/0 Comments/in , /by

Anthony Varvaro, a former Major League Baseball pitcher who retired to become a cop in the New York City area, was killed in a car crash Sunday morning while en route to work at the 9/11 memorial ceremony in Manhattan.

Varvaro, who left the mound in 2016 to join the Port Authority Police Department, was fatally struck in a head-on collision by a driver who was going in the wrong direction after crossing lanes. That driver, 30-year-old Henry Plazas, was also killed in the crash, New Jersey State Police said.

The former MLB pitcher, who played baseball at St. John’s before signing with the Seattle Mariners, Atlanta Braves, and Boston Red Sox, was in a Jersey City stretch of the New Jersey Turnpike when the crash occurred. He was on his way to work a shift at Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan, where the 9/11 anniversary ceremony was underway.

“The crash remains under investigation and there is no additional information available at the moment,” a State Police spokesman said in a statement. (Read more from “Former MLB Pitcher Who Became NYC Cop Killed on Way to 9/11 Memorial” HERE)

NYC Sicko Who Shoved Woman Onto Bronx Subway Tracks Arrested, Cops Say

/0 Comments/in , /by

The sicko suspected of randomly shoving a woman onto subway tracks in The Bronx was arrested Tuesday — after an eagle-eyed MTA worker recognized him from a wanted poster and flagged down cops.

Theodore Ellis, 31, was taken into custody just before noon at the Jackson Avenue station in Melrose – the same station where he shoved his 52-year-old victim onto the roadbed Sunday afternoon, cops said.

An MTA worker recognized Ellis from wanted posters hung up at the station and flagged down police, who put him in cuffs and charged him with assault and reckless endangerment, according to cops and NYPD sources.

The worker told police that Ellis was a regular illegal “swipe seller” at the station, sources said. When cops interviewed him, he made incriminating statements and said he “couldn’t remember” what the victim said to “piss him off” but claimed that he “didn’t show his own strength,” a police official said.

Twisted Diary of Alleged Buffalo Shooter Reveals His Online Radicalization During COVID; Shooter Was an Eco-Socialist Racist Who Hated Fox News and Ben Shapiro

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. The avowed white supremacist who killed 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket first became radicalized during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic by scouring extremist internet messaging boards, according to his twisted online diary.

Payton Gendron, 18, spent months reflecting on his plans to conduct a mass shooting in the digital journal and said his exposure to 4Chan, an online message board known as a hotbed for extremism, kept him motivated to stick to his plans.

“My current beliefs started when I first started to use 4chan a few months after covid started,” Gendron wrote in the diary, which was posted on the Discord app and was taken down after the attack.

“Every time I think maybe I shouldn’t commit to an attack I spend 5 min [on] /pol/, then my motivation returns,” he wrote in another entry, referencing the message board’s politics section, which is known for racist and anti-semitic content. . .

“I’m not proud to kill these lads, in fact I’m desperately looking for a sign or evidence proving that I shouldn’t,” he wrote of his plans to shoot and kill black people in a crazed effort to “save” the white race.

The Buffalo Shooter Was an Eco-Socialist Racist Who Hated Fox News and Ben Shapiro

By Washington Examiner. The New York man who shot up a Buffalo supermarket Saturday kept no secrets about how and why he planned to murder “as many blacks as possible.” From his racist radicalization on the internet due to the coronavirus lockdowns to his specific choice of a black neighborhood with few guns — “NY has cucked gun laws,” wrote the shooter, who made clear he intended to survive the massacre — the Buffalo shooter is no enigma.

Hence, a seemingly concerted effort from the corporate media accusing the Buffalo barbarian of being some sort of Tucker Carlson acolyte would be baffling if it weren’t so transparently malicious. In the 180-page document purported to be authored by the shooter, he does not mention Carlson once. The sole explicit mention of Fox News is an infographic demarcating top Fox hosts such as Maria Bartiromo and Greg Gutfeld as Jewish. (Rupert Murdoch is decried as a “Christian Zionist” who may have Jewish ancestry, “although it’s never publicly admitted.) Ben Shapiro is mentioned multiple times, including as an example as the “rat” phenotype of Jewish people.

Moreover, the Buffalo shooter is a self-described “ethno-nationalist eco-fascist national socialist” who loathes libertarianism and conservatism in particular.

“Ask yourself, truly, what has modern conservatism managed to conserve?” the shooter wrote. “Not a thing has been conserved other than corporate profits and the ever increasing wealth of the 1% that exploit the people for their own benefit. Conservatism is dead. Thank god. Now let us bury it and move on to something of worth.”

Hell, the shooter admits that he’s a socialist, “depending on the definition.” (Read more from “The Buffalo Shooter Was an Eco-Socialist Racist Who Hated Fox News and Ben Shapiro” HERE)

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

/0 Comments/in , , /by

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.

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.

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)

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.

Caught Red Handed? Never Trump Candidate Seen Illegally Forging Petition Signatures in Parking Lot (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A never-Trump Republican in New York can be seen allegedly illegally forging petition signatures in a parking lot in his effort to challenge New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik, a video obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller shows.

Lonny Koons, who is trying to primary Stefanik in NY21, can be seen in his car in videos that were taken at the Ticonderoga Walmart Parking lot on March 24. The day the two videos were filmed he said on social media that he was in Ticonderoga and “obtained a healthy number of petition signatures.” However, the signatures appeared to have been faked and signed by Koons himself.

In the videos, posted on YouTube by an anonymous account called “North Country Watch,” Koons can be seen signing a number of signatures and names on a document in the parking lot, on the same day he said he was collecting signatures in Ticonderoga. The petition filing period starts April 4. Republicans need a minimum of 1,250 signatures to appear on the ballot.

On March 12th, Koons posted a letter on Facebook that he sent to the Working Families Party of New York. In the letter, he states that he is “primarying Ms. Elise Stefanik for the republican nomination” and goes on to ask why the Working Families Party is representing him as a supporter of former President Donald Trump.
