The Jacksonville shooter who shot and killed three black people at a local Dollar General store reportedly wrote a letter and listed Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly as one of his targets.
Writings that were obtained by Rolling Stone reveals some of the high-profile people that Ryan Christopher Palmeter wanted dead. In the writings he reportedly called Eminem, a n***er lover and a “valid target” who was “to be killed on sight.” “Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers, aka Slim Shady aka Ken Keniff, aka the white guy from D12): Stared the abyss (being n-ggerdly) and the abyss stared back (becoming a n-gger),” he wrote in one passage. “Walks the edge of n-gger lover and honorary n-gger.
“Fell off not because his new stuff sucked but because the lyrics were gay annoying liberal shit. ROE for Total N-gger 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.” Palmeter then went on to write how one time he was close enough to kill to Machine Gun Kelly. “Colson Baker (aka Machine Gun Kelly): Honorable n-gger,” he wrote. “To be killed on sight like Eminem because I didn’t get a shot at him up in Ohio.”
As we previously reported, Ryan Christopher Palmeter, 21, shot and killed three people at a Dollar General in Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday, authorities said. All three victims were Black, and the suspect detailed a “disgusting ideology of hate” in writings, according to Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters. “Plainly put, this shooting was racially motivated and he hated Black people,” Waters said of the suspect. The gunman was armed with an AR-15-style rifle and a handgun and outfitted in a tactical vest when he shot three people — two men and a woman — before turning the gun on himself, according to Waters. No other injuries were reported in the shooting. “This is a dark day in Jacksonville’s history,” Waters said. “As a member of this Jacksonville community, I am sickened by this cowardly shooter’s personal ideology of hate.”
During this “racially motivated” attack we learned that the gunman let a mother get away while he was on a killing spree. While speaking with News4Jax, Mercedez Jones explained how she thought it was just a regular day until she suddenly heard gunfire inside the store. “I didn’t care if he shot me, just not my baby, please. The last moments I had with her, she was being bad,” she said. “I didn’t know the nature of the crime at the time. All I [knew] was, ‘I got to get my baby out of here.’ Then he came behind the store, and we saw him. He was like in military clothes, he had like this marine [outfit] on, a bulletproof vest and the biggest gun I have ever seen strapped around his shoulders and he just sat there, he watched us, he could have killed us all.”“It was three other women, older women that worked there behind that building with me. Everybody else could jump, but I couldn’t. I had a baby. So, therefore, we [were] begging for our lives and I fell begging for mine, blocking my baby with my body and then he was like, ‘If you don’t want me to shoot you, run,’” Jones explained.
