Here’s Why Six People Said Nothing When the Buffalo Mass Shooter Told Them Of His Mass Murder Plan. So, no one wanted to out themselves as budding KKK members. This also makes us wonder if, and if so, how much the people in this chat room egged this guy on to do what he did.
Now, a new development in the investigation shows that Gendron told six people about his plan to commit a mass shooting some thirty minutes before the crime. One of the people in the group is a retired federal agent. NO ONE said anything. This could be the reason why (via Buffalo News):
Authorities believe the former agent – believed to be from Texas – was one of at least six individuals who regularly communicated with accused gunman Payton Gendron in an online chat room where racist hatred was discussed, the two officials said.
