The 21-year-old who killed 17-year-olds Casey Jordan Marquez and Francisco Fernandez when he opened fire at Aztec High School in New Mexico has been identified as William Atchison.
CNN reports that Atchison had been previously investigated by the FBI in March 2016 after troubling comments he made online
In November, Atchison wrote on Steam, How am I supposed to function in this world? Wherever I go, I see degeneracy. Pointless materialism, hedonism, sexual decay, dirty n**gers who do nothing but slowly break down this society etc. its fucking everywhere. No way to escape it, 99% of people are part of it and whatever I do I am confronted with the death of the West. Go to the store and buy groceries in peace? Nope, heres a group of LGBT liberal filth in line with you. And theres a n**ger family with 10 kids over there. And a Finn too, but hes overweight as fuck and hes buying alcohol and shit junk food. Fucking fantastic.

On YouTube, Atchison admitted he posted anonymously on pro-Trump, white-supremacist sites like 4chans /pol/ board or The Daily Stormer, but gave up when domain registrars kept shutting down The Daily Stormers domain names. He, along with most of The Daily Stormers community, said the sites were shoad, an anti-Semitic slur.

White terrorists are always self-radicalized, with a history of mental illness, and they act alone.
Certainly they're not answering a call to violence by the idiot racist fuckhead currently occupying the White House. No way.

(13,081 posts)YES, THE RABID WOLVES IN OUR NATIONAL PARK KEEP MAULING HIKERS, BUT THE WOLVES ARE ALL ACTING INDIVIDUALLY SO WERE NOT REALLY SEEING A PATTERN HERE
BOB VULFOV
First off, our thoughts and prayers go out to the latest hiker who was mauled by a lone wolf in our national park. The rabid wolf in question acted completely on its own. This foaming-at-the-mouth wolf was part of a one-wolf cell of resistance. We have no reason to believe the attack perpetrated by this specific bloodthirsty wolf can in any way be linked to the hundreds of other wolf-related and rabies-related incidents reported in our national park over the past few years.
To be clear, we do not currently have a problem with a growing population of killer, deranged wolves slowly taking over our park and eating everything in sight. It may look like we do based on the facts and the evidence, but that is a straw man argument. Theres no pattern here from which we can learn and prevent further maulings, so stop looking for one among the countless rabid wolves terrorizing our park.
We really shouldnt even be discussing this particular mauling right now. It just happened, so by immediately trying to connect the dots and call attention to our parks rapidly ballooning population of delirious murder-wolves, you are politicizing a tragedy. And, since these lone wolf incidents seem to be happening on a biweekly basis, you shouldnt ever talk about them. Look, were all frustrated that the wolves in our park continue to act individually in such horrible ways. But, we also cant talk about it or do anything of substance to prevent it in the future because that sort of thing is liberal politicization.

(100,149 posts)That's what makes them losers - they are too engrossed in their own self sense of superiority that they really can't see how inferior they are,
Christopher Titus had a great point on his podcast recently that the people who are the most racist are the people with the worst jobs. The bus boys, the janitors, gas station attendants, the guys who clean shit up. You don't see too many Harvard educated attorneys who are hardcore racists. So true.
