Terrorism Thread: It's Not Just Muslims. That's What They Want You to Think.

Whether or not Cruz trained with the Republic of Florida, it is confirmed that he trained with an NRA-funded shooting group.

CNN got access to an Instagram group chat where he made lots of racist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic comments.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/16/us/ex...oup/index.html

One member even joked about Cruz's particular venomousness, saying that although he hated black people, too, he didn't "to a point I wanna kill the (sic) like nick."

Cruz said he hated black people simply because they were black; Cruz hated Jews because he believed they wanted to destroy the world.

After one member expressed hatred for gay people, Cruz agreed, saying, "Shoot them in the back of head."

White women drew Cruz's hatred as well, specifically those in interracial relationships, whom he referred to repeatedly as traitors.

Lol

So Jereb lied about him being associated with their white supremacy organization

But by coincidence he still was a white supremacist.

That rules

"He seemed nice but also had some mental issues," one member told CNN. "All (I know) is that he likes guns and really hates liberals."

lmao. Sounds like such a nice guy!

I engaged with someone on Twitter today that turned out to have some loyal legion of followers and man, there are some really crazy ideas out there.

Probably the most eye-popping one for me was that the FBI has knowledge of all mass shootings in advance and lets them happen so that it can take our guns away. I guess it didn't work the first 149 times, but 150 is the charm?

Population control, they allow it to happen to weed out the weak who cannot escape. The gunmen are then cut down where they ascend to Valhalla duh.

"gun-whore politicians" is a good line.

To stroke the gun debate a bit more, this apparently happened the same day of the Parkland shooting.

Suspect holds the Faith City Mission with around 100+ people hostage. Other guy wrestles the gun away from him. Police arrive and shoot the guy that stopped the suspect.

Can't go wrong with allowing anyone who has a license under Texas's famously lax gun laws start deciding who does and doesn't get shot.

The solution to guns in schools is guns in schools. Clever of him to preemptively paint anyone who opposes him as in the pocket of special interests.

[archibaldcrane]

Maybe if they weren’t so damn busy with the Russia witch hunt they’d have prevented this! Amirite?

The orange one and his puppets are gonna have a field day with this one.

C'mon, using dead kids as partisan fodder to discredit an investigation into your collusion with a foreign country to swing an election to you isn't so bad.

Some might say if it's what you say, I love it!

I literally can't stop reading everything being written about the teenagers in this parkland shooting. I love teenagers. I got my bachelors in religious studies because I wanted to be a youth pastor. I cry at almost everything I read. I'm heartbroken. I didn't know any of them and don't know anyone in the area. I just can't stop thinking about it.

Some of the responses from kids and teachers who are from the school are brutal. I'd like to think that Trump knows better than to go after the kids and teachers directly, but we all know this will be the inevitable conclusion.

This whole thing is profoundly sad, but I am hopeful seeing these kids have the courage to actually try to change things so that this stops happening.

[Roranora]

the kids seem especially keen to grasp the reins here

good on them, and good luck

Hmm... sounds like he had been making progress. I wonder what would have happened if he couldn't buy an AR-15 in 38 minutes?

[Athas]

AK-15 ey?
