Talk about bad timing.
As springtime blooms and summer looms, as everyone tries to keep their brains from overheating after two-plus years of COVID theatrics, race riots, alleged insurrections, an emergent Third World War, and hundred-dollar hamburgers, the last thing we needed was another one of those once-in-a-blue-moon white-supremacist racial massacres.
Then again, depending on how conspiratorially minded you are, maybe this was perfect timing.
Ten dead bodies in a dingy, dismal, rundown black ghetto in Buffalo, New York. As I write this, 11 of the 13 shooting victims are confirmed to be black. The white gunman, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, livestreamed the massacre via a camera he’d mounted onto his helmet. Here’s a shooter’s-eye view of Gendron vaporizing a woman’s skull in the parking lot outside Top’s supermarket. Here’s a freeze-frame of a dead cashier.
Along the barrel of his rifle, Gendron had written — in white capital letters — things such as “NIGGER,” “HERE’S YOUR REPARATIONS,” the numeral “14,” and the misspelled name of Virginia Sorenson, one of the “Dancing Grannies” who was killed during the Waukesha Christmas Parade massacre last November. Roughly two days before the massacre, he’d posted a 180-page manifesto explaining why he felt it was necessary to slaughter a group of random blacks.
With all due respect to its very fine people, Buffalo is one of those places where you need to be reminded of its existence. It’s always struck me as a dismal little city with perhaps the worst winters in the country. Since my brain contains a Rolodex of racially-motivated hate crimes that I can access at will, the last instance of racial violence I recall from Buffalo was the 2009 beating of a 19-year-old white man by a trio of black teens who’d spotted him walking through the city’s far East Side with his black girlfriend. The beating left the victim, Brian Milligan, Jr., with bleeding on the brain and his jaw wired shut for nearly nine weeks.
According to Gendron’s manifesto, he purposely chose zip code 14208 in Buffalo because it “has the highest black percentage that is close enough to where I live.” Until his arrest on Saturday, Gendron lived with his parents in Conklin, New York, about 220 miles southeast of Buffalo. Through his research, he’d determined that Top’s supermarket on Jefferson Avenue in Buffalo “has 1 or 2 armed security guards with full size glocks [sic]” and that “IIIA armor will stop their ammunition.” He’d also used “Google and independent study” to determine that “4:00 PM on Friday is the most populated time at Top’s.”
So he was looking for the blackest area he could find and the best possible time to slaughter as many free-roaming blacks as he could pick off before either being killed or captured.
Yeah, this is not good.
Why he chose to arrive at Top’s at 2:30 PM on Saturday rather than 4 PM on Friday is unclear. Perhaps Mom and Dad wouldn’t let him borrow the car until Saturday morning.
There was only one security guard at Top’s on Saturday afternoon: a black man named Aaron Salter, Jr. He shot at Gendron, but the bullet did not pierce the white teen’s body armor. Gendron shot and killed Salter, though.
Gendron’s 180-page manifesto is a hodgepodge of personal testimonials, memes, and plagiarized material, much of it lifted word-for-word from his hero Brenton Tarrant’s The Great Replacement. If the name “Brenton Tarrant” doesn’t ring a bell, he’s the guy who in 2019 livestreamed his own massacre of 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Much of Gendron’s manifesto reads like a scrapbook of a teenage kid who became “radicalized” after being exposed to far-Right material online. It’s a cornucopia of references to Sam Hyde, the Daily Stormer, Stonetoss, the Happy Merchant, and the (((triple parentheses))). Perhaps every single Star-of-David meme regarding media ownership ever created is all gathered together in one convenient PDF. There are the requisite stats about black crime and black IQ. There are ample quotes from the Talmud and graphs about Ashkenazi haplogroups.
And, in the same way that much of Norwegian spree killer Anders Behring Brievik’s 1,518-page manifesto took odd diversions into fruity fashion and health tips for aspirant Crusaders, more than half of Gendron’s 180-page manifesto deals with what he calls the “gear queer” side of things: It’s an exhaustive cataloging of all the firearms, headgear, and clothing a wannabe young white aspirant male racial mass murderer should use to commit the perfect racial mass murder.
I have a hunch that passages such as this won’t go over too well in the media:
The Jews are responsible for many problems that we in the western world face today. They will stop at nothing to ensure that they have full control over the goyim. The most common way the Jew does this is by weakening us with their propaganda. Since they mostly own mainstream media, this is easy. They will create infighting between our people and races so we are fighting each other rather than them. For example, currently the Jews are spreading ideas such as Critical Race Theory and white shame/guilt to brainwash Whites into hating themselves and their people. For our self-preservation, the Jews must be removed from our Western civilizations, in any way possible.
From every imaginable angle, this is worse than George Floyd’s death, which occurred almost exactly two years ago and led to months of nationwide rioting. There is no evidence that racial animus had anything to do with Floyd’s extremely convenient martyrdom.
You can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here.
But in this case, the evidence is overwhelming. I don’t know or care whether this was some sort of federal operation or merely another case of a lonely kid who claims to have been radicalized online. With any event of this sort, whether it’s 9/11 or 1/6, I find it much more useful to realize that no matter whether or not the feds planned or enabled this massacre, there is no doubt that they will exploit it. Legislation will be drafted to ban the mere expression of every last idea contained in Gendron’s manifesto, despite the fact that most of the material has nothing to do with direct calls for violence. This has been part of the propaganda war for generations now — because a violent person expressed a certain idea, forever shackle that idea to his act of violence and call for such ideas to be banned because, well, this guy held that idea and then got violent, so why are you complaining if you have nothing to hide, hmm?
Although summertime is official Riot Season, I don’t think the Buffalo Supermarket Race Massacre will lead to widespread rioting. With 2020’s Summer of Floyd and its focus on an imaginary epidemic of police violence against blacks, at least people could congregate to burn down police precincts and tear down statues; much of the mayhem in 2020 was aimed at the “system,” and many of the rioters were white.
But this was just some average white 18-year-old who came gunning for blacks. I sense that the payback for this massacre is more likely to resemble the aforementioned 2009 beating of Buffalo’s Brian Milligan, Jr., the 19-year-old white kid whose only crime was to court one of the city’s black girls. I have this queasy sense that this summer will bring an increased wave of black-on-white revenge beatings and murders along the lines of 2013’s “This is for Trayvon!” attacks.
If there is to be retaliatory violence for the Buffalo massacre this summer, I don’t think it will be against the “system.” It will be specifically against white people. This time it will be personal.

I do not believe there will be much of a reaction to this because the entire anti-white (Rainbow) coalition fears the Saxon awakening this time around. They know they ran the table the last two years when they took Trump, pensions, freedoms and peace of mind from white people.
But what whites can do just in case is what we have been doing since before WWII: withdraw from the cities and regroup as a semi-nomadic suburban people, which is finally paying dividends because diversity is collapsing in the footprint of the ghetto, while whites are stabilizing in bedroom communities.
I never understood why any nationalist laments the downfall of our sterile cities. We have the worst elements in society contained within American Bantustans despite all of the desegregation/integration, affirmative action, wealth transfer and violence. What more could you ask for?
The Left is not afraid of the “Saxon” at all. If anything, the Saxon is an awkward pussy who can be played like a violin.
The manifesto of 18-year-old Peyton Gendron is brilliant and needs to be seen
at http://www.kevinmacdonald.net/spree-killer-manifesto.pdf.
No doubt it will soon be deleted. Print it. A precocious document.
If his manifesto is at all brilliant, it’s all the worse. Perhaps it could have done some good if he would have live-streamed a dramatic suicide, say, seppukku or setting himself on fire. Even then, it would have initially just been a punchline for Jimmy Kimmel (“hey, hope this starts a trend! White racists, kill yourselves!”[applause, laughter]). He lacked fortitude. Each black life he took will lead to white death, dispossession, etc.
Part of me wonders “how did the left pull this off?”
Are you trolling? His manifesto is exactly what you would expect from a mediocte 18 year old kid — rubbish.
I won’t be surprised if there are more of these types of attacks. For a pretty long time now, the State has been telling White people they are evil, they have openly discriminated against them in school admissions, hiring and promotion as well as disparaging their ancestors. Most people aren’t going to accept this, and some of those people will react violently. Blacks will continue to do what they have always done, attack vulnerable Whites and use whatever excuse is handy, George Floyd, or this or the hundreds of other excuses they all keep stored in their back pockets. Whether anything changes after this isn’t predetermined. After McViegh’s bombing in Oklahoma, the Feds eased up on their anti-Pale campaign and we had a long period of relative peace from Whitey. We’ll see.
Well, there’s usually a wake of copy cat attacks every time something like this happens. So I wouldn’t be surprised.
There is no connection between these mass killings and anti-White rhetoric. These incidents would be far more common if there were. However, the media will continue to promote the idea that White males are particularly prone to this behavior, and they do have enough evidence to make that case.
That’s highly dubious on both a priori and emprical grounds: We might expect constant insults, disparagement, attacks on identity, ancestry etc. to be precisely among the most potent means of eliciting violent responses.
And was this sort of increasingly common event ever recorded prior to the Civil Rights era? Sure, there were organized responses like the Tulsa Riot and those of the KKK, but can you cite a single lone-wolf mass casualty event that was explicitly racial in motive from pre-’65?
Events like this would be much more common if the trigger is simply anti-White rhetoric. Only a small number of these massacres are politically or racially motivated.
Grisly, awful stuff. I didn’t need to see those photos before lunch, but people ought be aware of what really happens.
Last year this kid threatened to shoot up his school and had a mental health evaluation, but they did not put him on a ‘no firearms’ list, which differs from state to state. It’s becoming cliché how the left media writes this up differently from the Waukesha mass murder and the Brooklyn subway shooter (who aspired to kill as many, though missed). In those cases it was mental health and gun control as the keywords, not racial violence. As sad as this Buffalo mass shooting is, has it altered the lopsided stats of violence by blacks on whites? Anyhow, an 18 year old with a history of making threats to shoot up a school shouldn’t have a gun.
And responding to a comment above, suggesting whites go to the suburbs. This kid was from the suburbs, and the left will want to intrusively poke its nose into the mainstream there smelling for Nazis in your exhaust, internet surveillance for fascists, and aggressive prostate exams for detect KKKancer.
Well, I guess it’s going to be another entire hot summer sitting at home in my tiny decent corner of Southern California. I can’t even take the cross-town commuter train to get to the airport and get out of here, due to its path directly through South-Central L.A., and as an ‘older White lady’ who still dresses decently (i.e., I must be rich), I would be a sitting duck. Yet another version of ‘Lockdown’ in America.
Sometimes there really are instances where demons influence people and tell them to kill. Looking in this guy’s eyes reveals the same terrified void as Adam Lanza and Ethan Crumbley and many other mass shooters who were in a state of psychotic evil possession. Certainly, because every sane person wants to see the race war avoided and racial conflict to decrease. Since Manson, what is it with these Johnny-come-lately ex-racial leftists trying to start the racial apocalypse? I resent it. This needs to be a death penalty case. Not because I believe that just death is all that bad of a punishment but because there are certain people who are injurious to society kept around.
Wow, as I’m thinking through this perspective, maybe the death penalty wouldn’t work for a demon. The electric chair might recharge the demon’s batteries. Lethal injection would be like vitamins.
Agreed. White advocates cannot stand for justice and order if they condone such random acts of terrorism. Especially if they are as injurious to our cause as this guy. Throwing the movement under the bus like this amounts to treason, and I remember a particular phrase by Mr. Codreanu about what to do with traitors.
“Sometimes there really are instances where demons influence people and tell them to kill.”
Oh, boy, here comes the Demon Squad to shed some medieval light on matters. If there “really are” demons, please show some proof. You know—any kind of evidence. Pictures, video…anything. Thanks!
They’re shy. Like Bigfoot and white supremacists.
The people he justifiably hates and whose lies and chicanery manufactured him, weren’t in that store.
They’re dancing a joyful jig on the graves of those victims, looking forward to victimizing them all over again toward their usual self-serving, race-profiteering ends.
With Reverend Al leading the conga line.
According to Gendron, Reverend Al would just be a tool of the Jews.
But his manifesto distinguishes between “hard” and “soft” targets, and he explains why he chose “soft” targets:
“Hard targets are people with strong political powers, such as president’s, prime ministers, judge’s, media producers, and military leaders. Soft targets include the everyday man, with low, weak political power. To cleanse an area, both must be removed, one cannot only attack the blacks of Buffalo and expect the zog-bot government to fall as well, just as one cannot attack the zog-bot government and expect the blacks to fall. Both have to be addressed, I am simply attacking one at a time.”
I’d amend that to “Reverend Al would just be a tool.”
He couldn’t have made a worse decision…
Now hes going to be raped by black inmates for 30 years. This doesnt make sense to me.
He’ll be a protected/respected AB, no?
Seen a lot of TV movies, have you? https://jimgoad.net/nicest.html
This whole event is a tragedy: for the innocent people killed, for the family of the shooter, for the shooter himself and for the prospects of white people reclaiming the exclusive territory which they require to prosper. As Mr Shift states above, those responsible for the race-mixing Kalergi agenda were nowhere near that store and yet they are the ones who will repay us a hundred-fold.
There is little doubt that in a healthy society this young man would not have come to the self-destructive, deluded and arguably evil decision which he did. Still, it behoves those with older and cooler heads to always emphasize the great wrong done by such acts. There is no need to publicize the names, the faces nor the manifestoes of such criminals.
“I have this queasy sense that this summer will bring an increased wave of black-on-white revenge beatings and murders along the lines of 2013’s “This is for Trayvon!” attacks.”
That’s guaranteed.
More fallout: The Daily Stormer was taken offline by Chinese authorities because they were namechecked in Gendron’s manifesto.
One day one of these love-spurned angry nutters will cite CC in his manifesto ‘prompting calls from community leaders and homeland security advisors for a crackdown on it and similar rightwing hate-sites to safeguard vulnerable minorities and combat the growing risk of radicalisation of white males thru the dissemination of damaging conspiracy theories’ (*)
I do not doubt this has been foreseen and that measures are in place, but in the meantime maybe we could all reflect on what we should or should not say here to avoid giving ‘grist to the mill’?
(*) To anticipate the copy — though it practically writes itself.
Here is something that I find a little peculiar. I’ve been following this Buffalo shooting story from the moment it happened, reading every news article that I saw posted online about it. And, in the first day or so, when the ‘alleged manifesto’ was first mentioned – the articles I read said it was 106 pages long. Then, all of a sudden, 74 more pages were magically added and the news articles started claiming the manifesto was 180 pages long.
This makes me wonder if the manifesto was probably written by the ADL and FBI and then, someone decided that it didn’t contain enough ‘racist’ and/or ‘anti-Semitic’ material and failed to put a sufficient number of ‘checkmarks’ next to everything on the narrative that the left wanted to use to push for more gun control, more restrictions on freedom of speech and a higher level of toxic venom and hate aimed at White males. So, the ADL/FBI team of propagandists decided to add 74 more pages.
The first version I saw was 180 pages.
If someone else created the Manifesto, I am sure it will come out in the trial.
I saw all sorts of numbers quoted for the page count. All this seems to mean is that there are a lot of sloppy reporters. One sign of a sloppy reporter is that they never toss in an “alleged” or “reported” or “according to.” As far as I’m aware, the 180-page manifesto was posted on Google Docs two days before the rampage. According to Google, were no edits done from the time it was posted to the time it was removed. And in the document, the shooter named both himself and the specific supermarket he intended to target—again, prior to the attack.
Except for the overlong section about his guns and gear, the remainder of the document was plagiarized.
Apparently The Shithead and perhaps The Laughing Hyeness are headed up there today.
Let the healing begin.
“I’d like to express my condolences to the great people of Boulder…”
“Biden calls for unity to stem racial hate.”
Good stuff. I’d add to that- “We need to make things better so that everything will be more good.”
For all Americans.
We need to recite specious platitudes to people who use terms like “zogbot.”
I have small respect for those racial meliorists who disavow violence and hope for racial comity. It isn’t comity I desire but victory. The black and white peoples are immiscible and neither group can fulfill its destiny without first asserting its dominance over the other. From the Elamite Empire to the present day, multiracialism has never succeeded. Precisely because they are multiracial empires seldom endure for long. And when they do endure, prove very unhappy places.
Meanwhile, back in ‘stinks to high Heaven of hoax’ land…once upon a time in an extremely affluent Chicago suburb…

Whites are an inherently moral people and so indiscriminate murder isn’t going to win our people over. If this guy had known more people irl whether they were normies or dissidents he would have realized how retarded his idea was. Terminally online people like the shooter desperately need to touch grass.
“Brian Milligan, Jr., the 19-year-old white kid whose only crime was to court one of the city’s black girls” – that was indeed a crime, one of the worst possible ones – interracial relationships are a crime against one’s ancestors and all of humanity. It was good that at least the racially conscious Black people punished this horrible crime back then. Traitors are revolting and should be despised by conscious Whites and Blacks alike. I wish an alliance of racial separatists against this degeneracy was possible, like back when George Lincoln Rockwell cooperated with Malcolm X.
It’s sad to see now so much violence aimed against the wrong people. It’s not elderly Blacks in a supermarket who are replacing White people. They could’ve been completely innocent and didn’t even pose any danger to Whites at their advanced age. The shooter wasted his young life with a great potential – to achieve nothing for us, and what he did is even counterproductive. He wrote a lot of things in his manifesto that are actually true, including truths about the corrupt and destructive nature of the current political system, but he still didn’t think about this properly and made the terrible decision to target innocents instead of those truly responsible for White replacement.
He’s mentally ill. Everyone stop ascribing their own deep thoughts to a mental patient who should have been in a mental hospital. That was determined before this. He shoulda done this, he shoulda done that. He should have fashioned himself a nice hat of tin foil. Once you open fire on innocent victims shopping for malt liquor, it doesn’t matter if you worship squid or you claim to be a Trotskyite.
Meanwhile, a ‘deep-thinking’ white liberal comedian weights in on the subject of ‘white supremacy’. Clearly insulting poor people and demanding they “get an education” is the way to make new friends and influence people. Others might call it “smugly and self-righteously preaching to the snotty middle class choir.”

Be interesting to go through his list of supposed black inventions and see how many of them are true. For instance, he says that a black man invented the microphone he is using to berate poor whites. Welllll…
https://laptrinhx.com/a-brief-history-of-microphones-who-invented-them-and-when-3437801381/
The usual self-loathing, smug, supposedly morally and ethically and racially superior shit, in other words. This whole liberal hatred towards poor white people has actually moved into a sort of American societal caste system now, and it’s only getting worse.
Ahem: https://counter-currents.com/2022/02/black-invention-myths-4/
Hello? Our President already told us “unity” will stem racial hatred. Problem solved.
That, and working together.
