Florida Governor Ron Desantis booed at vigil as hundreds mourn more racist killings
Hundreds of people gathered Sunday at prayer vigils and in church, in frustration and exhaustion, to mourn yet another racist attack in America: this one the killing of three Black people in Florida at the hands of a white, 21-year-old man who authorities say left behind white supremacist ramblings that read like “the diary of a madman.”
Following services earlier in the day, about 200 people showed up at a Sunday evening vigil a block from the Dollar General store in Jacksonville where officials said Ryan Palmeter opened fire Saturday using guns he bought legally despite a past involuntary commitment for a mental health exam.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis — who is running for the GOP nomination for president, who has loosened gun laws in Florida and who has antagonized civil rights leaders by deriding “wokeness " — was loudly booed as he addressed the vigil.
Lol, they can release them after Aiden Hale’s manifesto is released.
Oh look, whataboutism. Neato.
Release them both. Unlike the sycophants choking on Trumpler's dick, I'm quite able to declare anyone who perpetrates a hate-fueled crime as scum undeserving of pity or dignity.
The issue folks like you don't want to confront is that for every Aiden Hale, there are hundreds of right-wing assholes shooting up gay clubs, synagogues, and entire Black communities. Take your whataboutism someplace where folks are stupid enough to mistake it for any kind of substantive argument.
