RIchard Britten Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) Already the bots are out in force on social media platforms claiming the shooter (Santino William Legan) is a Muslim Iranian immigrant (his grandfather, Thomas Legan, is from the Santa Clara area and was a county supervisor). The weapon he used is an AK-47 "style" weapon which is banned in California but perfectly legal in Nevada. "The owner of Big Mike’s Gun and Ammo, a gun store in Fallon, Nev., posted onFacebook that Legan had ordered the rifle online and picked it up at the store. “I did not know this individual. He ordered the rifle off my internet page. When I did see him, he was acting happy and showed no reasons for concern. I would never ever sell any firearm to anyone who acted wrong or looks associated with any bad group like white power,” Police say they are unsure to his motive, however, his posting of exerts from “Might Is Right” by Ragnar Redbeard, a delusional right wing bigoted hate piece from the 1890's attempting to justify slavery, xenophobia and racism, suggest what anyone with half a brain cell can work out for themselves; he is another "good people on both sides" type the President seems to defend on a daily basis.

The Sky morons invented "rolling" news and so all the others, including the BBC, now have to have similar. They have to fill those 24 hours a day with something. And not even you AT could possibly claim what's happened isn't "newsworthy" or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not an isolated incident, this is part of a larger right wing movement globally. The UK is a flood with US designed propaganda and hate speech, hence we see the likes of Robinson getting US funding to whip up hatred. Stick your head in the sand, but this is world news.

RIchard Britten Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 You only have to look at the language used by the Right Wing (especially prominent ones like Farage and Trump): Invasion Vermin Degenerates They are dog whistling the Alt_right and extremists into action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine (white male) in the UK has a fiance who is of Asian origin and a muslim. They have been the subject of racist vandalism and petty actions simply because of her race/beliefs. Having met her several times I can tell you that she is very upset by this. She is also not an extremist. She is a normal person trying to live her life and be a good neighbour .
