In the hours and days following incidents like the tragic school shooting at a South Florida high school on Wednesday, incomplete and inaccurate reports tend to quickly flood social media and news outlets. On Thursday, the American Defamation League (ADL) connected the 19-year-old suspected shooter to a white supremacist Florida-based group called Republic of Florida.
“A spokesperson for the white supremacist group Republic of Florida (ROF) claimed to 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,” reported the ADL.
