BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – The U.S. Justice Department is investigating Saturday’s mass shooting at a Buffalo supermarket as a hate crime and an act of racially motivated violent extremism.

The gunman was identified during his arraignment as Payton S. Gendron of Conklin, New York. That name that matches the name given in a 180-page manifesto that surfaced online shortly after the attack and took credit for the violence in the name of white supremacy.

Buffalo mass shooter’s alleged manifesto leaves no doubt attack was white supremacist terrorism

“Greatly anti-Semitic, greatly racist against people of color, white supremacist, radicalized in all the ways we can think of.”

Finally some are starting to do it

Every last politician who trafficks in hate need to get called out on it, and get voted out of office. There's no room for it in the halls of Congress.

I think changing congressional terms to 3 years and having half the senate up every 3 years would make more difference than we would expect when it comes to the function of the legislative branch.

After Buffalo, House Democrats to tee up vote on domestic terrorism bill

Democrats face limited legislative options in responding to the mass shooting, with Republicans largely opposed to advancing any gun control measures.
