As much as the motivation of the 18 year old racist who killed 10 in Buffalo sickens us, [View all]

perhaps just as nauseating is the realization that countless thousands of our fellow Americans are actually applauding the murders and count this killer of mostly elderly unarmed black shoppers as one of their heroes. And, as sure as death and taxes, his defense fund will receive tens of thousands of dollars from his genuine fans.

I cannot think of any place for such racist monsters in my world. I am not interested in hearing that this murderer is "misguided" and I do not want to hear that he is "sick".

Mad dogs are sick. This killer is evil.

There is no place for either in our society.
