As Twitter Takes to Blaming Tucker Carlson for Shooting, Manifesto Confirms Suspect’s No Fan of Fox News; 10 Killed, 3 Wounded in Mass Shooting
By Townhall. On Saturday afternoon, 18-year old Payton Gendron allegedly shot several people, killing 10 at a Tops Friendly Market located in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York. He has been arrested and arraigned on 10 first-degree murder charges.
Trends over Twitter to do with Gendron’s motives included “Great Replacement” and “Tucker Carlson,” as some took to blaming the Fox News host for the shooting. It’s worth emphasizing, though, that the suspect’s own manifesto not only included no mentions of Carlson, but attacked 21st Century Fox for hiring Jewish people.
The suspect expressed many anti-Semitic views, from what screenshots and excerpts are available.
Twitter bans people for linking to these documents even though it helps us understand what is true and what isn’t.
I can’t post it but what I said above is true and verifiable.
Demonic influence.

The killer's manifesto attacks Fox News but feel free to continue exploiting people being murdered for some likes and retweets https://t.co/7n27fdlxfw pic.twitter.com/JOKCga9w6R

Disgusting and insane that Democrat operatives are already exploiting the murder of 10 by blaming Tucker Carlson and Fox News.
The manifesto cites the internet (specific websites) as his inspiration (not TV)—and has an antisemitic meme attacking Fox News.https://t.co/kboxiRSm7P https://t.co/yUxhQCjTpI pic.twitter.com/aqt9jsUlxF

Joe Lockhart, who is actually a communications person, said that there was “blood on the hands” of Carlson, and that “Carlson will be [damned] at judgment day.” He subsequently tweeted glee over the remarks he was getting as people called him out.
More blood on the hands of @tuckercarlson and @foxnews this killer used their racist talking points to justify killing 10 people. Carlson won't stop because as he explained to the NYTimes, it's good for ratings. Lives be damned. As Carlson will be at judgement day. https://t.co/fse5bRvEbN

The gunman who killed at least 10 people in Buffalo is a self-described white supremacist who advocates for the Great Replacement Theory.
He left a manifesto. See if you can tell the difference between it and standard fare on the Tucker Carlson show. https://t.co/ScoxO1NG5E pic.twitter.com/T5mZw9iV9C— Don Moynihan (@donmoyn) May 14, 2022

10 Killed, 3 Wounded in Racist Shooting at Buffalo Supermarket, Officials Say
By NBC News. A white gunman motivated by hate and dressed in tactical gear killed 10 people and wounded three others Saturday afternoon at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket, officials said.
The suspect, an 18-year-old man, shot 13 people — 11 of whom are Black and two who are white — at the Tops Friendly Market, Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said.
Officials said he streamed the attack on a social media platform.
A Twitch spokesperson said the platform has investigated and confirmed that the stream was removed “less than two minutes after the violence started.”
“This was pure evil,” Erie County Sheriff John Garcia said at a news conference. “Straight up racially motivated, hate crime from somebody outside of our community — outside of the City of Good Neighbors, as the mayor said — coming into our community and trying to inflict evil upon us.” (Read more from “10 Killed, 3 Wounded in Racist Shooting at Buffalo Supermarket, Officials Say” HERE)
