my life.
I don’t personally know anyone who has been shot or killed in a mass shooting, but I’ve been to Club Q. I’ve been to the movie theater in Aurora. I’ve been to the King Soopers that got shot up. Shit, I was born in Jacksonville, I know the area very well. Kings Road.
I’m sure everyone here can empathize, but when I say what I say, it’s the truth. I look at all these places and I just go for fucks sake, that could have been me, I’ve literally been there.
I feel like a walking zombie most days - I’d say “walking dead” but i dont think that really gets the point across with the tv show and all that. I feel like I’m always one minute away from being murdered, because by sheer virtue of all the places I’ve been, it’s like it’s constantly following me.
If Edgar Allan Poe was alive to day and he saw your comment - he might write a story called Death Follows Me. And there would be no need for the supernatural or monsters or devils. Present day America has vile people, mass shooters, and terrorists as substitutes.
AND I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN
WHERE AT LEAST I KNOW I’M FREEI hate this country

So he hated himself, too
So god damn pathetic. Have zero purpose in life, seething at this fantasy that minorities somehow have an advantage over him, becomes suicidal over said fantasy and lack of purpose, and instead of just offing himself he needs to lash out. Terrible country
