Ben Crump on mass shooting: Hold accountable those who "curate hate" (287 hits)


Ben Crump on mass shooting: Hold accountable those who "curate hate"
David Morgan - 1h ago

As the city of Buffalo, N.Y., and the nation, reacts to Saturday's mass shooting in a predominantly Black neighborhood in which 13 people were shot, 10 fatally, an attorney for the family of an 86-year-old grandmother who was killed is calling for those who radicalize white supremacists to be held accountable.

In a statement released Sunday, attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the family of Ruth Whitfield, said, "Yesterday, we witnessed the deadliest mass shooting of 2022, perpetrated by a self-proclaimed white supremacist who set out to do one thing: kill Black people. … We are thoroughly investigating the shooting and the events leading up to it."

Appearing on "CBS Mornings" on Monday, Crump said, "It's important that we not only hold accountable this individual who committed this hateful act, but we hold accountable those who curate this hate, who radicalize these young white supremacists."

Police say Payton Gendron, 18, traveled about 200 miles from his home in Conklin, N.Y., to Buffalo to commit the attack, for which he was heavily armed and wearing tactical gear. He was taken into custody and has been charged with first-degree murder, in what officials are calling a hate crime and a case of racially motivated violent extremism. Gendron has pleaded not guilty.
