A bit more on the Republic of Florida:

What Is the Republic of Florida? Alleged School Shooter Nikolas Cruz Linked to White Supremacist Group

Nikolas Cruz, the man charged with killing 17 students during a deadly shooting at a Florida high school on Wednesday, trained with the white supremacist group the Republic of Florida (ROF), according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

A spokesman for the ROF, Jordan Jereb, told the ADL Thursday that Cruz had been a member of his group. A discussion on the forum 4chan also described Cruz as a member of the ROF.

A 2015 report from the Southern Poverty Law Center described Jereb as the leader of ROF and said that he had spent months posting numerous videos warning of a “tyrannical global power running the world.” Jereb has described himself as an “right-wing extremist nut.” He was charged in 2016 for having threatened a staff member of Florida Governor Rick Scott.

Three former classmates told ABC News that the shooter Cruz was seen with Jereb and was a part of the ROF. Jereb told the ADL that his group had not ordered Cruz to shoot up the school.

Retweeting videos of actual things Trump says? Makes sense.... Different motivation, but same source. Totally makes sense.

The problem is far deeper than many of you are making it out to be. These shootings did NOT OCCUR in the past and there were guns everywhere. You could buy guns at Target when I worked there as a teenager, rifles and handguns. No waiting period.

This liberal Utopia people are trying to force on us is killing us.
Totally agree.

I do have to laugh at posters getting teary eyed listening to this bag of wind. What perfect marks these cultists are.
Exactly, horrible generic speech. Does absolutely nothing to solve our mass killing issue.

Yet, there will no doubt be some here in this forum who will try to spin these groups as just "good people."
