Jacksonville Shooter Who Killed 3 Black People Also Wanted Eminem, Machine Gun Kelly Dead

Jacksonville was devastated this weekend after a shooter, Ryan Christopher Palmeter, killed three Black people in what is now being investigated as a hate crime due to his racist writings. Evidently, he also listed Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly as his preferred targets in said writings.
“Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers, aka Slim Shady aka Ken Keniff, aka the white guy from D12): Stared the abyss (being ni**erdly) and the abyss stared back (becoming a ni**er),” Rolling Stone reported that he wrote about the Detroit rapper. “Walks the edge of ni**er lover and honorary ni**er. Fell off not because his new stuff sucked but because the lyrics were gay annoying liberal sh*t. ROE for Total Ni**er Death is to include Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers, aka Slim Shady aka Ken Keniff, aka the white guy from D12) as a valid target and he is to be killed on sight.”
His writings indicated he may have been close enough to take MGK out. “Colson Baker (aka Machine Gun Kelly): Honorable ni**er,” he wrote. “To be killed on sight like Eminem because I didn’t get a shot at him up in Ohio.” He also mentioned Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, calling him “the rare principled conversation,” and said Timothy McVeigh, who killed 168 people in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, “now lives in our hearts.”
From the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Department:
“Portions of these manifestos detail the shooter's disgusting ideology of hate. This shooting was racially motivated and he hated black people.” pic.twitter.com/GDBRg937Ak— . (@suttonimpaQt) August 26, 2023
Ryan Christopher Palmeter entered a Jacksonville Dollar General store on Saturday (Aug. 26) armed with a handgun and swastika-emblazoned assault rifle. He opened fire and killed Angela Michelle Carr, 52; Anolt Joseph “AJ” Laguerre Jr., 19; and Jerrald Gallion, 29, before killing himself.
“So far we have identified multiple writings that show a hatred against African Americans and belief in the inferiority of Black people,” Sherri Onks, Jacksonville Special FBI Agent said on Monday (Aug. 28). “There’s also evidence he harbored anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-Semitic grievances.”
“The division has to stop, the hate has to stop, the rhetoric has to stop,” Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan passionately stated on Sunday (Aug. 27). “We are all the same flesh, blood, and bones and we should treat each other that way.”
State Sen. Tracie Davis on Jacksonville shooting: "Those three people were gunned down because they were Black. We are in 2023 and we are dealing with racial issues like this. It's devastating… simply knowing that you are targeted because of the color of your skin." pic.twitter.com/GSK2T2umEA
