Relatives of Buffalo’s supermarket-slaughter suspect are copping the COVID defense, telling The NY Post on Monday that the teen likely snapped because of his paranoia and isolation from the pandemic. They added they had no clue their kin, accused 18-year-old Payton Gendron, was an alleged white supremacist and said he clearly needed help after threatening his high-school classmates almost a year ago — although they aren’t sure he ever got it.
“I have no idea how he could have gotten caught up in this. I blame it on COVID,’’ said Sandra Komoroff, 68, a cousin of Gendron’s mom Pamela, referring to the teen’s alleged hate-fueled rampage that left 10 black people dead at a Tops Friendly Market on Saturday. “He was very paranoid about getting COVID, extremely paranoid, to the point that — his friends were saying — he would wear the hazmat suit [to school],” she said. “”And then he got COVID just a few weeks ago. … He went to family functions with a respirator mask on. He totally wasn’t going to get COVID — and then he got COVID. They were vaxxed to the max,” she said of the family. “I don’t know if it was a bad case, I just know he caught it.” She added that Gendron had “bought into the fear of COVID.” NY Post
The gentleman has a great point. Who amoung us has not suffered from the lockdown? Who? I think everyone at the supermarket should be checked out for Covid before it’s too late. This could of been a super spreader event. Hashim yerachemm.

I agree with “16&44th Ave” – this should not ne taken lightly. I add one of the missing ingredient here – the affect of the “woke” demonization of white males. The highest suicide rate in the U.S. are white young males – way, way higher than any other group like white females, black males or females, etc. A major contributing factor is the demonization they suffer in society for their so-called “whiteness” and so-called “privilege”. But the way these things work, both ends of the normal distribution curve get affected, so that while some suffer suicide from such demonization, others simply give in and respond in kind – they “live down” to expectations and figure that if they are already condemned as white racist supremacists the may as well “act it out”. This “living down to expectations” is a well known phenomena.
We were told by the lemechel experts, that if you get vaccinated and wear a disposable mask you will live forever. So that includes being protected from massacres.
“”was an alleged white supremacist”
I didn’t see anywhere the black shooter James was called a Black Supremacist!
