Seattle man accused of threatening to kill Black people in Buffalo grocery store, court records show

Joey David George, 37, allegedly threatened to shoot and kill “all of the Black people, including all of the women, children and babies.”

Federal charges have been lodged against a Seattle-area man who phoned a Tops Friendly Markets store in Buffalo, New York, with threats to fatally shoot Black patrons, just two months after a racist massacre took 10 Black lives at a different Tops location.

37-year-old Joey David George allegedly first called the store on July 19, identifying himself as “Peter” and asking about the number of African Americans shopping there. He claimed he was nearby and that if he “shot and killed all of the Black people, including all of the women, children and babies,” he would get on the news, according to court documents reviewed by today!
