Jacksonville shooter who targeted Black shoppers had swastikas drawn on rifle - Lemmy.world

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------.”

The shooter was clearly driven to violence by socioeconomic hardship

It’s a joke on how white mass shooters are portrayed as victims of society instead of as terrorists

Yes yes we’re all tragedies of pseudo-random determism, 7 billion products of our environment, very sad much insight.

There are millions of poor people that don’t commit hate crimes or terrorism.

Yes, but thats’s removing responsibility on the perpetrator’s part, and we obviously can’t do that. We’re assumed to be responsible for our actions.

We can hold someone responsible for their own actions while still acknowledging that people are a product of their own environment and try to study and address the underlying societal/economic conditions that led to these situations occurring in the first place.

Yea I completely agree

No, it’s very clearly a “joke” about how the left oftentimes attributes crime in urban areas to socioeconomic conditions.

The original commenter here is simultaneously making light of a right-wing shooter with racist manifestos and also making fun of the left.

Nothing has gone over my head.

I took it the same way they did. I thought they were mocking the left.

No. The intent of the commenter’s comment is very clear to me and I guarantee he’s laughing at the fact his comment was upvoted while mine was downvoted.

Check his comment history. He’s a right-wing troll.
