I know 2020 is a long way off but one of the FIRST things than needs to happen if there is a Democrat in the WH is to order a nationwide massive law enforcement crackdown on these right wing white supremacists and Nazis. Roll up all of their organizations and treat it like the mafia.
The streets of America need to be a place these dirty filth fear to be. Crush them utterly.
Then those people need to be investigated too. And if law enforcement folks are found to be members then they should have yet more charges thrown at them. Any LEO holding allegiances to white supremacist groups need to have their lives destroyed and their families thrown into the streets. Screw them.
THAT is very sad. Their alt-right friends probably never even knew them.
I think the younger brother was a sad sad case.
Whenever we ‘go into’ these people it just makes me so sad, like (I know it’s nuts to think so) if I could just hug somebody for about 1hr a day they would not get into any of this stuff.
There was no mention of any employment for either brother.
Oh sweet Jesus, all off this is so sad for us as a nation.
And I am positive their family is saying HOW did all this happen?
Are we supposed to think that Teddy suddenly saw what they had gotten involved with and killed himself? There was never actually any activity or quotes from him in this article.
Sorry, I woke up sad today for some reason and this is just all together more sad for me.
I always thought it was the LITERALLY black people bore the Mark of Cain because all black persons were descended from Cain and ‘he’ was turned black as punishment for his killing Abel.
But I may have that mixed up with another ‘origin’ story.
But that explains why Southern Slave Holders felt they were doing the right thing in enslaving black people because they all had to be ‘punished’ for the sin of Can killing Abel.
So many take aways from this. Was there time to simmer this down after Furgeson? And how many others are silently boiling over? And is there some larger aggrieved pool out there or is it just more easy to connect to people, including their worst nature? Like are there more sad and depressed and demoralized people out there that Trump and isis can tap into or is it just that it is easier to connect to them?
Hm…maybe. But they don’t look like tweakers to me. When I lived in the backcountry I came into frequent contact with tweakers and they never had the steady, focused look that these guys have. My ex used to say you can always recognize a tweaker because he’s in the driveway polishing the fender of a car that has its engine in pieces on the ground. That’s also not someone you want in your army.
Franklin rebuffed Jeffrey, but Jeffrey remained obsessed. Two weeks later, he sent Franklin a video labelled “CNN Says White Genocide is ‘THE ONLY SOLUTION,’” which shows Anthony Bourdain telling a German chef over a meal that “the only solution” is a future world “where everyone is so mixed up that you really don’t know who to hate because everybody is so hopelessly intertwined.”
“Do you think it’s okay for people to have this mentality that white people should be bred out of existence???” Jeffrey wrote.
I did something highly unusual for me and read this entire article - normally I am not that interested in digging into all of the potential reasons for people becoming like this - it somehow feels like it is unearned glorification of their racism and hatred. But this particular paragraph jumped out at me. It is such a recurrent theme with these guys, and the term is always breeding. “They are breeding like wild dogs”, “they are breeding us out of existence”, “they are mixing the races with inter-racial breeding”. There is so much to unpack in those kind of statements, and I am not the right person to do it. Let’s just say it is an especially chilling view of humanity, love and family that I will never come close to understanding.
This reminds me of the Tsarnaev (sp?) brothers that did the Boston Marathon bombing. Sounds a little like the older brother was a bad influence on the younger… Maybe the younger couldn’t take being overtly at odds with his brother and took the tragic way out.
“We had this sort of attitude of screw authority.”
Interesting that he would then turn to fascism, which is devout loyalty to an authority figure. I would guess he had a secret desire all along to be conquered utterly by a male authority figure – sort of a male Kate in Shakespeare’s Shrew. Perhaps what he disdained all those years was the failure of the authority figures in his life to totally dominate him.
Law enforcement officials seized multiple guns in connection with the Clark case, as well as kits meant to turn AR-15s into fully automatic. They also found torches consistent with meth use—a substance Clark referenced in his Gab profile.
Court documents said Jeffrey Clark posted a description of himself as a “Meth-Smoking, Pipe bomb making, mailman-murding . . . Che Guevara of the altright.”
Weird looking dudes. I think the Mormon connection is interesting. Some Mormon beliefs, like Smith the golden plates and magic googles that allowed him to read them, seem to me to be a bit out there. To each her/his own, but does being taught these types of things at a young age tend to make one more susceptible to believing in conspiracy theories later in life?
Disenfranchised youth join gangs for a sense of belonging. There’s a sense in which white supremacist groups are gangs, not wildly different from the Crips and Bloods who terrorized Southern California in the 1970s and 80s or ISIS and MS-13 today.
When I hear these kinds of pasty white wet behind the ears neo-nazis talking ‘smack’, I know that Darwin’s Law will deal with their foolishness and hubris. Sadly, all it takes is one totally unhinged nutcase to commit some unspeakably vile act before Darwin can act.
Thanks to Donnie there are no more sharks to jump. Donnie, we owe you. And we will not forget it.
Spencer told TPM that he remembered seeing the brothers at his events but had little interaction with them and “didn’t really remember anything about them.”
Thus, ever, with the white supremacist reichwing, whose watchwords are loyalty, bravery, and standing up for the volk in the face of all opposition. Their noble motto, dating back to the Brave SIr Robin himself: “Run away!!!”
