    When people say “Don’t California my [insert state]”, they mean this. Idaho is getting all the California discontents who get their CalPERS pension and take it to move to Idaho to fund these white supremacist movements. Yes, there has always been a fertile base of whacky religious ideology because of the Mormon presence, but white Californians who coouldn’t stand the diversity of the state are behind all this.

      Don’t blame it on CA. KKK types have been moving to northern Idaho for decades now. They tried to do a terrorism as a pride march a couple years back and got caught because the police found so many U Haul trucks in the area to be suspicious and checked out a few.

    Regardless of who did it and their ideology, purposefully killing firefighters of all people is literal domestic terrorism.

      Firefighers/EMTs/Paramedics are the true heroes. That’s a “don’t touch” zone.

    Going after the true heroes in a community… Unarmed and only there to help. What an absolute loser. Fucking Idaho.

      Hopefully this will trigger some anti-white-power movements in the northwest. You don’t shoot a firefighter.

    More than 300 law enforcement officers from the city, county, state and federal levels responded to the scene of the shooting, including two helicopters with snipers on board.

    I understand they didn’t know how many attackers were involved initially but this seems like an insane overreaction from law enforcement.

      They’ve released a name now. Wess Roley, 20 years old. Some news sites are reporting that it was the anniversary of the burning of an Aryan Nations camp in 2001. May not be any connection though since it happened years before this guy was born.

        There was rumor that the site of the brush fire was a former Nazi sympathizing group’s camp, that was burned down as part of fire fighter training 20-years ago to the day of the shooting… so, big if true.

    We can probably assume it’s standard republican extremist terrorism like usual. Chance it could be something else though.

    No spreading the cunt’s name.
