Hundreds of people gathered Sunday at prayer vigils and in church, in frustration and exhaustion, to mourn yet another racist attack in America: this one the killing of three Black people in Florida at the hands of a white, 21-year-old man who authorities say left behind white supremacist ramblings that read like “the diary of a madman.”

Following services earlier in the day, about 200 people showed up at a Sunday evening vigil a block from the Dollar General store in Jacksonville where officials said Ryan Palmeter opened fire Saturday using guns he bought legally despite a past involuntary commitment for a mental health exam.

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis — who is running for the GOP nomination for president, who has loosened gun laws in Florida and who has antagonized civil rights leaders by deriding “wokeness " — was loudly booed as he addressed the vigil.

    He fired the guy who posted the video, isn’t that what you want? Is there any proof this guy was hired with the campaign aware of ties to Naziism?

      Whats the old saying, “if it walks like a goose and it talks like a goose, then its a nazi?”

      And even if DeShithead aint a nazi himself, well im of the opinion he deserves to be dehydrated and forced to walk across the mojave during peak summer for his actions at gitmo. So I dont really care what his ideology is.
