(Jewish Group) The Buffalo shooter targeted Black people. His screed also attacks Jews. Here's what
The Buffalo shooter targeted Black people. His screed also attacks Jews. Heres what it says.
When an 18-year-old gunman entered a supermarket in Buffalo and opened fire Saturday, killing 10 people, he was targeting Black people. In the diatribe he published to explain his motivations, though, he focuses more on another group: Jews.
In a Q&A in which he both poses and answers the questions, the suspect, Payton S. Grendon, acknowledges his bigotry. Are you a white supremacist? Yes, I would call myself a white supremacist, he writes. Are you racist? Yes.
But when he asks himself, Are you an anti-semite? the answer is in bold, capital letters, with exclamation points: YES!! He adds: I wish all JEWS to HELL! Go back to hell where you came from DEMON!
The rambling, 180-page screed mentions Jews more than 100 times. Its main body is split into sections by demographic group. The first, on Black people, contains 11 pages of racist falsehoods. The next, on Jews, stretches to 30 pages, filled with rantings, infographics, memes, and pseudoscience. Additional sections on East Asian, Arab, and white people are less than one page each.
