DeSantis booed at vigil for Jacksonville shooting victims
The Florida governor and candidate for the GOP presidential nomination has made anti-"wokeness" a centerpiece of his campaign. His appearance drew boos, but some in the crowd applauded him.

"Hundreds of people gathered Sunday at prayer vigils and in church, in frustration and exhaustion, to mourn yet another racially-motivated attack in America -- this one the killing of three Black people in Florida by a White, 21-year-old man who authorities say left behind white supremacist ramblings that read like "the diary of a madman."
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis - who is running for the GOP nomination for president and has loosened gun laws in Florida and antagonized civil rights leaders by deriding "wokeness" -- was loudly booed as he addressed the vigil. Ju'Coby Pittman, a Jacksonville city councilwoman who represents the neighborhood where the shooting happened and who CBS Jacksonville affiliate WJAX-TV reports organized the vigil -- stepped in to ask the crowd to listen. "It ain't about parties today," she said. "A bullet don't know a party."DeSantis said the state would be announcing financial support Monday for security at Edward Waters University, the historically black college near where the shooting occurred, and to help the affected families."
Why would DeSantis cave to these people? Why should any of these blacks get taxpayer money just because a couple of them were killed by some leftist, or as far as we know, this whole thing could be a false flag. Why isn't DeSantis providing financial support to the white victims of hate crimes committed by blacks, daily. As of just this week, 78,8373 white citizens in Florida have been murdered by blacks due to black supremacist ideology - why are we silent about this? Also, why is the usual reflex response from conservatives is to always deflect, or try to minimize it or both sides it - it makes it seem you feel to blame, that you have to defend - you should feel none of those things...
If this is indeed white supremacist motivated terror, how is this not the fault of Democrats? They are the party of white supremacists since the start of this country. Allegedly, the shooter was casing out a nearby campus of a historically black college - that college only exists due to Democrats so if this guy actually shot up that campus, how is that not the fault of Democrats? When you as Democrats promote gay rights, voting rights for darkies, push racist historical figures on our children like Medgar Evers and thug gang known as the Little Rock Nine; of course the obvious result will be incidents like these - you are essentially pushing white supremacy by shoving these things down our throats.
So conservatives, no need to feel defensive about any mass shooting that happens - just know it will always be the fault of Democrats, not conservatives. Right-wing ideology promotes peace, working together, racial harmony and compromise - you never hear them talk about needing to resort to force or violence to take our country back. However, Democrat's hateful ideology of protecting Medicare and Social Security; supporting labor rights and collective bargaining, and the racist policy of providing government assistance to poor single mothers -are some of the most hateful policies in our history.
