yall CANNOT ignore that the mass shooter in florida was a member of the Republic of Florida, a white supremacist and sucessionist group. gun control and talking about it is good, but you guys CANNOT keep ignoring the fact that most of these mass shooters are white supremacists and misogynists and this motivates them to be terrorists. stop ignoring it, PLEASE.
it isn’t “mental illness”. its racism, white supremacy and america’s glorification of guns, war, terrorism and murder.
its hypocritical for america to try and intervene in other countries businesses and group others as terrorists and yet have terrorism, white terrorism, in our own country
The Anti-Defamation League broke the story about the Republic of Florida connection on their blog – article here. However, it should be noted that they’ve added an update:
UPDATE: On Thursday afternoon, following news reports of the alleged association between Cruz and the Republic of Florida, a member of an alt right discussion forum wrote that all of the claims were false and were part of an elaborate attempt to troll a network news reporter and other media outlets. At a press conference Thursday afternoon, the Broward County sheriff said a connection was “not confirmed at this time,” but that law enforcement was still investigating.
This angle should not be ignored, because white supremacy is a big driver of violent crime and domestic terrorism, but at the moment there is some uncertainty about whether this particular connection is genuine or whether a neo-nazi just tried to score some free publicity for his group off the back of a tragedy.
