IHE: Buffalo Shooter Cites Notre Dame Professor, Others

Payton Gendron, the 18-year-old white man who has been charged with first-degree murder in the killings of 10 Black employees and patrons of a Buffalo supermarket on May 14, included Gaski in a 180-page diatribe posted online. Specifically, Gendron cited a 2013 opinion piece, "A Discussion on Race, Crime and the Inconvenient Facts," published by Investor's Business Daily, in which Gaski accuses "race hustlers" and "race baiters" of falsely "engendering a climate of racist danger for black citizens."

Both Notre Dame and Gaski have emphasized that the article was from 2013. Well, not so much. FYI, The Indiana Policy Review is essentially a catch all for all right wing efforts of the moment, with opinion pieces written by conservative Indiana journalists, current and former Indiana politicians, and a small core of professors from Indiana higher ed.

They need to do a country-wide buy-back of guns, and then send them all to Ukraine,  2here they're actually needed.

That is all.
