Trump the Hero of the Haters

Trump is the hero of the haters. They used to lurk in the shadows at secret meetings in the woods but now they are getting permits and marching down city streets with their torches, bats, shields, helmets and guns plowing cars into crowds with the intent of killing people. How did this happen? Is America going to be that divided? What happened to the allegiance and bonding of all colors after the 911 tragedy? Now the KKK, Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists have   power. They became bold in 1984 when a group of 6 men held up a Brink’s truck and escaped with $3.6 million dollars.  A year later the government was able to trace where some of the cash went. It was Neo-Nazis who shared the money for their causes.

The stolen money went to Glenn Miller, a leader in the North Carolina Ku Klux Klan who received $300,000 dollars. Another aggressive leader Thomas Metzger, a former California Klansman got $250,000 dollars. William Pierce, the leader of a Neo-Nazi group called the National Alliance in Washington got $50,000 dollars. Richard Girnt Butler, the 65 year old head of the group called the Aryan Nations received $40,000 dollars. Much of the stolen money was unaccounted for but the gunmen targeted the Brinks truck and stole the money to fund the start of the next Civil War. Is that where we are today?

The 6 robbers were part of a gang called The Order who is known for killing a Jewish talk radio host in Denver in in 1984. Most of the crimes were about stealing money. They robbed banks all along the west coast to fund a violent movement with weapons. Like last week even then their goal is to have a “white’s only homeland.” There was even a couple a year later who held up a school and took 150 children hostage and demanded multi-millions of dollars that they said they would use to finance a White Supremacists Revolution. 74 children suffered burns when one of their homemade bombs exploded.

America has a tradition with these kinds of hate groups. Trump’s father was a member of a hate group. The Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 killed 168 people. In 2012 a Sikh temple shooting suspect,   Wade Michael Page was a white supremacists. He shot and killed 6 people and wounded 4 others. In 2015 a teen shot and killed 9 people in a Baptist Church. He said he killed black people hoping to start a race war. This state of mind seems to be getting worse over time. In February 2017 two Indian guys were shot in a Kansas Bar   simply as a hate crime. In March a black man in midtown Manhattan was stabbed and said he just wanted to kill black people. In May two girls on a train in Portland, Oregon    were killed and the murderer said he wanted to kill Muslims.  In May a black student in Maryland got killed 3 days before he was to graduate and was commissioned to be a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. The white student who killed him was a member of on line hate groups.

This past weekend we all know what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia and Trump says at the time’ it was hate on both sides, both sides” Trump needs to step up and order a FBI Investigation into the rise of hate groups and their crimes. How will that happen when his inner circle are members of hate groups like Bannon and the man never says the word Peace!
