The shooter, a white man, killed three people after writing messages of hatred for Black people. He killed himself after opening fire in a dollar store.

A white gunman fatally shot three Black people in hate-motivated shooting at a Dollar General retailer in Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon, Sheriff T.K. Waters said.

“This shooting was racially motivated, and he hated Black people,” the sheriff said at a news conference. “He wanted to kill n------.”

        Many right wing conservatives try to claim the horrible shit their own people do was actually a false flag attack planned by Antifa. Like they did with the January 6th insurrection.

          It would be hilarious if they all died out because of it, but there are always more. Like can they all just go all the way with it? If everything is a false flag, you nutjobs should be shooting up the NRA building or something. They’re liberal plants after all right?
