If a Han Chinese killed 10 Uyghurs or Tibetans in China, the whole hell will break loose in the west while killing and persecuting minorities are just a norm, a daily socially accepted practice in US.

No comparison. This is a terrorist act because of a white racist ideology. Now imagine the US federal government forced around 25% of the whites in New York to "reeducation" prison camps because of this terrorism! That would be gross abuse and persecution, and the Chinese government is doing it to the Uighurs, destroying the lives of millions who are too frightened to say it in China. This borders on genocide. In contrast, in America a white supremacist extremist is brought before a black judge in court.

The Buffalo mass shooting comes amid rise in racial violence in US​

Hate-based crime has been getting worse in recent years, largely cultivated in the cauldron of darkest reaches of the internet

The story is, by now, nauseatingly familiar. From Charleston to El Paso, from Pittsburgh to San Diego, and from Christchurch, New Zealand, to the latest scene of horror in Buffalo, New York, each of these mass shootings is stitched with one common thread: white supremacy.
As investigators begin to piece together the details of Saturday’s massacre at the Tops Friendly Market that killed 10, the motivation of the murderer already seems in little doubt.

The perpetrator appears to be a radicalized, lone white gunman, filled with racial hatred fueled by extremist theory widely available on the internet, who descended on a predominantly Black community in Buffalo, New York, heavily armed and determined to kill as many people as he could.

The suspect, Payton Gendron, 18, is said to have etched a racial insult onto the barrel of his assault rifle before he live streamed himself gunning down grocery shoppers, supermarket staff and a security guard.
Authorities said he also posted a lengthy “manifesto” to social media, with frequent references to a racist “white replacement” theory as justification for what they said was a “hate crime and racially motivated violent extremism”.

Joe Biden, scores of American politicians, and community and civil rights leaders, including the Rev Al Sharpton, were quick to express their outrage, calling for more to be done to tackle the rise in hate-based crime in the US.

But it’s a problem that has been getting worse in recent years, largely cultivated in the cauldron of the darkest reaches of the internet and eagerly seized upon by those all too willing to convert the skewed ideology into violence.

The FBI reported last year that hate crimes in the US had risen to the highest level in 12 years, triggered largely by a surge in assaults on Black and Asian Americans. And while mass murders such as those in Buffalo and elsewhere understandably garner the most attention, many thousands of other violent hate-based attacks take place each year, leading attorney general Merrick Garland to make domestic terrorism and racially-based hate crimes “a top priority” for the justice department.

“Hate and racism have no place in America,” Derrick Johnson, president of the national association for the advancement of colored people (NAACP) said in a statement following the Buffalo attack.
“We are shattered, extremely angered and praying for the victims’ families and loved ones, as well as the entire community”.

The parallels of Buffalo are significant not only to the August 2019 murder of 21 people at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, but also to countless other shootings involving a radicalized, solitary attacker.
In El Paso, the gunman, a 21-year-old white male, also posted a document online, to extremist online message board 8chan, which stated the attack in the border town was “a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas”.

Four years earlier, an attack on a Black community church by a self-confessed white supremacist in Charleston, South Carolina, left nine dead.

In October 2018 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a white man shouted “All Jews must die” as he burst into the Tree of Life synagogue and shot dead 11 worshippers and wounded six others. Police later found anti-Semitic social media posts from the killer.

And a similar shooting occurred at a synagogue in San Diego, California, in April 2019, when one person died and several others were wounded by a 19-year-old who also posted messages of racial hatred to 8chan.
The San Diego killer claimed he was motivated by attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, a month earlier in which a white supremacist murdered 51 Muslims. Investigators there quickly established the killer had been radicalized online, had posted his own manifesto of hate and live streamed the killings.

To Sharpton, the veteran civil rights activist and television host, the latest attack in Buffalo is an urgent call to action.

“President Biden should have a White House meeting of Black, Jewish, and Asian leaders to underscore the federal government’s escalating efforts against hate crimes,” he said in a tweet.
“These hate crimes need to be met with a united front against hate-based violence.”

The mayor of Buffalo, meanwhile, said on Sunday he believed the murders in his city will prove “a turning point”.

“I would like to see sensible gun control. I would like to see ending hate speech on the internet, on social media. It is not free speech. It is not the American way,” Byron Brown said on NBC’s Meet the Press.

“We are not a nation of haters. We are not a nation of hate. We need to send the message that there is no place on the internet for hate speech, for hate indoctrination, for spreading hate manifestos.

“I will be a stronger voice for that. I believe that what happened in Buffalo, New York, yesterday is going to be a turning point. I think it’s going to be different after this, in terms of the energy and the activity that we see”.

The kid was an atheist, quit frothing at the mouth.

You are free to leave anytime you want.


I think a mass shooting is only considered a terrorist attack if he affiliated himself with a terror outfit, which in this case the shooter did not. He was acting alone, he shot up a supermarket largely populated by African Americans so one can make out his motives from there

Not considered terrorist attack if he is white. White folks can't be trusted with guns.

No comparison. This is a terrorist act because of a white racist ideology. Now imagine the US federal government forced around 25% of the whites in New York to "reeducation" prison camps because of this terrorism! That would be gross abuse and persecution, and the Chinese government is doing it to the Uighurs, destroying the lives of millions who are too frightened to say it in China. This borders on genocide. In contrast, in America a white supremacist extremist is brought before a black judge in court.

Looking at the number of bombings and murders perhaps the federal government should force around 25% of the whites in New York to "reeducation" prison camps.

Harris says U.S. 'seeing an epidemic of hate' after mass shooting in Buffalo​

WASHINGTON, May 15 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said the United States was seeing "an epidemic of hate" after an 18-year-old white gunman shot 10 people to death on Saturday at a grocery store in a Black neighborhood of upstate New York.

"Law enforcement is proceeding with its investigation, but what is clear is that we are seeing an epidemic of hate across our country that has been evidenced by acts of violence and intolerance," Harris said in a statement on Sunday.

"Racially-motivated hate crimes or acts of violent extremism are harms against all of us," she added.

Imagine is he operative word, they do imagine too much.

Ya, requires a lot of imagination for what is happening to a minority in China to happen in America. We never know it can happen, however unlikely, which is why we have to be vigilant for the sake of freedom. Unfortunately, the nightmare is real for Uighurs.

Not even including the cultural and religious persecution.

Assuming guilt by association is racism as well and a crime against humanity. It can happen when racists rule the government.

The real genocide happened in Australia, you genocided the local population and are now happily living on a stolen land soaked with locals blood, we all know this fact very well.

Was this terrorist Australian or has family in Australia?

We got hundreds of video debunking those lies, but Australia's genocide against the local native people is a matter of fact which is not disputable.

Payton Gendron threatened school shooting before Buffalo attack

State police called to high school in 2021 over incident

www.independent.co.uk

New evidence is adding further context to the white supremacist mass shooting that killed 10 people in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday.

Payton Gendron, 18, who has been charged with murder over the attack, had previously threatened to shoot up his high school and was taken into custody for a mental health evaluation, an anonymous law enforcement source told The Associated Press.

In 2021, the then-17-year-old talked about committing a shooting at Susquehanna Valley Central High School in Broome County, New York.


The threats to the school came in comments to fellow students, The Buffalo News reported on Saturday, citing unnamed government sources.

“A school official reported that this very troubled young man had made statements indicating that he wanted to do a shooting, either at a graduation ceremony, or sometime after,” the official said.

This prompted school officials to call New York state troopers, who took Mr Gendron into custody under the state’s mental health law for evaluation.

He was in treatment for about a day and a half before being released, Buffalo police commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said during a press conference on Sunday, though he did not describe the extent or findings of the treatment.

The school threats are the latest piece of evidence suggesting Mr Gendron was enamoured with violence.

They join a body of evidence suggesting Mr Gendron was radicalised online and driven by white supremacist hatred.

“The evidence that we have uncovered so far makes no mistake that this is an absolutely racist hate crime,” Mr Gramaglia said during the press conference. “This is someone who has hate in their heart, soul and mind.”

Officials have already executed a search warrant on Mr Gendron’s car, and are in the process of obtaining more to search his home and social media accounts.

The real genocide happened in Australia

No comparison with past. Australia budgets 15-20 billion dollars annually on Indigenous communities. No comparison with China's persecution against culture and religion today. I have seen women here in full veil covering their face walking in markets.
