The Latest: ‘No known ties’ between Cruz and supremacists
AP ^ | 2/15/2018

PARKLAND, Fla.

4:30 p.m.

A law enforcement official says he knows of “no known ties” between the suspect who confessed to a deadly mass shooting at a Florida high school and a white supremacist group.

Lt. Grady Jordan is a spokesman for the Leon County Sheriff’s Office in Tallahassee, where the white nationalist militia known as the Republic of Florida is based. Jordan said Thursday that his office has arrested militia leader Jordan Jereb at least four times since January 2014 and has been monitoring the group’s membership.

He says his office has “very solid” information on the group and “there’s no known ties that we have that we can connect” 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz with the group.

So the whole “He is a white supremacist” story was a bunch of BS..figures..it came originally from 4CHAN for God’s sake..of course the ADL believed it, they have an agenda..the Commie media has an agenda..this is what they do, report the bogus story, then after a few hours, retract it meanwhile everyone’s heard it

"... didn't personally know him ..."

At least one newswire report has the nutjob group's leader saying he did not personally know the perp, and another report saying he did personally know the perp. Typical reporting M.O. for the first day or two after any new tragedy.

My guess is the nutjob leader has much in common with the gun grabbers and the PETA spokeswoman and the rest of their ilk, who will "Never let a good tragedy go to waste, when you can pimp off of it to gain publicity for your cause".

BTW, the PETA announcement: "It is no surprise to PETA that ... Nikolas Cruz is said to have talked about shooting small animals, including .... While the issues of gun control and mental health rage on, one simple way to prevent future acts of violence is for local law-enforcement officials to pursue the strongest penalties possible in cruelty-to-animals cases—for everyone's sake—and for those who hear about or witness animal abuse to report it..."

So there you have it folks! The "simple" solution to school shootings is to crack down on animal abuse. Or ... wait, I thought they just said the Simple Solution is to ban guns? Or, hold on a minute ... breaking just today: a Dem congressman says the Simple Solution to school shootings is to vote all GOP Congressmen out of office this Fall. Or .... dang, I'm so confused!

We knew that was FAKE NEWS. Big Brother’s propaganda machine (the media) was indulging in wishful thinking

I figured as such. But this new fact will not be circulated. I am surprised AP was not told to can it.

the media is going “balls to the wall” on this one, no gun owner is safe.

They sure are. I’m watching Fox News right now and it’s like Pravda. Bret Baier started off the show reporting on what President Trump DIDN’T say today (”he didn’t talk about gun control . . .”) which is sure a long way from . . . I dunno, reporting the NEWS. The rest of the show has been a steady stream of Trump bashing. And this is Fox News! I can only imagine what CNN is like these days.

>> Shady: Every employee in both the MESSNBC and CNN newsrooms are gnashing their teeth

NBC and MSNBC are Comcast. ABC is Disney. CNN is TWC

>> TTFlyer: The Corporate Media lies like a rug - and gets away with it. They are truly a domestic enemy.

Exactly. But unfortunately nobody holds the parent corps accountable. How many millions could dump Comcast for another provider? Conservatives should not patronize these egregious parent corps.

>> WFBR: evidence this killer was part of antifa and sympathetic to communism but they never mention it.

Yup, and the MSM was pumping up Antifa.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat. Disney and Comcast the primary parent corps.

I’m betting the evening news shows will still include the white supremacist angle; it sounds scary and fits better with their gun control agenda.

Drudge has just taken the “White Supremacist” claim off of his website.

These Einsteins have photographic evidence this killer was part of antifa and sympathetic to communism but they never mention it.

Another lefty pretending to be a neo-Nazi claiming an association that’s not true. They were planted in various locations during the ‘90s for commie propaganda purposes.

Sucks to be you, AP. You couldn’t WAIT to publish a story from the ADL that got info off of 4chan! Frauds! Just copying and pasting what the ADL and SPLC orgs tell you to write.

You are B*STARDS!

The white supremacist leader must have been put up to it. That’s all the rank-and-file leftists hear. Case closed and no new information permitted now that they have their narrative.

No. Not the same person.

And the Twitter account that Laura Loomer retweeted - Laguna Beach Antifa is not an Antifa group at all but an account parodying and making fun of Antifa. There are others in the same vein like Beverly Hills Antifa.

As to Cruz being a registered Democrat, that was based on the voter registration of a Nicolas Cruz in Florida whose birthday is in May 1998. However, the Broward sheriff said in a press conference that the Nikolas Cruz was born in September 1998, not in May. The shooter’s name is spelled Nikolas, not Nicolas and a check of the voter registration database in Florida using the DOB provided in court records for Nikolas Cruz shows he was not registered to vote in that state.

So Monkey Boy with the Almond Eyes is not a “white supremist?” I’m shocked!

Yes both Drudge and Shemp Smith at Fox seized on the story as if it was a stranger’s crank in a bathroom stall.

And the leader saying the guy was there but he didn't personally know him was also fishy.

Yes, I doubt very much the press contacted him since there was apparently no clues for them to trace back to this group... which means he contacted the press. So, what possible motive could a supposed leader of a virtually unknown group have for semi-claiming a mass murderer and drawing what would theoretically be unwanted law enforcement attention to his group?
