Neighbors of 21 year-old registered Republican neckbeard Ryan Palmeter, of Orange Park, Florida, tell Action News Jax that he was the asshole who on Saturday murdered three Black shoppers at a Jacksonville Dollar General store before turning his Swastika-painted assault rifle on himself.

Within hours of the Jacksonville shooting, we have the manifesto and know the motive of the evil, racist terrorist. And yet we still don't have the manifesto of the transgender terrorist who shot up the Nashville Christian school. Why? #Jacksonville

This of course is how fanboys like former Fox News host Todd Starnes are reacting to the news about the killing. The problem isn’t the guns or the racism it’s that “we have the manifesto.”

“We” do not fucking “have the manifesto,” we have a brief description of it because Palmeter’s father, a liberal Dem, read it and immediately called the Clay County Florida Sheriff’s department to warn them that his son was armed, dangerous, and intent on shooting Black people. This was relayed to Jacksonville Sheriff TK Waters who told reporters about that portion of the manifesto’s contents, specifically that Palmeter “wanted to kill [n-words].” That a Black lawman clearly upset over a MAGA shitbag targeting other Black folks publicly discloses that portion of the manifesto and nothing else while the cops in Nashville have disclosed absolutely nothing of Audrey Hale’s final screed is naturally evidence of some sort of coordinated, far-reaching conspiracy to make MAGA look bad. It’s unlikely either manifesto will be made public in its entirety for a long time, if ever, yet it’s somehow unfair that the media learned a detail about Palmeter’s but not Hale’s. That’s how fucking petty and demented these people are. And Starnes is far from alone in this.
