Alt Right murder at Maryland campus - BmorePat87 - 05-22-2017 An alleged member of the Alt-Right at the University of Maryland went up to a visiting student from Bowie State and stabbed him in the chest, killing him. The victim, who was black, was a senior and ROTC member who was just commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Army. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-umd-stabbing-arrest-20170521-story.html The FBI is looking to see if hate crime charges should be filed. Terrible situation here in Maryland. A man who looked to be headed for good things in service of his nation having his life senselessly ended by some hateful loser. RE: Alt Right murder at Maryland campus - michaelsean - 05-22-2017 Jesus. Since he was already commissioned, maybe they can tack something else on like terrorism so he can end up in one of those Uni-bomber prisons. RE: Alt Right murder at Maryland campus - Millhouse - 05-22-2017 CNN said he was part of a group known as 'Alt Reich', which is a facebook group. This poses a question, should groups like this that are pro-Nazi be allowed? Personally I dont because they specifically forfeited their right to exist for the atrocities committed in WW2. But that is just me. http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/22/us/university-of-maryland-stabbing/index.html RE: Alt Right murder at Maryland campus - BmorePat87 - 05-22-2017 (05-22-2017, 02:50 PM)Millhouse Wrote: CNN said he was part of a group known as 'Alt Reich', which is a facebook group. As long as you're not promoting violence, your hate is protected. Of course, so many times it ultimately results in violence.

But when it comes to the Nazis specifically, I dont agree because of the wholesale amount of murder and genocide they committed in just a few short years. But groups like the KKK then I would agree, because they didn't try to exterminate everyone that wasn't a 'white arian'. There is a difference in the levels of hate between the two though some shared ideology. ps. I know it wont happen, just my opinion and I understand the can of worms that would open. I just hold Nazis to be the worst of the worst in human history, and they have no right to have a say in the world for what they did.

RE: Alt Right murder at Maryland campus - TheLeonardLeap - 05-23-2017 See my thread about why the death penalty isn't all bad. This is another example.

The loser forfeited his right to exist. |
