Doubts Grow About Claims Florida Shooter Tied to White Supremacist Group
Breitbart ^ | 15 Feb 2018 | Joel Pollak

Posted on 02/16/2018 6:13:10 AM PST by xzins

There are increasing doubts about claims that the suspect in Wednesday’s mass shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida was tied to a white supremacist group, the Republic of Florida (ROF).

The Tallahassee Democrat quoted local law enforcement officials as saying they had no evidence linking Cruz to the ROF:

Local law enforcement sources have not found a connection between accused Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz and a Tallahassee-based paramilitary group.

Leon County law enforcement sources told the Tallahassee Democrat that they could not find information linking Cruz, 19, to the Republic of Florida Militia, as claimed by the group’s self-proclaimed leader Jordan Jereb.

His comments to the Anti-Defamation League and The Associated Press set off a media firestorm Thursday at about midday that Cruz was connected to the alt-right, white nationalist group.

Even left-wing reporters and pundits — hardly shy to link mass shooters with the far-right — began to doubt the story.

So he murders mostly white people, so he’s a white nationalist says the media. Second, so why does the media label being white and being a nationalist a bad thing? Why?

Sort of hard to make him out to be a white supremacist when he’s gunning down whites.

Despite what the msm has been reporting, and as we all suspected, it finally came out this morning he has a long history with the police. Well, of course he did. That was a given.

Jordan Jereb is well known local nutcase. His “Republic of Florida” milita has a membership of one. The fact that any MSM outlet would even report his comments, show how desperate they are to have this shooter to have a white nationalist connection.

The MSM throws that stuff out there and then blasts it.

Old Dem trick. Miss-state your opponent’s position then criticize them for it................

It’s possible to hardened without looking like a bunker.

But, we had a bunker once as an HQ building.

It was so cool. Little bit of it above ground, and the remainder stretched out over half an acre. Hallways, ventilation, cheap air conditioning, heat, etc. (Schools could save utilities money big time.)

Always made me want an underground house. :>)

They really mean white supremacist, but then morphed that into white nationalist when some wanted to have their own nation amidst the USA.

But I am a nationist, because they have corrupted the word “nationalist”.

And I am white according to them. Although white, black, red, yellow humans are not the colors white, black, red, or yellow.

The Left ties everything to White supremacy because it promotes Minority Supremacy. NONE of the 17 victims killed was Black, which should debunk this lie.

Thanks xzins. Doubts grow about alleged news organizations who say "doubts grow" about something that is blatantly false, or for which there was never any basis in the first place. So much for Brietbart.

Remember, the original report was authored by the media WITHOUT proof, they wanted that pointed out quickly. Once said, it “sticks”, ask the Clinton’s. Now “why” does that surprise anyone? Is he a demodummie or a repub, anyone know for certain?

Utter complete bullcrap, more than likely this kid was doomed from the start, not known yet but I’m betting he is foreign born, possibly mother had alcohol problems during pregnancy, he gets adopted by a US family, probably doped to hell to keep him in check. I’ve seen his type often, total society resentment, often turn into serial killers.

Reminds me of the way they talked about Randy Weaver...it was always "white separatist Randy Weaver" any time he was mentioned. Apparently we were supposed to hear that as "white supremacist" even though he wasn't; he just wanted to hang with his own kind.
