Florida school shooting suspect linked to white supremacist group: ADL (ABC News)

[ffr]

The Anti-Defamation League, a civil rights watchdog, told ABC News they have information they believe to be credible linking Nikolas Cruz, the Florida school shooting suspect, to a white supremacist group called Republic of Florida.

The ADL said ROF leader Jordan Jereb told them Cruz was associated with his group. Jereb, who is based in Tallahassee, said Cruz was brought into the group by another member and had participated in one or more ROF training exercises in the Tallahassee area, the ADL said. Law enforcement officials have not confirmed the link.

ROF has members in north and south Florida. The white supremacist group borrows paramilitary concepts from the anti-government extremist militia movement and describes itself as a “white civil rights organization fighting for white identitarian politics” and seeks to create a “white ethnostate” in Florida. Most ROF members are young and the group itself is only a few years old. - ABC News

2. 'Training?' wtf are they training for?

They don't really get how they embarrass themselves

3. Why set up a white ethnostate in FL?

Why not just do it in Idaho, where the "work" is pretty much already done!

4. Well on social media ,he did not like Muslims, and said he wanted to go in to

the military to kill people, so no surprise imo these are them when they crack

5. Didn't the t-rump administration take KKK, At-Right, White Nationalist,

etc., off the terrorist list? Yep, I believe so.

White terrorist groups killings, harassments rose in 2017. Sessions, t-rump are still protecting them.

6. Whatever Putin thinks will sow the most discourse in global democracies.

Conservatives, Sessions and tRump and Ryan and McConnell are playing right along with that strategy.

7. Trump told FBI to leave them alone.

Trump redirected the FBI that was monitoring white supremacy groups to look at brown people. Remember this. It’s no wonder this kid wasn’t in their radar. Sickening.
