. . ."The suspect had faced scrutiny in June of 2021 when New York State Police had investigated Gendron after reports of statements “indicating that he wanted to do a shooting, either at a graduation ceremony, or sometime after.”
"His concerning behavior had allegedly included showing up to school wearing a hazmat suit, but the former student who recalled the incident suggested it may have “had something to do with protecting himself from the coronavirus, but she didn’t rule out the fact that he was making a joke.”. . .
The Buffalo Shooter’s Ideas and Beliefs in One Easy Thread Helps Paint a Larger Picture – RedState "Two things inevitably follow a mass shooting. For one, the shooter becomes a celebrity. I don’t like it any more than you do but there’s something about evil that great that draws people into wanting to know more. Why did they do it? What drove them there? What kind of lens did they see the world through? All of these questions course through the minds of anyone who hears about killers.
"The other inevitability is that it will immediately be looked at by politicians, media figures, and activists as tools. One should never let a crisis go to waste, and true to form, everyone from gun control advocates to race-baiters will show up in full force, ready to make the deaths of innocents about their favored cause.
"On Twitter, as I write this and you read it, the Buffalo shooter is the subject of a lot of the national conversation and there are a lot of people pointing fingers at their political opposites for the blame. This is going on despite the fact that the shooter made information readily available online about his beliefs and intentions.

The Buffalo mass shooting is being labeled a “hate crime,” due in part to the racial motivation of an 18-year-old with a bizarre radicalized worldview that purportedly includes an authoritarian leftist past and white nationalist bent. The suspect Payton Gendron has described himself as being “mild-moderate authoritarian left.” These inconvenient facts have not stopped departing Congresswoman Liz Cheney from getting in a petty cheapshot that House GOP leaders purportedly ‘enabled white nationalism.’
