The white man accused of killing 10 Black people in a gun attack at a Buffalo supermarket has been charged with federal hate crimes and could face the death penalty if convicted.

Accused has previously been charged by State of New York, which does not have death penaltyPeople observe a moment of silence for the victims of the Buffalo supermarket shooting outside the Tops Friendly Market on May 21. The U.S. attorney general said Wednesday that families of the shooting victims will be consulted in the decision about whether to seek the death penalty.

"No one in this country should have to live in fear that they will go to work or shop at a grocery store and will be attacked by someone who hates them because of the colour of their skin," Garland said at a news conference addressing the federal charges. Garland earlier placed a bouquet of white flowers tied with a yellow ribbon at a memorial to the victims outside the store, which has been shuttered since the attack.

Federal executions have been halted as the Justice Department conducts a review of its policies and procedures for capital punishment. The federal hate crimes case is based partly on documents agents found at the accused's Conklin, N.Y., home. In those documents, he laid out his radical, racist worldview and extensive preparation for the attack, some of which he posted online shortly before he started shooting.

He drove more than 320 kilometres from his home in a nearly all-white town near the New York-Pennsylvania border to a predominantly Black part of Buffalo. While there, he wore body armour and used an AR-15-style rifle, live streaming the attack.Police said the 18-year-old surrendered to them as he exited the supermarket.U.S. senators strike initial agreement to address gun violenceA bipartisan group of U.S. senators have announced a framework for potential legislation on gun safety.

Gotta love those on the left. It's horrible if you impose the death penalty on somebody for a violent crime unless, of course, your government and the press tag the perp as a white neo-nazi racist (not mentally disturbed person). Then we're all good with the death penalty.

THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF THIS GUY IN TORONTO.

Why not write 'the man accused of killing ten people'...The racism starts with CBC 'black and white' words.

Oh man USA I sometimes forget that your backwards version of society actually kills ppl and your citizens are for it ! That’s FUCKED!

The USA knows how to deal with human garbage like that. Here, the Yonge Street van guy gets 25 years of free education, lodging and therapy. Canada is candy ass.

He wears the same SS Black Sun Ukranian Azov Nazi's wear. Same ones Katherine McKenna posts. Same Nazis Canada arms and trains. Same ones CBC just calls a 'Batallion'. As they tell stories about racists from the other side of their mouths. These are your guys. So busted CBC.

A killer is sentenced to die for killing innocent people. I fixed your bias headline.

The racism is really coming out in this thread pretty disgusting

Death means the end to his existence and suffering. Let him rot in prison.

Here's the catch. New York doesn't have the death penalty, so that's off the table for the state's case, and the feds have suspended executions, again, after Merrick Garland took office as USAG. This monster getting what he deserves requires defeating the left

Hopefully

I see BLM needs some more money since all the MSM propaganda is talking about is how no one on earth is more oppressed than black people.

whatabout the black guy that killed 7 in Waukesha ? or its not in the Butts instructions you receive ?

Where is your article about Jupiter Paulson or Cameron Hinnant?

Why is it when it is black on black or black on white murders the race is absent in your reporting. DO BETTER

Good.

And where is that article of yours that 3 blacks killed I white kid in that racist KingJames sponsored high school? Lost in transition?

That would let him off too easy

Buffalo supermarket gunman charged with federal hate crimesThe white gunman who killed 10 Black people in a racist attack at a Buffalo supermarket was charged Wednesday with federal hate crimes and could face the death penalty. That's so stupid. You'd be rewarding the guy with death. That's like a get-out-of-jail-free card. Death is a release. He should suffer for life in your toughest jail.
