"I WILL NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS OUTSIDE MY RACE"

The Anti-Defamation League has learned that Nikolas Cruz was affiliated with a white supremacist group.

A spokesperson for the white supremacist group Republic of Florida (ROF) told the Anti-Defamation League on Thursday, February 15, that Nikolas Cruz, the man charged with the previous day’s deadly shooting spree at a Parkland, Florida, high school, was associated with his group....

[Jordan] Jereb, based in Tallahassee, is believed to be the leader of ROF....

Jereb said that Cruz was associated with ROF, having been “brought up” by another member. Jereb added that Cruz had participated in one or more ROF training exercises in the Tallahassee area, carpooling with other ROF members from south Florida.

AP adds:

The Republic of Florida website is here. I can't help noticing a fixation on sex and fertility. This is on the ROF homepage:



And of the "10 Codes of ROF," two invoke sex:

2. Allegiance to your race

We pledge our uncorrupted hand to people of European lineage and those who consider themselves our allies. There are those outside of the white race who we will inevitably consider allies, But we must not sexually mix with them or pretend that we have no differences....

5. Sexuality and Partnerships

I will treat women (Or men if your a woman) with respect, Especially those who are acting in official capacity. If I ever engage in recreational sex I will use contraceptives. I will not have sexual relationships outside my Race, Engage in Bestiality or Pedophilia, Or Homosexuality....

(Emphasis added.)

And here's one of ROF's "infographics":



And here's another:



We know that Cruz was expelled from the high school where the massacre took place. One story we've heard is that his anger was directed at an ex-girlfriend and her subsequent boyfriend:

Nikolas Cruz, 19, had been expelled from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School for "disciplinary reasons," Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said, but he insisted he didn’t know the specifics....

Student Victoria Olvera, 17, said Cruz had been abusive to his ex-girlfriend and that his expulsion was over a fight with her new boyfriend.

I don't know what Cruz's motive was, but I won't be surprised if we learn that he was horrified by sexual and romantic "race mixing" at the high school, and possibly on his ex's part. (Remember, Cruz is his adoptive parents' name; he appears to be non-Hispanic white, and clearly thinks of himself that way if he hung out with the ROFers. Or could it be that she's ethnically Hispanic or otherwise "non-European," and he hates himself for once "race mixing" with her?)

Mass shooters frequently begin by killing wives, girlfriends, ex-girlfriends, or mothers. I'm guessing some rage of that kind was involved in this, and possibly some racial rage as well.

By the way, here's another ROF "infographic":



Surprised? Me either.
