AP's tweet is the source my title and - as you can see - it's far better than the article's headline.
BREAKING: A white man fatally shot three Black people, then himself, at a Jacksonville, Florida, Dollar General store in what officials described as a hate crime.
according to The Independent the shooter's assault rifle and glock were covered in swastikas

swastikasinnocuous, non-racist, pro-Ukrainian, symbols.I swear, all this shit in America has just made me completely apathetic to anything that happens, and I hate it.
I haven't checked, but how much y'all want to bet right wing commentators are probably already spinning the old "uhm akshully the Nazis are leftists"

Nobody has ever misused a word cynically ever!!!!!
If Edgar Allan Poe was alive to day and he saw your comment - he might write a story called Death Follows Me. And there would be no need for the supernatural or monsters or devils. Present day America has vile people, mass shooters, and terrorists as substitutes.
