The more we learn about the two recent mass shootings that have grabbed so much attention in America, the more awkward questions are raised. For instance, why did no-one sound the alarm about a teenager who was posting online pictures of themselves butchering a cat, and asking family members to by him guns, while hinting that he was preparing to perpetrate an atrocity?

Why did police stand by and do nothing for an hour, while children were being systematically murdered just metres away?

Even more disturbing are emerging claims that, in one of the shootings, a retired federal agent knew in advance of a planned mass murder.

Authorities believe the former agent – believed to be from Texas – was one of at least six individuals who regularly communicated with accused gunman Payton Gendron in an online chat room where racist hatred was discussed, the two officials said.

The two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation stated these individuals were invited by Gendron to read about his mass shooting plans and the target location about 30 minutes before Gendron killed 10 people at Tops Markets on Jefferson Avenue on May 14.

The News could not determine if the retired agent accepted the invitation.

Even if he didn’t accept the invitation, the very fact that he was notified by the killer in advance and did nothing is shocking.

“The FBI has verified that none of these people called law enforcement to warn them about the shooting. The FBI database shows no advance tips from anyone that this shooting was about to happen.”

Agents from the FBI are in the process of tracking down and interviewing the six people, including the retired agent, and attempting to determine if any of them should be charged as accomplices, the two sources with close knowledge of the probe told The Buffalo News.

The two sources did not identify the agent by name and could not confirm what federal agency he worked for.

According to reports, some 15 people did accept Gendron’s invitation, were able to review his plan, and watch the livestream.

FBI agents are also trying to determine the identity of an individual Gendron calls “Sandman,” and “Saint Sandman” in his lengthy social media diary that appeared on Discord 30 minutes before the attack, the sources said

Buffalo News

This was only just the very last in a series of bright red flags that the shooter was waving in full view for months.

New York State Police said troopers were called early last June to the high school then attended by the alleged gunman, Payton Gendron, for a report that a 17-year-old student had made threatening statements.

Gendron threatened to carry out a shooting at Susquehanna Valley High School, in Conklin, New York […]

Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said Gendron had no further contact with law enforcement after his release from the hospital.

“Nobody called in,” he said. “Nobody called any complaints,” Gramaglia said.

Meanwhile, the media continue to lie about the shooter’s odious motivations. Most especially, the legacy media are pushing the narrative that it was an “anti-immigrant” attack.

The document said Gendron researched demographics to select his target, and picked a neighborhood in Buffalo because it had a high ratio of Black residents.

Gendron traveled about 200 miles (320 kilometers) from his home in Conklin, New York, to Buffalo to commit the attack, police said.

And in doing so, bypassed several, much nearer, towns that have a much higher ratio of immigrant population, in order to target black people who were not immigrants. Which kind of contradicts the media narrative.

After years of the media trying to turn every single event into proof that white people hate African Americans, at last there’s a monstrous crime where even skeptics say, Yeah, this one was totally about a white guy who hates black people. But the media decided that this week, they needed to juice the immigrant vote.

The madness, the wild upside-down insanity of the media pushing the “great replacement theory” as the motive for the Buffalo shooting, is this: If anyone’s being replaced by immigrants, it’s black people.

As Ann Coulter points out, if any group of Americans have been disadvantaged by mass illegal immigrant, it’s black Americans.

So, why are the media lying about the shooter’s real, racist motivations? Because they need to win back black Americans who’d finally started to show signs of abandoning a Democrat party that cares nothing about them except that they vote the “right” way. And Democrats, more than anything, don’t want anyone to start thinking about the Biden administration’s egregious failure on the southern border. What better way than to tar anyone who does, with the Buffalo killer’s brush?
