A typical Alt-Righter pumped up on memes, "hate facts," and conspiracy theories about the Jews, has gunned down 13 people, 11 of them Black, and 10 of them dead, in an attack on a supermarket frequented by Blacks. The attacker was subsequently arrested.
As reported by the Buffalo News:
The shooter, identified in court as Payton Gendron, 18, of Broome County, appeared to have left a racist online manifesto and live-streamed the shooting to social media sites.
A screenshot of the video showed a racial epithet used against Black people written in bold lettering on the barrel of the shooter's high-powered assault rifle.
Down the street from the chaotic scene, where dozens of police officers blocked off Jefferson Avenue, Cedric Holloway was inside the Johnnie B. Wiley Pavilion trying to keep teenagers calm.
Holloway, the Wiley Pavilion's director, is also a retired member of the Buffalo Police SWAT team. He recognized the writing and markings on the gun as similar to those of a shooter in New Zealand who killed 51 people at a mosque in 2019.
The video of that shooter, who was a white supremacist, was eerily similar to the Tops Markets shooter in Buffalo, Holloway said, adding that it was difficult but necessary for him to speak with the teenagers at Wiley – all who were Black – about the fact that some people want to hurt them because of their skin color.
“It’s important that they know it’s out there," Holloway said. "You can’t shield them from the real world.”
The neighborhood where the shooting occurred is 79% Black, 13% Asian and 3% white, according to U.S. Census data.
In a manifesto published online, the shooter explained his reasons for committing the massacre, using loads of "hate facts" and memes culled from the Alt-Right talking points. Hate facts, BTW, are facts that have been validated in some way, but nevertheless remain controversial or socially divisive, and can be used to stir up hatred and dysfunction, rather than practical solutions.
Race "hate facts" cited in the shooter's manifesto.
Among the hate facts cited by the killer are the following:
"Blacks are more prone to psychopathy and less capable of empathy than Whites.Blacks are 80% more likely than Whites to neglect their children.Blacks have less moral understanding than Whites.Blacks are more reckless than Whites.Blacks are twice as likely to subject their children to severe violence than Whites.Black women are more than twice as likely as White women to abuse their husbands.Black youth are two and a half times as likely as White youth to have raped someone.Blacks are more likely to kill their spouses than other races"
On its title page, the manifesto has a "Black Sun," a Neo-Nazi symbol commonly used in the Alt-Right (and by some members of the Ukrainian armed forces); and is peppered throughout with typical Alt-Right memes, including a Stone Toss cartoon and Daily Stormer-created "Ben Garrison" anti-Semitic cartoons.
Stone Toss cartoon featured in the killer's manifesto.
The killer was mainly motivated by his views on "racial replacement." Even though the attack was on Blacks, the killer's views, expressed in the manifesto, blame the Jews for pushing a policy of low birth rates for Whites and mass immigration from the Third World through their control of the media. This is EXACTLY the main talking point of Alt-Right groups and publications like TRS, Daily Stormer, Unz Review, and Patriotic Alternative.
In fact, it would be impossible for the killer to have the kind of views expressed in the manifesto (which you can download from Kiwi Farms) without being steeped in Alt-Right content, and he confirms this in his own account of how he was radicalised:

I started browsing 4chan in May 2020 after extreme boredom, remember this was during the outbreak of covid. I would normally browse /k/ because I’m a gun nut and /out/ because I love the outdoors and I eventually wound up on /pol/. There I learned through infographics, shitposts, and memes that the White race is dying out, that blacks are disproportionately killing Whites, that the average black takes $700,000 from tax-payers in their lifetime, and that the Jews and the elite were behind this. From there, I also found other sites, like worldtruthvideos.website, dailyarchives.org, and dailystormer.cn where through data and exposure to real information I learned the truth. We are doomed by low birth rates and high rates of immigration. I never even saw this information until I found these sites...
The manifesto also includes this rather cringe cartoon meme of what appears to be Richard Spencer from a few years ago:
Spencer, who has long since turned his back on the Alt-Right, however was quick to distance himself from the Alt-Right and the internet "free for all" culture in which Alt-Right memes thrive, tweeting support for a draconian clamp down on internet freedom. Maybe that has been the plan all along.
