Washington: The teenager who had gunned down 10 African Americans in Buffalo, New York had a chilling 180-page manifesto for his horrendous act.
He wanted to "kill as many Blacks as possible", reports say.
A few days ago, Payton Gendron Gendron drove 200 miles wearing combat outfits, carrying gun to put in practice his "manifesto", pumping bullets on innocent people in a Supermarket here.
In his head was running the racist creed that told him minorities are taking over the society and he should act to stop it.
He was motivated by the evil act of the white supremacist gunman who killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019.
Brenton Tarrant, the Christchurch killer, had a manifesto of his own in which he warned of a "Great Replacement" of white Christians of European descent by Blacks, Jews, Muslims, Latinos and others.
This theory has been gaining ground in American right-wing politics.
Gordon's manifesto reportedly was inspired directly by Tarrant's " Great Replacement" text which claimed that white Europeans were facing " ethnic replacement' and ' genocide'.
Gendron reportedly got radicalized exclusively online which the authorities believe increasingly becoming a threat to the US.
He had described in details the plans for the attack from choosing the target to what kind of body armour he wanted. He wanted to broadcast the act live using a helmet-mounted camera, copying Tarrant's act.
Gendron lived in two-story home in Conklin New York and his parents Paul and Pamela Gendron were engineers.
His classmates said Gendron was " reclusive" and opted online course when direct teaching started, according to The New York Times.
Like most American teens, he developed interest in guns. When asked about his plans for future, he reportedly said he wanted to undertake a "murder-suicide".
Later he claimed it was a joke and was released after a few day of psychiatric assessment.
He was then forgotten until he emerged from his shell of radical beliefs to commit massacre.
