A state of emergency has been declared in Florida ahead of a controversial college event featuring Richard Spencer, the infamous white nationalist who helped organize the deadly rallies in Charlottesville.
Gov. Rick Scott made the move Monday, issuing an executive order as officials prepared to deal with the fallout from Spencer’s speaking engagement.
“I find that the threat of a potential emergency is imminent and hereby declare a state of emergency in Alachua County,” Scott wrote in the order.
Spencer, 39, is scheduled to speak at the University of Florida on Thursday. He will also be addressing issues during a question-and-answer session, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Floridians reportedly are furious about the event, with protests already taking place in Gainesville.
You know a racist has stepped over a line when even Florida does not want him around.
As it turned out there were far more protesters than supporters.
During the speech Spencer was heckled and shouted down, which ultimately forced him to just give up.Protesters likely to exceed supporters of white nationalist Richard Spencer today in Gainesville.

He was eventually forced to beat an early retreat as protesters drowned him out with chants of "go home Spencer."
Well it looks like the score is 1 for the ale brewery and 0 for the white supremacist.

ReplyDeleteAs a Floridian, glad to see the governor do something right for once. Rare, but right.
ReplyDeleteI guess because it is near Gainesville a college town. Most of rural Florida is racist as fuck as well.

“Fundamentally, RAM operates like an alt-right street-fighting club,” "Law enforcement has a mixed record when it comes to anticipating and confronting the challenge of white supremacist violence." law enforcement doesn’t comprehend the threat posed by this latest iteration of the white supremacist movement.
“it is organized criminal activity.”
"“But what good is the truth when the law doesn’t give a shit?”" “They like to go to rallies and beat up Communists.”
"he’s trying to create a “conservative counter-culture” as an antidote to the “complete degeneracy” of contemporary American life and “the left-wing ideology that’s poisoning the youth.”“your life should be dedicated to God and country and your people.”" law enforcement agencies are struggling to keep up with RAM and the scores of other extremist outfits that have emerged"
" Vincent James Foxx, a 31-year-old video blogger and livestreamer with a fondness for white supremacists and radical right-wing politics." The Red Elephants, had become RAM’s unofficial propagandist." "Foxx wasn’t just documenting the violence at the rally — he was inciting it. On video Foxx posted to YouTube, he can be heard repeatedly encouraging RAM members and others to assault people. “Get that fucking cuck!” he screamed when a RAM member and four or five other men grabbed a counter-protester and began beating him. “Charge!” Foxx yelled as a mob of right-wingers went on the offensive."
"“From the second we got there it was just chaos,” said the RAM leader. “People like to say we’re Nazis and stuff, but all the people we’ve beaten up are white college kids.”
“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”"Segal said RAM is quite representative of what he called the “new alt-right youth brigades.”"
