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------.”
I imagine it’s a quote from the manifesto. So he said it to drive home the clarity of the hate.
Yeah…but, he could’ve softened the blow a bit with different wording.
i suppose it is better than sugar coating it though, ultimately.
Making it clear in no uncertain terms what the shooter meant and said seems better.
