The racist gunman who killed three black people at a Dollar General in Florida called Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly “valid targets” who should “be killed on sight” — and claimed to have once been close enough to Kelly to have shot him.
The white rappers were listed in a nearly 30-page vile manifesto left by Ryan Palmeter, 21, after he shot up a Dollar General in Jacksonville on Saturday with two guns, including a swastika-painted AR-15-style rifle, according to excerpts seen by Rolling Stone.
“Eminem … stared the abyss (being ni–dly) and the abyss stared back (becoming a ni—er),” Palmeter wrote while also sharing dreams of a race war.
“Walks the edge of ni–er lover and honorary ni–er. Fell off not because his new stuff sucked but because the lyrics were gay annoying liberal shit.
“ROE for Total Ni–er Death is to include Eminem … as a valid target and he is to be killed on sight.”
Palmeter also took aim at Machine Gun Kelly — even suggesting he may have once been close enough to him to have shot him.
“Colson Baker (aka Machine Gun Kelly): Honorable ni–er. To be killed on sight like Eminem because I didn’t get a shot at him up in Ohio,” he wrote. It was not clear when or where he had the apparent close interaction with the star in the Buckeye State.
Reps for both stars did not return to Rolling Stone’s requests for comment, and the FBI told the mag it had no comment on the report.
In his hateful spew, Palmeter also praised Justice Clarence Thomas’ conservative policies and Timothy McVeigh, the domestic terrorist who killed 168 people in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, noting “he now lives in our hearts.”
During a briefing call Monday, FBI Director Christopher Wray said the investigation into the shooting up to this point “reveals the perpetrator of Saturday’s attack through his own writings, through the references he made, and through his actions, make clear his intentions, his actions, his motivations, his hate.”
Palmeter, wearing a tactical vest and carrying a Glock pistol and AR-15-style rifle covered in swastikas, killed Angela Michelle Carr, 52, Jerrald Gallion, 29, and Anolt Joseph “AJ” Laguerre Jr., 19.
He fired 11 rounds at Carr as she sat in her car in the store’s parking lot, while Gallion was gunned down as he entered the shop with his girlfriend.
Laguerre worked at the Dollar General and was trying to flee when he was shot and killed.
After the shooting began, Palmeter texted his father and told him to go into his room, where he found a will and suicide note, police said.
His father called 911 — telling the operator his son flunked out of college and had “pretty much been living in his room,” according to CNN. By the time his father learned what had happened, it was too late.
Palmeter — who turned the gun on himself 11 minutes after his rampage began — acted alone in his racist rampage, authorities said.
The guns Palmeter used were purchased legally in April and June of this year — despite Palmeter having been held for emergency mental health evaluation for three days in 2017, though he was released after an examination.
FBI investigators are treating the shooting as a hate crime.
