Neo-Nazis converge in Orlando, declaring white supremacy days after Jacksonville mass shooting

Displays of white supremacy seen across parts of Orlando this weekend have signaled a reminder to many of the NAACP’s warnings about the state growing increasingly hostile under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis. On Saturday (Sept. 2), several Neo-Nazis were observed as they participated in a “March of the Redshirts” with Swatsika flags, Hitler salutes, and chants.

The state’s Anti-Defamation League (ADL) identified the extremist groups seen at Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs as the Goyim Defense League and the Blood Tribe. There were about 51 people gathered over a bridge dressed in a uniform that consisted of a red shirt, black pants, and black masks. Some of their chants included “White power,” “Jews will not replace us,” and “We are everywhere.”

Florida Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, who represents District 42, said the display was “absolutely disgusting stuff and another example of the far right extremism growing in [Florida]” as she captured footage shared on Twitter. A similar scene unfolded outside of Disney World, where an antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ+ demonstration was executed by the Order of the Black Sun, the Aryan Freedom Network, and 14 First members.

The controversial gatherings come just one week after 21-year-old Ryan Christopher Palmeter targeted and killed three Black people at a Jacksonville Dollar General. Authorities say the gunman used an AR-15-style rifle that had white Swastikas drawn on it in the racially motivated attack. The tragedy is currently being investigated as a hate crime by the FBI.

Make no mistake---Gov Desantis is probably happy to see them.

None of them were interested in opening Day of College football and all those white cheerleaders and white fans supporting the black athletes that were winning games for their Favorite college. And fuck education by the way. They are teaching whites to love blacks and CRT and gays and History and that Hitler lost.

He's one of them. Why is this not obvious? Everything he has done so far indicates that he loves these people. I would not be surprised if he told them to go there. This is no longer an issue of freedom of speech. These people are anti-American and went there to intimidate and threaten people. That is NOT freedom of speech. It is terrorism. And how many kids saw this? They had to be scared out of their minds.

40. I just finished watching 42, the movie about Jackie Robinson breaking the colour barrier in baseball
Mon Sep 4, 2023, 12:45 AM
Sep 2023

And it was literally shocking to watch the scene where, early in the season, the coach of a rival team stands outside the dugout taunting Jackie with racist insults, the N word and so much more. It was shocking because I was thinking how there was a time, not so long ago, when it was considered perfectly normal and acceptable to shout out such words in public, and to reflect on how much the world has changed.

And then I see this video and see the same kind of sick hateful people shouting out the same words. Makes me wonder if we’ve made much progress at all.
