Ten Alleged Members Of American Front White Supremacist Group Arrested In Osceola County

Considering playing G.A.F. but this one was too easy.

Police in Central Florida say members of a white supremacist group were plotting to kill Jews, minorities, and immigrants in the area with plans that included an attack on Orlando City Hall. Ten people suspected of being members of American Front were arrested in Osceola County on hate crime and conspiracy charges, including alleged leader Marcus Faella, 39, and his wife Patricia, 36. After 7 arrests over the weekend, 3 men were taken into custody on Tuesday. According to the Orlando Sentinel, the group also discussed how to produce ricin, a highly toxic product of castor bean plants that can be used as a chemical weapon. (SN: I've never even heard of this stuff!) WFTV reports the information that prompted arrests came from an FBI informant who spent two years infiltrating the group, which planned violence "so the media would report on it and bring new members." ... Investigators say the group was conducting paramilitary training with AK-47s and hand-to-hand combat for a race war they believe is impending. Norma Black, the mother of suspect Mark McGowan, Jr., told WFTV that her son is not violent nor a white supremacist, but that the accused met up to “have fun.” “I don’t like illegals and I don’t like these troublesome blacks,” she added, admitting that her 29-year-old son shared her views.

Is it me or is America regressing? This video at the link is worth watching as well. I don't know the hell is going on, but it's gonna be a looooooong election year. Maybe they were waiters.

America's not regressing, 24/7 news and the internet give these people more spotlight and/or a platform to spew the crazy.

The race war has been postponed?

Lame. I'll play some Trials this weekend instead then.

Sort of confused right now about this thread. As to the question of whether it is getting better or worse, things can be getting better overall but you'll always have crazy groups. Add on to that the fact that we are constantly getting these sorts of news stories now, we can't avoid it whereas before people just turned off their televisions or switched the channel.

This wouldn't have happened if Diablo 3 was out.

This is just down the main road from me. There is a bit of hostility in Central Florida, but hardly does it ever get this bad.

I'm 1/32 Cherokee and 31/32 White. In case of a race war, do i still need to side with whitey? Cause i'm totally into nature and mother earth and stuff.

But she is Black.
