This is white mass murderer Connor Sturgeon who massacred five (5) people and wounded nine (9) others at a bank on Monday in a shooting rampage in Louisville, Kentucky while live-streaming the attack.
This cold barefaced mass killer is being sanitized across the corporate media as a victim who has had multiple concussions; one publication introduced him as a graduate of the University of Alabama.
Who the f**k cares?
The publication went on to posit that the mass murderer has a master of science degree from the same university.
Sturgeon had learned he was going to be fired from the bank and wrote a note for his parents and a friend that he was going to carry out a shooting at the bank, CNN reported.
It seems to me like he was a regularly disgruntled worker who was mad he was about to be let go and decided to go postal on his colleagues. What does his bona fides have to do with him carrying out this barbaric act?
To add insult to injury, he left a note to his parents and a friend telling them of his malicious intent. That goes to premeditation or mens re.a , guilty mind. Livestreaming his rampage was icing on the cake.
Neither his formal education nor sports injury should be mentioned in this savage’s onslaught snuffing out innocent lives.

Murderers are murderers, regardless of their skin color. We will not accept attempts to white-wash the barbarism inherent in white mass murderers being perpetuated by the wholly owned white corporate media.
I will not stand in defense of black killers, nor will I stand in agreement with the sanitizing of white ones.
Black men who commit murders are characterized as thugs and animals. If a black man who kills a single person is a thug and animal, what is the definition of a white man who does worse by taking more lives?
The continued bombardment of our psyche by the fascist white power structure through the corrupt corporate media has gone on for too long. We no longer accept the implicit biases fed to us; we are quite capable of thinking for ourselves.
The right-wing attacks on social media apps like Tik Tok, supported by some in the Democrat party, are all about getting back control of the minds of the people and prohibiting the people from getting information to each other without government/corporate input.
It is another attack on ‘woke’ something they are desperately afraid of, black people beginning to think for themselves.
Well, at least a few of us.
