Relatives of Buffalo Massacre Suspect Say COVID, Maybe the Vax Are to Blame

/0 Comments/in , /by

Relatives of Buffalo’s supermarket-slaughter suspect are copping the COVID defense, telling The Post on Monday that the teen likely snapped because of his paranoia and isolation from the pandemic. . .

“I have no idea how he could have gotten caught up in this. I blame it on COVID,’’ said Sandra Komoroff, 68, a cousin of Gendron’s mom Pamela, referring to the teen’s alleged hate-fueled rampage that left 10 black people dead at a Tops Friendly Market on Saturday.

“He was very paranoid about getting COVID, extremely paranoid, to the point that — his friends were saying — he would wear the hazmat suit [to school],” she said. . .

“They were vaxxed to the max,” she said of the family. “I don’t know if it was a bad case, I just know [the alleged shooter] caught it” . . .

Her husband Dave Komoroff, 68, added, “In theory, [COVID or the vax] could have affected what they call the lizard brain — the part of the brain that controls aggression.

“I can’t say it’s impossible, but maybe that would happen one out of so many millions of times.” (Read more from “Relatives of Buffalo Massacre Suspect Say COVID, Maybe the Vax Are to Blame” HERE)

Buffalo Shooting Was Premeditated and Shooter Visited Area Months Ago: Police

/0 Comments/in , /by

Buffalo, New York, officials confirmed Monday that the shooting suspect who killed 10 people and injured three others, 11 of whom were black, at a supermarket Saturday visited the area months ago.

The suspect, Payton Gendron, an 18-year-old resident of Conklin, visited Buffalo in early March. Monday’s revelation that Gendron traveled to the area earlier this year came after Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said the shooting was premeditated.

“Information has also come as a result of some of this investigation that the individual was here a few months ago, back in early March,” Gramaglia said at a press conference.

Gramaglia went on to emphasize that investigators are still digging through evidence as the investigation into the alleged racially motivated shooting at Tops Friendly Market continues.

Gendron reportedly targeted the Buffalo area because it “has the highest black percentage that is close enough to where I live,” he wrote in a 180-page manifesto posted online, according to CNN. (Read more from “Buffalo Shooting Was Premeditated and Shooter Visited Area Months Ago: Police” HERE)

Buffalo Shooter’s Quiet Hometown Stunned After Supermarket Shooting

/0 Comments/in , /by

Residents of rural Conklin, New York were stunned Saturday by the news the gunman accused in the Buffalo supermarket attack was a teenager who lived in their town.

Payton Gendron, 18, allegedly drove his parents’ car over 200 miles from Conklin to Buffalo Saturday to massacre 10 people in a racially motivated mass shooting he live streamed on Twitch.

Conklin is a sleepy community of about 5,000 people on the Susquehanna River just north of the Pennsylvania border in Broome County and 10 miles south of Binghamton. The population is 95.7 percent white, according to Census estimates.

“It’s disturbing — this kid went to the same school system as I did … how can someone that had a similar upbringing do this?” said Alexis Sorbello, who was bartending at Jumbo’s the only bar in town open late Saturday.

The local bar on Saturday had an American flag hanging by the pool table and pro wrestling and a baseball game on the big screens— but no sign of the shooting that hours ago brought national spotlight to their small community.

Why the Liberal Media Is About to Smother the Recent Mass Shooting in Sacramento

/0 Comments/in , , /by

There was a mass shooting at a bar in Sacramento, California a few days ago. Joe Biden did mention it. The usual folks went through the motions, calling for more gun control. Six people were left dead with another dozen or so wounded. More than 100 shots were fired. Why is it getting buried? Well, we have a war in Ukraine, high inflation, high gas prices, a border crisis that’s about to get worse, and a supply chain still in chaos. There’s a lot of more pressing news, but there’s also another reason. The suspect doesn’t fit the ‘bash the white dudes’ narrative. It’s not a white male. Therefore, countermeasures have been deployed by the liberal media. This story is about to die, but police did arrest two people connected to the shooting (via Fox News):

Sacramento police have announced the arrest of a second suspect – the brother of the first suspect arrested Monday – in connection to the weekend mass shooting that left six dead and a dozen wounded.

Smiley Martin, 27, was taken into custody Tuesday morning as he recovered at a hospital from injuries suffered during the gunfire that broke out in the California capital’s entertainment district early Sunday morning, the Sacramento Police Department said. . .

Martin is the brother of 26-year-old Dandrae Martin, who was arrested as a suspect in the mass shooting a day earlier. Dandrae Martin is facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Neither has been accused of homicide.

At Least 15 Shot, 1 Dead, in ‘Hellish’ Bar Shooting

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A mass shooting at a crowded Minnesota bar early Sunday left at least 15 people shot — including a young woman who died — and “bullet holes all over,” according to local police.

Officers found a “hellish situation” when they arrived at the Seventh Street Truck Park bar in St. Paul about 12:15 a.m., cops said in a statement.

“In an instant, they found themselves caught in a hellish situation,” St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell said.

Gunshot victims were found inside the bar, on the sidewalk and in the street, according to the Pioneer Press. The woman, who hasn’t been publicly identified, was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said she was in her 20s. . .

Three men, ages 33, 32 and 29, were arrested, CBS Minnesota reported. (Read more from “At Least 15 Shot, 1 Dead, in ‘Hellish’ Bar Shooting” HERE)

An FBI So Corrupt It Lets Mass Shooters Rampage; Needs to Go

/1 Comment/in , /by

The New York Times reported on March 27 that Syrian-born Colorado mass shooter Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa had been on the FBI’s radar before he murdered 10 people in a grocery store. . .

According to a police affidavit, six days before Alissa shot 10 people to death, he purchased a pistol. That would have required him to pass a federal background check also run by the FBI. It seems the FBI is not very good at this “stopping mass shooters” thing.

This is not an anomaly in the FBI’s history. It in fact appears to be a pattern of negligence. During the Barack Obama presidency, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., grilled FBI Director James Comey about the “known wolf” problem — of 14 Islamist attacks in the U.S. during Obama’s tenure, the FBI had been aware of at least 12 before the violence erupted, and did nothing. . .

While the FBI has been failing to stop terrorist attacks by known threats like these, it has conducted numerous political operations on behalf of Democrats. The ones we know about include Crossfire Hurricane‘s use of federal spy power to affect election outcomes and prevent effective governance by elected Republicans. That operation included spying on Fox News.

In 2020, the FBI sent 15 agents to investigate a rope tied in a loop that hysterical people alleged was a “noose” after a black NASCAR driver was assigned a garage with the rope as its door pull. The FBI investigation determined the rope had been in the same shape and spot since at least 2019. (Read more from “An FBI So Corrupt It Lets Mass Shooters Rampage Needs to Go” HERE)

Potential Mass Shootings Thwarted by Police Following up on Tips and Enforcing Existing Laws

/0 Comments/in , /by

Law enforcement personnel have thwarted multiple potential mass shooting incidents in recent days, and they didn’t need new gun control laws to do it.

Tristan Scott Wix was arrested in Florida on Friday after his ex-girlfriend notified local authorities about some text messages he sent, allegedly saying things like “A school is a weak target.. id be more likely to open fire on a large crowd of people from over 3 miles away.. I’d wanna break a world record for longest confirmed kill ever” and “I’m not crazy I just wanna die and I wanna have fun doing it, but I’m the most patient person in the world.” Wix told authorities that he didn’t own any firearms, but Volusia County, Florida, Sheriff Michael Chitwood told CNN that officers found a rifle and 400 rounds of ammunition in his apartment. He was charged with making written threats to commit a shooting.

Brandon Wagshol was arrested in Connecticut after the FBI followed up on a tip. During their investigation, authorities found a social media post that “showed his interest in committing a mass shooting.” He was arrested on multiple counts of violating state magazine capacity restrictions.

20-year-old James Patrick Reardon was arrested in Ohio after he allegedly made threats against a local Jewish community center on social media. Reardon posted a video of a man shooting a rifle with sirens and screams in the background and tagged the center. “That kicked off an intense investigation, a very rapidly evolving investigation because of the way the world is,” Police Chief Vince D’Egidio told WYTV-TV.

The FBI also arrested a 15-year-old girl in California last week after she allegedly sent out a message on SnapChat with a picture of a gun and the words “don’t come to school tomorrow.” The Bureau was first alerted by a warning from the social media company.

It’s important to note that these four people were caught not because of any gun control law, but because people paid attention and law enforcement followed up on tips, investigated, and acted on that information. New gun control laws weren’t needed in these cases. Diligence and good old-fashioned police work were.

There’s no evidence that new gun control proposals would have stopped either the Dayton or the El Paso shootings, and a lot of American adults agree with that assessment. Background checks can’t stop people who haven’t done anything criminal, and many of the mass murder suspects in recent years have been first-timers. Red flag laws are rife with opportunities to violate people’s rights to self-defense, rights to their own property, and due process of law. Besides, police didn’t need any “red flag” orders to address these cases; making threats is already a criminal offense.

There is no magical “set it and forget it” option to ensure public safety. Stay alert. Pay attention. Speak up when there’s cause for concern, and always have a plan to protect yourself and your family.
