    Just tragic! The killer is dead so he can't be prosecuted. I'm reminded of Dylan Roof:

    And it seems racially motivated

    might be-might not be. Right now it appears to have been racially motivated but we see so many cases where the first assessment was wrong

    They found 1! This is a most grotesque discovery! In all seriousness, these individuals didn't deserve to be gunned down by a racist, but at least the culprit was also killed and we don't have to host him in a jail cell with free meals and a cot.

    sad, so many violent people in this world

    https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...d-jacksonville-store-shooting-mayor-102589687

    "JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A masked white man fatally shot three Black people inside a Jacksonville, Florida, Dollar General store in a predominately African-American neighborhood on Saturday, in an attack where he used a gun painted with a swastika, officials said. The shooter, who had also posted racist writings, then killed himself."

    sounds like he was checking out the historically black Christian University first, must have decided on an easier target due to security

    https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...d-jacksonville-store-shooting-mayor-102589687

    "In a statement, the university said that shortly before the shooting, one of its security officers saw the man near the school's library and asked him to identify himself. When he refused, he was asked to leave. The man returned to his car."

    Seems like there's some validity to the idea that beefed up security allows people to be protected. But the issue as illustrated by this case is that for every such beefed up area, there's a not-as-beefed up area that the racist can use to carry out their attack.

    agree, sadly though carrying a gun comes with risks too if police see you as a "suspect", so what to do.... concealed carry should be a right, not a thing you have to ask permission for, as your gun being visible can be seen as a threat

    Concealed carry laws do not change the nature of prohibited persons.

    Permitless concealed carry in Florida does not allow otherwise prohibited persons to own possess or carry guns.

    Your information is not accurate

    of course most convicted felons are not permitted to own a firearm, much less carry one around

    but no training is needed for anybody else,
    buy a gun, put it in your pocket, walk down the street...perfectly legal as of july 1st

    Now one of 27 other states doing the same thing and the sky still has not fallen.

    How dare governors respect the Constitution

    So, to go one step further given the gun with painted with a swastika, he was a neo nazi proponent.

    Ok, a couple of things here. I'm not using the swastika as absolute proof of this guy's racism, I'll use his writings to determine that. The second thing is, while we haven't seen his writings, law enforcement is describing what was written and they did it in less than a day. What happened to the Nashville manifesto?

    actually the federal government does. nothing Florida can do, will override the Gun Control act of 1968 (18 USC 922) which prohibits felons, those adjudicated mentally incompetent, those dishonorably discharged, fugitives, those under indictment, drug addicts, and domestic violence miscreants etc from possessing firearms

    And that makes the officials in the Biden Administration very happy. It will given them six more months to claim the false narrative that the greatest threat in this country comes from conservative White males.

    Do you remember when the crazy transsexual person killed a bunch of children and teachers? We have yet to HIS writings, and we never will. Perhaps I should have used the pronoun IT'S. That is more appropriate for that low life.

    I tell you, it's all a conspiracy to keep poor, old, straight whitey down.
