This morning I wrote that, as in every other mass shooting in the last few years, we would find out either today or tomorrow that the Buffalo shooter was known to be a threat to law enforcement, and that most likely would include the FBI.
A few hours later during an appearance on the ABC News Sunday morning fake news show, New York Governor Kathy Hochul confirmed that Payton Guidron was indeed known to law enforcement:
Here’s an excerpt from the story at Global News:
New York authorities on Sunday were investigating how a white 18-year-old, who the governor said had been on the radar of authorities since high school, was able to shoot 10 people to death in a Black neighborhood grocery store.
The suspect, Payton Gendron, surrendered to police on Saturday at the Buffalo, New York, store after what authorities called an act of “racially motivated violent extremism.” He apparently publicized a racist manifesto on the internet.
Hochul told ABC News on Sunday that Gendron had been on authorities’ radar “with respect to something he wrote in high school,” without elaborating.
The governor said an investigation into the massacre would focus on how Gendron managed to get away with it when he was known to authorities and presented a threat.
“I want to know what people knew and when they knew it,” she said.

Welp, Governor, if the standard mass-shooting script holds true to form, you should give this guy a call:
…because it’s highly likely that his bureau has had Mr. Guidron under surveillance for many months now.
You just cannot make this stuff up, folks.
That is all.
Hmmmm. Very similar to the kid who shot up the high school in FL a while back. Who was also on the "radar" of law enforcement, supposedly. And how many others who slipped past the radar to commit their massacres? Seems like the LE agencies need to replace their "radar" analysts or something.
