Jacksonville's sheriff says a gunman who killed three people at a Dollar General store was racially motivated and hated Black people. Sheriff T.K.

AP’s tweet is the source my title and - as you can see - it’s far better than the article’s headline.

      That’s my life.

      I don’t personally know anyone who has been shot or killed in a mass shooting, but I’ve been to Club Q. I’ve been to the movie theater in Aurora. I’ve been to the King Soopers that got shot up. Shit, I was born in Jacksonville, I know the area very well. Kings Road.

      I’m sure everyone here can empathize, but when I say what I say, it’s the truth. I look at all these places and I just go for fucks sake, that could have been me, I’ve literally been there.

      I feel like a walking zombie most days - I’d say “walking dead” but i dont think that really gets the point across with the tv show and all that. I feel like I’m always one minute away from being murdered, because by sheer virtue of all the places I’ve been, it’s like it’s constantly following me.
