Prieto was a vendor at gun shows in Prescott and would trade firearms from his personal collection, using only cash deals or trades to evade the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, the affidavit says, adding that this was corroborated through monitoring with the help of the source.
Maybe we should actually regulate gun shows…
Maybe we should actually regulate gun shows…
Pftt. Yeah sure.
Then how will the criminals and lunatics get weapons easily that live in blue states with strict gun laws?
Nobody ever thinks about the lunatics.
This would limit the spreading of white supremacy more than I think most would expect, the online side is a tougher nut to crack but gun shows are the wild fucking west, I attended some with friends who’s parents went when I was a kid and some wild shit flies
I love how this is completely legal but they still try to frame it as evasion.
It’s legal to buy fertiliser. But if you buy enough to blow up the twin towers, and hide that purchasing from the authorities, I have a hunch they’d be interested in you.
What is scale???
I find it interesting that guys like this who want to start a race war always think that this is the thing that’s going to do it. Like we’ve made it through all the other hate crimes, injustices and large scale protests without erupting into a race war, but one more incident will do the trick.
Also interesting is how closely his plan is tied to the election. He isn’t just trying to send a message before the election, he specifically thinks that his side needs a specific outcome in the election for his plan to succeed. This plan seems to be a direct consequence of current political environment and the messages coming from his preferred candidate and his supporters.
Now the article doesn’t actually say which candidate needs to win in order to embolden violent white supremacists. But if you need 2 guesses, you should probably consider going back into the coma you’ve been in for the past decade, you’re not going to like the future.
He’s clearly insane, but you’re right, it’s still interesting how his “logic” works.
It’s scary that these psychos think violence is the answer to their perceived problems. There’s a line from The Boys that talks about this, I’m paraphrasing: they would rather see themselves as warriors against “secret forces of evil” than the lonely forgettable losers they are.
It’s even more frightening to me that they live in some fantasy world where they think they can win a race war. Nobody here would win that. We’d all lose, and some other hostile nation would take full advantage of our domestic self-destruction. I’m worried it’s not a fringe notion. I’m worried a significant percentage are deluding themselves along these lines of violent planning.
As corny as it sounds…United We Stand, Divided We Fall…is still true.
they would rather see themselves as warriors against “secret forces of evil” than the lonely forgettable losers they are.
Tried to find the quote or the episode, but couldn’t. That’s a good line, nonetheless.
S04E02, ~33min into episode. Conversation between Firecracker and Sister Sage.
Firecracker:
Purpose. I sell purpose. These people got nothing. Maybe they lost a job or a house or a kid to Oxy. Politicians don’t give a shit, mainstream media tells them to be ashamed of their skin color, so, well, I bring 'em together, tell them a story, give them a purpose. Which would you rather believe? That you belong to a community of warriors battling a secret evil, or that you’re a lonely, inconsequential nobody that no one will ever remember?
Didn’t realize it’s the new episodes, can’t fall behind even a couple days lol.
Thank you!
They’ve been radicalised to become extremists. It can happen to anybody. It’s easier with badly educated people. In fact, a lot of Lemmy users are on their way as well.
“Extremist” is a pointless word in this context. Who’s not extreme about something that matters, like human rights? That doesn’t make a person the same as a white supremacist just because they have a firm conviction.
Too bad you guys are so divided then.
BoTh SiDeS aRe ThE sAmE!
They’re basing that mindset on white supremacist fiction like the Turner diaries. William Luther Pierce should’ve been shot instead of being allowed to die at an old age from kidney disease in a trailer park.
They all think they’re in the Turner Diaries
According to the affidavit, Prieto said: “The reason I say Atlanta. Why, why is Georgia such a f------up state now? When I was a kid that was one of the most conservative states in the country. Why is it not now? Because as the crime got worse in L.A., St. Louis, and all these other cities, all the [N-words] moved out of those [places] and moved to Atlanta. That’s why it isn’t so great anymore. And they’ve been there for a couple, several years.”
Yes, black people have only been around in significant numbers in Atlanta for a couple years.
Certified stable genius.
Aaaaaaand… the word “terrorist” doesn’t appear once in that article.
I guess NBC didn’t think him brown enough.
The only race war I’m interested in is one involving that BRZ in the background
I owe you a ten second car…
Stay fuckin trashy Yavapai. I wish people like this were less common there and over in Mohave county (Would recommend looking up “Kingman Mosque” for a really great Sacha Baron Cohen bit). The desert, like desert desert, not Phoenix desert, drives people insane. The sun baked their brains.
