A white gunman fatally shot three Black people in hate-motivated shooting at a Dollar General retailer in Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon, Sheriff T.K. Waters said.
“This shooting was racially motivated, and he hated Black people,” the sheriff said at a news conference. “He wanted to kill n------.”
Yes, but thats’s removing responsibility on the perpetrator’s part, and we obviously can’t do that. We’re assumed to be responsible for our actions.
