The shooting in a Black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York, that left 10 grocery shoppers dead wasn't anomalous. It was consistent with a long US history of violence produced by anxiety over supposedly dwindling White control.
A 180-page diatribe has been attributed to the White 18-year-old suspect. In it, he describes not only his preparations for the massacre but his reasons for wanting to kill in the first place.

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.
