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------.”

    He didn’t actually die, it was all staged, and the tattoos were the temporary ink tattoos.

    This is sarcasm but maybe I shouldn’t give the conspiracy theorists any more ideas.

    The most ridiculous part is how self-contradictory the right wing media explanations get. Like he’s a false flag to make right wing white nationalists look bad, but simultaneously he’s an example of how dangerous Hispanic immigrants are. Firehouse of misinformation - hopefully something sticks, right!?

      Poe’s law is what it is I guess…

      The contradiction is no accident though - it’s a necessary element of fascism - the enemy must always be both pathetically weak and an existential threat.
