I looked around and couldn't find any report indicating the manifesto had been released. It sounds like the Sheriff just mentioned that the contents of the manifesto confirmed it was a racially motivated crime.

I actually got it from the Atlantic, in the following article.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/08/jacksonville-killer-wanted-everyone-know-his-message-hate/675155/

He was in possession of an AR-15-style weapon and a handgun; he left manifestos about his hatred toward African Americans; he was wearing a tactical-style uniform, as if going to war. 

From the underlined.  Maybe they didn't release the entire manifesto, as I can't find it either.  In this instance the point still stands, as we have zero idea what is in the TN shooters manifesto.  Of course, The Atlantic had to make this about a broad ongoing plan.

His actions yesterday were not just a hate crime. They were a performance for all the world to see. This is the age of mass shooting as production. And we misunderstand what is happening if we see this as a play with only one act at a time.

Quite the Qanon style conspiracy statement, no?  This type of "journalism" is common for shootings in which the shooter was white and motivated by race.


Quote:Are you suggesting that he said that specifically to create racial tensions? Because Waters happens to be a Republican.

I actually think he said it to calm people and assure them this is the act of a lone individual.  Interesting that left leaning media has used to to claim the exact opposite.


Quote:As for the Tennessee three, I agree that was clearly partisan. The Republicans of Tennessee did a stupid thing, which was made even worse by that one guy who voted against the two black members but not the white member (why did he do that shit? Made them look HORRIBLE), and Biden wanted to highlight that stupid thing the Republicans did.

The agenda there was highlighting a Republican mistake and highlighting a group of young congresspeople who may convert this publicity into national seats from Tennessee in the US congress in the near future (currently both Senators, and 8 of 9 US Representatives from Tennessee are Republicans)

You are absolutely correct, which IMO makes it even scummier.  You're trying to score points of dead children, all the while making no effort to contact the victims families.  Contrast that with an in person visit to Buffalo.

Quote:I can't speak to why Biden didn't invite the victims of the shooting to the Whitehouse. I can't say how common that is for other shootings either. If he has invited the victims of several other shootings to the White house, but not these, then I agree with you that's a slimy move.

If it isn't common practice to invite victims of a shooting to the White House, then this would fall in line with the standard.

Well, he visited Buffalo, Uvalde and Monterey Park in person.  He did send his wife to TN, I guess those dead kids weren't important enough for him to come.  My main point is that these shootings are used to further an agenda.  It's always gun control, as you repeatedly get the bald face lie that guns are the "#1 cause of death for children" which the media consistently repeats without calling it out for the blatant lie that it is.  And if the shooter is a white male then we'll definitely get the evil "white supremacy" angle as well, even though such incidents account for less than 1% of gun related homicides, likely less than .05%.

For those that care, the following site is an excellent resource on actual gun statistics.  Everything is sourced.

I just posted the link to the page on the lies about children and guns as well as school shootings to address my statements above.
