Frazier Glenn Cross, the man who allegedly gunned down three victims at Jewish establishments, is no stranger to hatred.
CNN reports that
Cross is “the founder and former leader of the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the White Patriot Party.” After being
apprehended for these shootings, Cross sat in a patrol car shouting “Heil Hitler!”
This alleged killer has “posted extensively” within online hate-promoting forums that advocate the extermination of Jews.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) sued him decades ago for illegally operating a “paramilitary organization” and for “intimidating African-Americans.” He then went on to plot “the assassination of SPLC founder Morris Dees.”
For those who think “it cannot happen here,” anti-Semitism is unfortunately still very much alive in America – so much so that the Anti-Defamation League warns Jewish establishments to maintain additional security during this precarious time
of year (Passover – as well as Hitler’s April 20th birthday).
