A rare sight in Florida politics: Leaders from opposing sides standing united to condemn racial violence against Jacksonville's Black community.
, Angela Michelle Carr, A.J. LaGarry, and Gerald Deshaun Gallaghan, were gunned down by a 21-year-old racist gunman, who crossed county lines to target the predominantly Black area of Jacksonville.
“Today is about showing up for these residents that did not deserve what happened,” said Councilmember Ju’Coby Pittman , who represents the Newtown area. It was a display that has become increasingly rare in Florida politics in recent years: Leaders from opposite ends of the political spectrum standing shoulder to shoulder united in their message condemning the racial violence inflicted upon Jacksonville’s Black community.“We are not gonna let people be targeted based on their race. We’re going to stand up and we’re going to do what we need to do to make sure that evil does not triumph in the state of Florida,” said Governor DeSantis.
During the Governor’s remarks, many members of the crowd made it clear they didn’t believe the racist killings happened in a vacuum. Boos and critiques of DeSantis’ policies rang out from the audience as he began to speak, but in a moment of bipartisanship, Councilmember Pittman stepped in and urged the crowd to settle.
