, an attorney for the family of an 86-year-old grandmother who was killed is calling for those who radicalize white supremacists to be held accountable., attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the family of Ruth Whitfield, said,"Yesterday, we witnessed the deadliest mass shooting of 2022, perpetrated by a self-proclaimed white supremacist who set out to do one thing: kill Black people. … We are thoroughly investigating the shooting and the events leading up to it.
Police say Payton Gendron, 18, traveled about 200 miles from his home in Conklin, N.Y., to Buffalo to commit the attack, for which he was heavily armed and wearing tactical gear. He was taken into custody and has been charged with first-degree murder, in what officials are calling a hate crime and a case of racially motivated violent extremism. Gendron has pleaded not guilty.
Also on"CBS Mornings," Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said that the initial investigation indicates that the shooting was a premeditated attack."[He] wanted to kill as many Black people as possible., retired Buffalo police lieutenant, he would have been more successful in that effort. If not for the quick response of the Buffalo Police Department, he certainly would have killed more people in this immediate area.
One of the ten people killed was an 86-year-old grandmother, Ruth Whitfield, who had stopped at the Tops supermarket after visiting her husband at a nearby nursing home, when she was murdered. Garnell Whitfield, a retired commissioner of the Buffalo Fire Department, told"CBS Mornings,""My parents were married for 67, 68 years. We were wonderfully blessed to have them all of this time. My father had taken ill and had been in this nursing home for the last eight years.

Tired of finger pointing. There are just as many outspoken hateful blacks as there are whites. It is not one type of person. They are in Congress, the media, lobbyists& so on. This started long before a Tucker Carlson. If you need to finger-point, intolerance, Obama reignited.

How about the dispatcher that hung up on the store manager who called 911 for “whispering”?
