BUFFALO, NY — The Buffalo shooter’s lengthy manifesto, which was allegedly written by 18-year-old Payton Gendron, is causing some to question whether the teenager wrote it himself.
The 180-page manifesto is now difficult to find because the internet is scrubbing it away quickly as its violent and racist content violates the terms of service for many providers, such as Google, Twitter, etc.
This journalist was able to find it on an alternative provider, but soon after it was seemingly scrubbed off from that location as well.
The disjointed manifesto is very racist and also appears to attack both right- and left-wing ideologies.
Another concerning aspect of the manifesto is that it includes two photographs of the alleged shooter on page 3, but those photos actually depict someone else and date back to at least 2016.
The manifesto falsely stated:
“And my most recent self pictures are below: The truth is my personal life and experiences are of no value. I am simply a White man seeking to protect and serve my community, my people, my culture, and my race.”
The person shown in those two photos clearly does not look like the alleged Buffalo shooter at all.
The male who is shown is much older, wears glasses and has hair that appears to be dyed blond. He is holding a rifle in both pictures.
It is not clear why Gendron would allegedly include fake photographs of himself.
According to a report, the photos depict an internet personality know as Sam Hyde, who has been known for online trolling for quite a few years.
Bizarrely, Hyde, who is also known as a comedian, has been falsely associated with other mass shootings in the past.
