| William Edward Atchison |
In real life, William Edward Atchison—people called him Bill—lived in a little yellow house with his parents, about a mile away from the Giant gas station where he worked and from Aztec High School, where he shot and killed two students and then himself last Thursday.
At the murder scene, police found a thumb drive with a note that read, “If things go according to plan, today would be when I die. I go somewhere and gear up, then hold a class hostage and go apeshit, then blow my brains out.”
He wrote “work sucks, school sucks, life sucks. I just want out of this shit.”
And yet online, the 21-year-old New Mexico resident lived a prolific life as a white supremacist, pro-Trump meme peddler who was most known for his obsession with school shooters. For a half-decade, Atchison spent most of his days online, repeatedly posting threats of violence and cries for help.
When users saw posts from Atchison, who went by dozens of names like “Adam Lanza” and “Future Mass Shooter” on both larger platforms like YouTube and racist communities like The Daily Stormer, they would often ask how his manifesto was going.
This kid literally spent most of his time online obsessed with school shooters and asking for hep to fix his life.
And yet he seems not to have been on the radar of any law enforcement officials.
Could that simply be because he was white?
As it turned out the two kids he killed, Casey Marquez and Francisco Fernandez, were non-whites so it would seem that this could indeed be racially motivated.
The FBI has been saying for decades that the White Supremacist and militia groups were far more dangerous than terrorist groups from overseas, and clearly this is yet another example to prove that point.
These two young people should not have died, and if their attacker had been a Muslim kid name Abdul they probably wouldn't have.
" shocking content brought the FBI to Atchison’s door in 2016.
ReplyDelete"Acting on a tip that Atchison had posted a comment on a gaming forum asking users where he could get “a cheap assault rifle” for a mass shooting, the FBI interviewed him and his family, and ultimately determined that no crime had been committed and closed the investigation.
“He was cooperative,” Albuquerque FBI Special Agent Terry Wade said at a press conference last week. “He told us that he enjoyed trolling on the internet.
“The agents specifically asked him if he had plans about conducting attacks and expressed the seriousness that we take these type of things. He assured us that he had no such plans,” Wade said.
Atchison described the visit on his YouTube channel, writing in a comment, “I was part of the trolling and lulz... the feds investigated me cus some fag reported my profile to troll me... they said they didn’t think I was a serious threat and understood the satire…”"Two years before the FBI visited his home, and three years before he killed two people in a New Mexico high school, Atchison pleaded for advice on how to fix his life."
"He called his father a “fat lazy idiot who watches fox news all day” and his mother “a psycho hillbilly drunk from florida who’s really mentally ill.”
Two years before the FBI visited his home, and three years before he killed two people in a New Mexico high school, Atchison pleaded for advice on how to fix his life.
“Look, I’m sorry if I’m rude and hateful or anything, but I don’t know what to do. I’ve lived no life for nearly 19 years, most of which was in the miserable ass sun-belt. Did you know new mexico has the fourth highest suicide rate?” "“Should I escape this dump or deal with it? How can I become polite and make some friends out there in this world?”
Over 230 people viewed the post. No one responded."
TOMORROW ON 60 MINUTES!

"You couldn't handle the mental stress that comes along with white nationalism, so you took the easy way out. But what is so disgusting about you is that rather than just leave white nationalism behind, you decided to devote your time to undermining your own race,"""I hope you know that you are 100 times worse than the Jews you've surrounded yourself with,"
"Scott Pelley will feature Picciolini's journey from a neo-Nazi who hated African-Americans and Jewish people so much that he committed acts of violence against them to reformer who says he has counseled 200 racists to change their ways. In the report, Picciolini describes writing to Roof with hope he might also be receptive."

ReplyDelete"The Wisconsin Republican is running to replace House Speaker Paul Ryan, who might not be seeking re-election. Nehlen campaigned in Alabama recently for Roy Moore, the Senate nominee accused of sexual misconduct, who suffered a historic defeat Tuesday. Nehlen claims to have raised “six figures” for the Moore campaign.
Nehlen was a speaker Monday at Moore’s campaign rally in Midland City, Alabama. He took the stage wearing the red “Make America great again” cap and warned the crowd that “we’re engaged in a spiritual battle.” Moore was the only one, he said, who could “drain that swamp” up in D.C.
Only two days earlier, on Dec. 9, Nehlen was a guest on an anti-Semitic white power podcast called “Fash the Nation,” talking to hosts “Jazzhands McFeels” and “Marcus Halberstram” for about an hour. (“Fash” is shorthand among the so-called alt-right, a loose association of white nationalists, for “fascist.”)"
In Alabama voters had to choose between a Democrat an a Pedophile.
In Wisconsin they are going to have to choose between a Democrat and a Nazi.
What *is* this country coming to?
We wouldn't be here if it weren't for Trump. Who wouldn't be president if it weren't for Palin. Who wouldn't have been chosen if it weren't for McCain, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, ad nauseam.
Jesus was a liberal.
DeleteMerry Christmas, $arah, and not for one moment do I think you don't cash out taxes for Trig. That poor kid; he deserved better than "the puppy arrived."
School shootings with only two dead barely make the news at all, especially if the victims aren't white. This country disgusts me someones, much more often now that the Colonel Bonespurs is squatting in the White House.

DeleteI’m a New Mexican, but from the southern part of the state where the majority of people are Hispanic. Aztec is not a “white” community. The 3 cultures are prevalent. No idea if there is prejudice there. I drive through Aztec often. So sad this idiot did not get the help he needed, and murdered 2 innocents and forever changed many peoples lives.
ReplyDeleteOver 100 school shootings since Sandy Hook, yet our "leaders" seem to think that's okay.

ReplyDeletePlease explain exactly what you mean by that baffling statement?
