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------.”

    Killing three random dudes in a Dollar General isn’t going to “save the white race”. This guy’s plan is either evidence he was so dumb we’re better off without him in the gene pool, or was intended to kick-start the race war they want so badly. I refuse to feel sorry for him in either case. I’m not taking the high road. Fuck this guy.

Either way, an idiot that has signed a receipt for “I won’t be missed”
