BNO News relationships:
A 106-page online poster, believed to have been uploaded by the killer, explained that it was motivated by a conspiracy theory that whites would be replaced by other races. In the document, he claims to be 18 years old and to describe himself as a white supremacist and anti-Semite.
“If there’s one thing I want you to get from these writings, it’s that white birth rates have to change. Every day the white population is decreasing in number, ”the document states. “To maintain a population, people must achieve a birth rate that reaches replacement fertility levels in the Western world which is about 2.06 births per woman.”
This confirms the theory that it is “always an angry white.”
They appear to blame Tucker Carlson rather than Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis for the shooting:

The Buffalo Killer Manifesto looks like a job application for a young Tucker Carlson producer.
And no, I’m not irreverent.
