Officials say that Peyton Genderon,
a white 18 year old man was wearing body armor and military style clothing
when he pulled up yesterday at the Tops Friendly Market and began shooting.
He picked that spot specifically for its demographics according to officials.
They say he drove from more than 200 miles away to carry out the attack
in an area that had a significant black population.
>> 10 people were killed and 2 others injured after an 18 year old racially
motivated mass shooter opened fire at a supermarket In Buffalo, New York.
Now the total number of people shot was 13 and 11 of those 13 people were black.
And I say that it was a racist shooter because after he was
identified there was news of his so called manifesto and
I read all 180 pages and it's not vague, it doesn't hint at racism.
The manifesto makes it abundantly clear that this 18 year old shooter
specifically targeted a supermarket 200 miles away knowing full well
that this was a predominantly black area and
opened fire with the specific purpose of shooting and killing black individuals.
In fact, he streamed this horrific and
tragic shooting on Twitch before Twitch took it down.
And in the video, you can see him pointing the gun at a white man
who's like cowering down in fear.
He apologizes to that man and then continues the massacre.
So he was very clearly targeting black people.
His manifesto makes it clear that that was his intent and we have a lot more details
to get to including the weapon he used and how he illegally modified it.
But, Jenk, I wanted to give you a chance to jump in.
>> Yeah, so we have to clarify things that are super obvious because everything is
debated in America and everything is turned into lies.
So, the guy writes 180 page manifesto about racism and
count down to the right wing saying, no, he wasn't racist.
No, it's not a big deal.
Yes, everyone should have these kinda weapons.
Yes, that's called freedom.
Yes, the idea of great replacement theory is also freedom and that is, and
no, it's not racist.
No, the great replacement theory which is what he believed in is that white people
are going to be replaced by non white people.
It is by definition racist.
So by the way, if that were to quote unquote happen,
what would be the harm if everyone is equal?
No, they think white people are superior and
from time to time should murder black people.
And that's what happened in Buffalo.
>> Not time to time, I mean, his ideology along with the ideology of other white
supremacists who subscribed to the conspiracy theory of white replacement.
They want to essentially purge the country of all non whites, deport people,
murder people, whatever it takes to essentially establish a white ethnostate.
And they're very transparent and clear about that.
And if you think that this is some crazy conspiracy theory in the dark corners of
the Internet, you would be mistaken, because we have prominent Republican
politicians who spew this nonsense garbage.
And we have prominent cable show hosts like Tucker Carlson who do the same.
We'll get to him later in the show.
But first a few more details about what happened during the shooting.
There was one hero in that supermarket, a security,
an ex-cop and also a security guard who was armed.
He tried to stop the shooter, but the shooter was wearing tactical gear and
body armor, so it looked like a good person, good guy with a gun just
wasn't enough to stop this heinous act of violence, extreme violence.
So I wanna go to this next video that gives you more on what
happened with the security guard.
Let's watch.
>> Among those killed, 86 year old Ruth Whitfield,
described by her son as a mother to the motherless.
Pearl Young, age 77, who ran a food pantry for 25 years.
And Aaron Salter Jr, a retired police officer and longtime supermarket
security guard called a hero for trying to take down the assailant.
10 of the 13 people shot were black.
>> This individual came here with the expressed purpose
of taking as many black lives as he possibly could.
The suspect, Peyton Genderon, was arraigned hours after the shooting.
He pleaded not guilty to first degree murder, officials say the alleged
gunman drove to Buffalo from his home town 200 miles away and
livestreamed the attack online.
Eyewitnesses say they watched him shoot four people outside the store,
then continued the attack inside.
>> I heard at least 20 shots in store.
>> He then put a gun to his neck but
officials say police officers convinced him to drop it.
Police officers convinced him to drop it, which good, I would much
rather him see his day in court than have the cops do extrajudicial killings.
But notice the difference between how cops tend to treat white mass
shooters versus unarmed black individuals around the country.
But that's beside the point, I guess.
I just wanted to honor Aaron assaulter for having the courage to try
to save people's lives and defend people's lives as this mass
shooter was carrying out this terrible crime, this terrible act.
He was using a Bushmaster XM-15 rifle.
He purchased it legally.
The shooter did, the shooter purchased it legally.
But he made illegal modifications to the weapon so
it would have a high capacity magazine capability.
I should also note that he legally purchased that gun after,
after his school had called state troopers on him
because he had threatened to do a murder suicide.
This was a year prior to the shooting.
So, authorities apparently showed up to the scene,
he went through mental evaluations.
Eventually they left it alone, didn't think he posed any type of threat.
And as you can imagine soon after that within a year he bought the weapon that he
would then use in this mass shooting.
And he also posted his manifesto online a few days
prior to carrying out this mass shooting.
And it really makes you wonder, do we have anyone looking into these issues?
I mean, you hear about all this indiscriminate spying into American people
who haven't done anything wrong.
There are all these giant red flags, Jenk, including the school calling the cops
on him because he was threatening a murder suicide.
But he's able to legally purchase a gun.
He's able to post his disgusting racist manifesto where he justifies killing
children as well by the way.
No one notices it, no one cares.
Is the FBI not on these message boards, whether it's 4chan or Reddit?
What are they doing?
>> No but let's be very clear about this.
Nobody else will talk about this because they find it deeply impolite against
their business interest, etc, to criticize the right wing in factual ways.
The right wing protected this shooter in every possible way before the shooting.
So in other countries, when they find out that this guy had all ready been talked to
by the police about how he had publicly announced that he was gonna murder people.
And then we allowed him to buy any kind of weapons he wants, they couldn't,
they won't believe it, they can't believe it.
What kind of a government doesn't protect its own citizens?
Well, you have to understand is,
our right wing here in America celebrates this kind of stuff.
So they're like, you cannot touch his weapons.
Even if he says he's going to murder you, you cannot touch his weapons.
His weapons in America are holy, your children,
your family members are not, they're not at all important.
Their lives are not at all important to the right wing at all.
But that weapon, they pray to it.
So we literally could not stop that guy from buying
a weapon because of the right wing.
And that's a fact and everybody knows that.
In fact the right wing celebrated that, in fact, they'll watch this video and
go, can you believe these guys are using this as an excuse just because those
weapons are used to do massacre after massacre after massacre.
A lot of which are purposely racial.
There's a lot more where this came from, El paso, Texas, let alone in other
countries like Christchurch, New Zealand, let alone the shooting at the temple in
Pittsburgh in 2018 which is also about the great risk placement theory.
The right wing goes, hey, that's our freedom.
Well, how about those people at the temple, did they have freedom to live?
How about those people in Buffalo that died.
The 11 people that were shot at, 13 people that were shot at, 10 that died.
Did they have freedom?
No, according to right wing, they have no freedom at all, only the weapons does.
But it's not just the weapons when he publishes a manifesto that Anna talked
about three days, a couple of days before the shooting, online,
there's nothing we can do.
The right wing says, freedom of speech, freedom to murder your children and
talk about it and brag about it.
And you are not allowed to touch that poor angel.
Guys, if the authorities in America tried to stop that shooter the day
before he did the shooting, the right wing would howl in this country and
they would declare a freedom of speech martyr.
Poor, poor man in Buffalo, just because he wanted to murder black babies.
[SOUND] They're taking his freedom of speech away, they're taking his guns away,
outrageous they would say.
So that is why we have nonstop massacres and ones that are deeply racial in this
country because the right wing protects them.
>> The right wing protects them and I do think that there needs to be a real
discussion in regard to how the media should cover these stories.
Because I think that most media with the exception of extreme right wing outlets,
they have the best intentions in that they do their best to kind of hide
the manifesto to hide.
But when you do that, it opens up an opportunity for
the right wingers who want to provide cover to do just that.
And basically push out all these narratives that kind of muck up with
the real motives were.
And there is no mistaking what his motives were.
He made sure that he was very clear in his manifesto
specifically mentioned that he does not have a mental illness,
specifically talked about how he thinks that the,
replacement of white people in America is orchestrated by Jewish people.
So it was anti-Semitic, it was anti-black and it was full of paranoia and
it's just a lot of honestly the garbage that we hear from,
Tucker Carlson, during his primetime Fox News show.
And so, I wanna get to the manifesto now because I think it's worth talking
about it.
So everyone's clear about what the motives were.
So when you come across, Glenn Greenwald, exactly what he's doing and
trying to provide cover for white supremacist who just murdered 10
people and injured 3 others in this mass shooting.
>> I just wanna say two last things before you go to that, one is, no, the thing
that you mentioned as an aside that he's still alive, the cops didn't shoot him.
A lot of our members are writing in and I totally agree with them.
It's we just showed us a story of a Latina grandmother, 75 years old,
who has dementia, her family called in the cops and the cops came in,
she's away from them, might or might not have a knife and
they just shot her dead because she would pose a threat.
Latinos, black people, no matter how young they are, 12 year old Tamir Rice,
no matter how old they are, 75 year old Latina that we cover the other day,
they get shot and almost always instantly.
But you go murder 10 people, it's a black part of town and a white guy did it.
Whoa, let's be super gentle and wrap them in bubble wrap.
I don't think they should have shot him.
But can you also please stop shooting black people if you're cops,
how about trying to protect all of us.
I know you've sworn to the right wing that you will never protect us from their guns
and from their hatred.
Can you then stop murdering our citizens along the way.
So which leads me to the last point, Roberta Drury,
was one of the victims here.
And she was not from buffalo, she came in from out of town because her brother was
getting a bone marrow transplant.
And she went to Tops to cook a special dinner that night for her brother and
her family.
And she was murdered that day.
And I want you to keep her in mind as you will now see for weeks on end,
the right wing beginning to defend, not necessarily the killer, although sometimes
they will, but his rights to do the things that he did, his right to be racist.
His right to say over the top, horrible things about other races,
his right to be concerned about being replaced, his right to have those
deadly weapons so he can kill lots of black people at the same time.
And yes, Jews to they always come back to,
it's the Jews that are spearheading the replacement of white people in America.
And remember that deep anti-semitism.
And remember that hatred as you see that right wing go to protect him now after
the fact.
