Reports have connected the two Las Vegas shooters to neo-Nazi imagery, but a sheriff’s official said on Monday that the couple might not be white supremacists. Instead, their ideology appeared to connect police authorities with Nazi oppression.
Clark County assistant sheriff Kevin McMahill told reporters at a press conference that the shooters placed a swastika on one of the two Las Vegas police officers they shot and killed Sunday at a local restaurant. The pair went on to shoot and kill another person before killing themselves.
But McMahill cautioned against presuming that the couple were neo-Nazis or white supremacists.
“One of the things that we believe at this point with the swastika is that we don’t necessarily believe that they are white supremacists or associated with the Nazi movement,” he said.
“We believe they equate government and law enforcement with fascism and those that support with Nazis,” he continued. “They believe that law enforcement is the oppressor and they are associated with the Nazi movement.”
The apparent Facebook page of Jerad Miller, who was identified as one of the shooters alongside his wife Amanda, featured extreme anti-government views.
“FALSE FLAG!!”
Seriously, this has been the response from the brainiacs who inhabit the underbelly of comment sections everywhere.
They outright refuse to accept the outcome of their own eliminationist rhetoric. Sad, cowardly little men and women.
That’s O.K. “Barking mad right wing sociopath nut-jobs influenced by the right-wing hate machine” works for me
Well, duh! As surely as day follows night, every episode of right wing terrorism, like every mass shooting, will be followed by three things:
Contentions by the nutbaggers and ammosexuals that No True Patriot/Responsible Gun Owner would do such a thing.
Contentions that the whole thing is a made up False Flag Operation by Obummer/the Men in Black/ACORN; and,
An obscenely, gut churningly, offensive missive from Sarah Palin, just as the story is starting to fade which both viciously slanders liberals/the media/Others while claiming the mantle of victimhood for herself and, if she’s feeling generous, all Real Americans.
The word on that guy’s hat kinda sums him up.
They love full-on Nazi identifiers and celebrate symbols of inhuman uses of power but hate the overbearing Nazi cops.
This is called: Nazi adolescence.
