Major news from my city, Jacksonville, Florida.


21-year-old Ryan Palmeter targeted and killed three Black shoppers at Dollar General off Kings Road in Jacksonville Florida. This after he first stopped at a Historical Black College and University -- Edward Waters University.


According to Jacksonville Sheriff, T.K. Waters, the manifesto the shooter left indicate very clearly that it was a racially based shooting. But we take issue with the Sheriff's description of this incident as a lone-wolf incident.


I'm sure we will find that the manifesto mirrors the same ideology, beliefs, and even syntax of the the TOP's Grocery Store shooter in Buffalo, NY.

We're calling on TK Waters to release the manifesto.
