Accused killer Payton Gendron, will face 26 counts of federal hate crimes and other firearms offenses that carry a possible death sentence

 

Federal prosecutors filed hate crime charges against the white gunman who allegedly killed 10 people in a racist attack at a western New York supermarket last month, officials said Wednesday.

 

The suspected Buffalo shooter, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, will face 26 counts of hate crimes and firearms offenses, which carry the potential of the death penalty, the Department of Justice announced. 

 

“Gendron’s motive for the mass shooting was to prevent Black people from replacing white people and eliminating the white race, and to inspire others to commit similar attacks," according to the criminal complaint filed in the Western District of New York.

...

Gendron has already been indicted on 25 state criminal counts that include murder and attempted murder as a hate crime and weapons possession. [Moderator's note: But New York state laws do not currently allow for the death penalty.]

Racist BS.

He doesn’t deserve to remain part of humanity and tax payers money should not be wasted on him by keeping him in prison for the rest of his days. 

 

He made his choice to remove himself from the human race when he killed in cold blood.
