I'm going to assume some people still need more evidence that the evil scourge of racism is still a major problem in this country. White Nationalism still the #1 domestic terrorist threat in the United States.

Wait, how do we know this wasn’t blm or antifa?! I’m guessing they were trying to setup the good guys, the white supremists.

I think what you really need is to arm the clergy. Then the priests could just pew pew the bad guys. More guns.

Jesus approves of this message.

‘Do-it-yourself terrorism’: Neo-Nazi accused of firebombing Geauga County church highlights rise in white supremacist activity in Ohio

The firebombing of a Geauga County church by a neo-Nazi highlights the rise in white supremacist activity in Ohio, experts said.

On Oct. 11, Alliance police spotted him placing White Lives Matter fliers on cars, including police cruisers. He carried a large hunting knife and an expandable baton and told police he owned a gun.

Penny told officers that he was there to spread the “word” that Black Americans were the “problem.” He said he wanted to educate people about Black people committing violence on white people and blamed Black people solely for committing violence in the country, according to court records.

Penny said he looked forward to a race war in America and that the United States would not prosper unless all other races — which he called “weaknesses” — were eliminated. As he left, officers noted his car was filled with White Lives Matter fliers.

On March 4, he and a group of about five other White Lives Matter members, including a Neo-Nazi who was on federal probation, hung up fliers in Wadsworth ahead of a drag queen story event. Penny yelled at officers, who noted that he had arrived there with his father.

A week later, hundreds of Neo-Nazis and other white supremacists showed up at the drag event at Memorial Park. Penny joined in, wearing military-style gear, a tactical vest and a jacket with a patch showing a firearm, according to an FBI affidavit.

The group shouted, “Heil Hitler,” carried guns and swastika flags and hurled racial and homophobic slurs.
