    Buffalo shooter targeted Black neighborhood, officials say.
    Associated Press (Center) • Factual Grade 72% • 5 min read

    The lengthy statement attributed to [the shooter] outlined a racist ideology. The attack was intended to intimidate all non-white, non-Christian people and get them to leave the country, it said. The document said he picked a neighborhood in Buffalo because it had a high ratio of Black residents. Federal authorities were still working to confirm the authenticity of the 180-page document.
    ...
    The shooter livestreamed [the shooting] on Twitch. Twitch said that it ended the transmission “less than two minutes after the violence started.”
    ...
    The attack came a year after the gunman was taken to a hospital by State Police after making threats involving his high school. He wasn’t charged with a crime and was out of the hospital within a day and a half. Federal law bars people from owning a gun if a judge has determined they have a “mental defect” or they have been forced into a mental institution — but an evaluation alone would not trigger the prohibition.

YESTERDAY'S POLL

Should the United States offer unconditional pandemic aid to North Korea?

524 votes, 51 comments

Context: North Korea reports first official Covid-19 cases, deaths.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - Offer aid? Yes. Unconditionally? No. If this can be used as a means of extracting concessions from North Korea, then it should be, especially if those concessions involve de-escalation. If spending money on vaccines in North Korea saves us from spending more money on South Korean / overall Pacific region defense, it could be a win-win.


Yes - Failure to assist North Korea (and any other country) to fight Covid would be cu...



Unsure - Unconditional aid to the DPRK usually creates into a regime-reinforcing propaganda opportunity as the Kim dynasty takes credit for whatever "bounty" is provided. This has been true for rice and wheat don...
