Alexandre Bissonnette
NewsOne Staff
April 24, 2018


Canadian prosecutors presented their case on April 16 for a long prison sentence against the 28-year-old man, Alexandre Bissonnette, who confessed to attacking a Quebec City mosque in January 2017. They offered evidence showing that Trump was among the group of right-wing extremists and conspiracy theorists that he followed obsessively online. Among the evidence, Bissonnette, who pleaded guilty to six counts of first-degree murder and six counts of attempted murder, appeared in a selfie wearing a red Make America Great Again cap. Prosecutors noted that he searched for President Trump’s comments 819 times across Twitter, Google, and other online sources.

A Canadian man who killed worshippers in a Quebec City mosque in 2017 has been sentenced to life in prison. Alexandre Bissonnette, 29, will be eligible for parole in 40 years. On the evening of 29 January, 2017, Bissonnette stormed into the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre and shot at those gathered for prayers, killing six and seriously injuring five others, including Aymen Derbali, who is now paralysed. In March, Bissonnette admitted to killing Khaled Belkacemi, 60, Azzedine Soufiane, 57, Abdelkrim Hassane, 41, Mamadou Tanou Barry, 42, Aboubaker Thabti, 44, and Ibrahima Barry, 39, in the January attack. He also pleaded guilty to six counts of attempted murder, including one count for the 35 people who were present in the mosque at the time of the shooting but who were not injured. "I am ashamed of what I did," he told a Quebec courtroom at the time. "I am not a terrorist, I am not an Islamophobe."

Gregory A. Bush Faith Karimi, CNN, October 28, 2018

(CNN) A white man who allegedly killed two people at a Kroger grocery store in Kentucky tried to enter a predominantly black church nearby minutes before the fatal shooting, police said. The two people killed Wednesday -- Maurice Stallard and Vickie Jones -- were shot in the grocery store and the parking lot, respectively. CNN affiliate WDRB described both victims as black. Police arrested suspect Gregory A. Bush, 51, shortly after the shooting, which happened in the Louisville suburb of Jeffersontown.

Surveillance video showed that 10 to 15 minutes before the grocery store shooting, Bush tried to enter the First Baptist Church in Jeffersontown, police Chief Sam Rogers said. A church member sitting in the parking lot saw the suspect banging on and pulling the door, trying to get inside, the affiliate reported.

"To think that an hour and a half earlier, we had 70 people in the church," church administrator Billy Williams told the affiliate. "But by the time he came through, all doors were locked, and there were probably eight or 10 still in the building." When Bush was unable to enter the church, he went to Kroger and opened fire in the store, killing Stallard, 69, police said. The suspect then fled the store and shot a second victim, Jones, 67, in the parking lot, according to authorities.

Synagogue Shooting Highlights History of Hate In Pittsburgh
Christopher Mathias, HuffPost US
PITTSBURGH — In August 2018, a 24-year-old white man named Jordan Rocco posted a video to Instagram in which he described how he was going to play a game: He was going to see how many times he could say “n****r” before getting kicked out of bars. A few hours later, he was denied entry to the Little Red Corvette bar on Pittsburgh’s popular North Shore. Unprovoked, he then allegedly attacked two black men on the sidewalk, fatally stabbing 24-year-old Dulane Cameron Jr. Among the many white supremacist posts later discovered on Rocco’s Facebook page was this: “What do blacks offer society. All they do is ruin western civilization.”

The blood that gushed from Cameron’s neck that night in August no longer stains the sidewalk on North Shore Drive. On Monday evening, people walked into the bars to watch “Monday Night Football” or stumbled out for a smoke. There’s no memorial to mark his killing.

How Robert Bowers went from conservative to white nationalist
Rich Lord, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, November 10, 2018
Mr. Bowers, 46, of Baldwin Borough, is charged with 44 federal counts in the Tree of Life massacre. On Oct. 27, according to law enforcement, the 6-foot tall, 225 pound Robert Bowers parked in a handicapped space in front of Tree of Life synagogue. He left a shotgun in the car, brought his Colt AR-15 rifle and three .357 Glock handguns into the Tree of Life synagogue, and fatally shot 11 worshippers, ages 54 to 97, before firing on responding police, according to the criminal complaints against him.

Accounts from Mr. Bowers’ coworkers of two decades ago, and an analysis of his social media posts in the weeks prior to the massacre, suggest that staunch conservatism metastasized into white nationalism. First fascinated with conservative radio host Jim Quinn, he later became a follower of aggressive online provocateurs of the right wing’s fringe. In the weeks before the Oct. 27 massacre, Robert Bowers shared memes about the “caravan” of Central Americans moving through Mexico and began posting on the "mass migration" of immigrants and refugees, sometimes blaming Jews. He zoomed in on HIAS, formerly the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, which helps federally approved refugees of all faiths to settle in the U.S. Referring to HIAS, he posted: "You like to bring in hostile invaders to dwell among us?"

A week before the attack, he reposted a message that Western civilization is "headed towards certain extinction within the next 200 years and we're not even aware of it”. Finally, just before the attack, he posted: “HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics. I'm going in”.

James Fields: jury recommends life sentence for Charlottesville murder
Julia Jacobs, New York Times, December 11, 2018

A jury on Tuesday called for a sentence of life in prison plus 419 years for the Hitler admirer who killed a woman when he rammed his car into counter-protesters at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville in 2017. Fields drove to Virginia from his home in Maumee, Ohio, to support the white nationalists at the “Unite the Right” rally on 12 August 2017. After police forced the crowds to disband because of violent clashes between white nationalists and anti-racism demonstrators, Fields spotted a large group of counter-protesters marching and singing. He stopped his car, backed up, then sped forward into the crowd, according to testimony from witnesses and video surveillance shown to jurors.

Fields’s lawyer Denise Lunsford called him a “mentally compromised individual” and urged the jury to consider his long history of mental problems. According to one of his former teachers, Fields was known in high school for being fascinated with Nazism and idolizing Adolf Hitler. Jurors were shown a text message he sent to his mother days before the rally that included an image of the Nazi dictator. When his mother pleaded with him to be careful, he replied: “We’re not the ones who need to be careful.”

The Bible-Thumping Tech CEO Who’s Proud Of Keeping Neo-Nazis Online
By Jessica Schulberg Huffington. Post
Dec 18, 2018

Rob Monster, the founder and CEO of the domain registrar Epik, loves talking about how he helped Gab, a social media site popular among white supremacists, get back online after a crisis. Monster registered Gab’s domain in November, after several internet service providers abandoned the platform in response to one of its users allegedly killing 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue. Since then, Monster, a Bible-quoting Christian, has defended Gab’s violent neo-Nazis, smeared critics who call for more regulation on the site, and made baseless claims that the racists on Gab are actually fake accounts created by liberals who want to make Gab look bad.

Monster’s ideology and rhetoric can at times be almost indistinguishable from those of the neo-Nazis he’s defended on Gab. The ease with which Monster, a tiny player in the tech community, was able to revive a gathering space for extremists illustrates the main limitation of deplatforming efforts: they require universal agreement. As long as one person, somewhere, is willing to host the hate, deplatforming doesn’t work.

Monster also shared his own opinions. “Are there a lot of ‘Jewish’ people who are in a position of power or influence and favor other ‘Jewish’ people, Ashkenazi, or otherwise? Sure. Do I think God is impressed by that? No, I do not,” Monster posted on Gab in November. Monster doesn’t wish Jewish people any harm, he said — “God will deal with them and in His time and His way regardless of hoaxes and conspiracies along the way.”

Man Tried to Burn Down Condo to ‘Kill All Jews’, Police Say
By Sarah Mervosh, New York Times, July 2018

Walter Edward Stolper was facing eviction and stewing with anger at his Jewish neighbors in Miami Beach when he threatened to take revenge, the authorities said on Friday. Mr. Stolper, 72, told a business associate that he planned to set fire to his condominium building and “kill all Jews” inside, the Miami Beach Police Department said.

He was well on his way to carrying out that plan when the police arrived on Thursday, finding him in a parking garage with two gasoline containers, according to a police report. The police said Mr. Stolper had already poured gasoline down the condominium building’s trash chute, and had 28 more gasoline containers and explosive materials in his storage unit. Mr. Stolper could have caused an explosion at the building, which has about 400 units, “within minutes,” said Officer Ernesto Rodriguez, a spokesman for the Police Department.

Austins killer gets three life sentences for targeting men he thought were Iranian
By Tony Rizzo, Kansas City Star

KANSAS - The Olathe man who targeted two men from India in a deadly shooting attack was sentenced Tuesday to three consecutive life prison sentences. Those sentences handed down in federal court will run consecutively to another life sentence 53-year-old Adam W. Purinton previously received for first-degree murder in Johnson County District Court.

Kuchibhotla, a citizen of India who worked as an engineer for Garmin, was having an after-work drink with a co-worker who was also from India. Purinton began verbally harassing them, demanding to know where they were from and yelling at them to “get out of my country.” Other bar patrons stepped forward, told Purinton to leave and escorted him out of the business.
A short time later, Purinton returned with a handgun. He wrapped a scarf around his face to hide his identity and barged in, firing multiple shots at Kuchibhotla and his friend, Alok Madasani. Purinton was arrested several hours later in Clinton, Mo., where he had told a bartender he was running from the police because he killed “two Iranians.”

James Harris Jackson, Associated Press, February 2019

NEW YORK (AP) — A white supremacist who killed a black man with a sword wanted to ignite a worldwide race war, a prosecutor told a judge who sentenced the man Wednesday to life in prison without parole. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance read excerpts from James Jackson’s hate-filled manifesto as he decried the “horror of his actions” when he fatally stabbed 66-year-old Timothy Caughman in March 2017 after stalking a number of black men in New York City. Jackson, 30, told police he traveled from Baltimore to carry out the attack because New York is the media capital of the world. He said the slaying was intended to be practice for further assaults on black people.
“James Jackson is a white supremacist and a terrorist,” Vance said of the Baltimore man and veteran who served in Afghanistan. “The racial world war starts today,” Vance said, reading from the manifesto. He said Jackson called for military and biological warfare aimed at the “extermination” of black people and urged authorities in the United Kingdom, China and Russia to get involved. Vance lamented that American law enforcement has been slow to acknowledge the problem of white supremacism and has sometimes minimized it.

Caughman, who was remembered as a gentleman and a good neighbor, was attacked while collecting bottles for recycling.

Dylan Roof

Earlier on Tuesday, Roof had told the court he was not sure “what good it would do” to ask jurors for life in prison instead of execution, showing no remorse for the massacre. When the verdict was read, Roof stood stoic and showed no emotion. He will be formally sentenced Wednesday.

In his final argument to jurors, Roof, a 22-year-old white man, said he felt he had to carry out the slayings on 17 June 2015. “I still feel like I had to do it,” Roof said. Holding on to his racist beliefs, he said: “Anyone who hates anything in their mind has a good reason for it.”

Prosecutors said Roof deserved execution because he went to the historic Emanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina, with a gun and a “hateful heart”. Assistant US attorney Jay Richardson said the 12 people Roof targeted were God-fearing church members who opened the door for a white stranger with a smile. Three people survived.

“They welcomed a 13th person that night … with a kind word, a Bible, a handout and a chair,” Richardson said during his closing argument. “He had come with a hateful heart and a Glock .45.”

Richardson reminded jurors about each one of the victims and the bloody crime scene that Roof left behind in the church’s lower level. Roof sat with the Bible study group for about 45 minutes, and during the final prayer – when everyone’s eyes were closed – he started firing. He stood over some of the fallen victims, shooting them again as they lay on the floor, the prosecutor said. Roof did not explain his actions to jurors, but in his FBI confession he said he hoped to bring back segregation or start a race war. - The Guardian

Frazier Glenn Miller, Jr. is a former leader of the defunct North Carolina-based White Patriot Party (formerly known as the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan). Convicted of murder as well as criminal charges related to weapons, and the violation of an injunction against paramilitary activity, he has been a perennial candidate for public office. He is an advocate of white nationalism, white separatism, neo-paganism and a proponent of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

On April 13, 2014, Miller was arrested following the Overland Park Jewish Community Center shooting in Overland Park, Kansas. A 14-year-old boy, Reat Griffin Underwood, and his 69-year-old grandfather, physician Dr. William Lewis Corporon, were killed at the Jewish Community Center. Both were Christians and attendants at the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood. A 53-year-old woman, Terri LaManno, who was an occupational therapist in Kansas City, was killed at the parking lot of Village Shalom, where her mother resided. LaManno was also a Christian who attended St. Peter's Catholic Church in Kansas City, Missouri. Initial reports indicated a fourth person who was shot and wounded, but it was later confirmed that all of the people who suffered gunshot wounds were killed. Including the people shot at but escaping uninjured, only one person targeted by gunfire was Jewish.

On August 31, 2015, Miller was found guilty in the Overland Park shooting of one count of capital murder, three counts of attempted murder and assault and weapons charges.

Anders Behring Breivik

SKIEN, NORWAY—Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik made a Nazi salute as he walked into a courtroom at a high-security prison where judges on Tuesday began reviewing a ruling that his solitary confinement is inhumane.

The 37-year-old right-wing extremist, who killed 77 people in a bomb and shooting rampage in 2011, sued the government last year. He argued that his solitary confinement, frequent strip searches and the fact that he was often handcuffed during the early part of his incarceration violated his human rights. But lawyers representing the government said that he enjoys better prison conditions than some inmates in Norway. They also warned that he remains a threat and should continue to be held in solitary confinement.

Breivik was convicted of mass murder and terrorism in 2012 and given a 21-year prison sentence that can be extended for as long as he’s deemed dangerous to society. Legal experts say he will likely be locked up for life.

He is being held in isolation in a three-cell complex where he can play video games, watch TV and exercise. He has also complained about the quality of the prison food, having to eat with plastic utensils and not being able to communicate with sympathizers. The government has rejected his complaints, saying he is treated humanely despite the severity of his crimes and that he must be separated from other inmates for safety reasons.

Breivik had carefully planned the attacks on July 22, 2011. He set off a car bomb outside the government headquarters in Oslo, killing eight people and wounding dozens. Dressed in a police uniform, Breivik then drove to the island of Utoya, about 40 kilometres away, where he opened fire on the annual summer camp of the left-wing Labour party’s youth wing. Sixty-nine people there were killed, most of them teenagers, before he surrendered to police.

At the time of the attacks, Breivik claimed to be the commander of a secret Christian military order plotting an anti-Muslim revolution in Europe, but now describes himself as a traditional neo-Nazi who prays to the Viking god Odin. He also made a Nazi salute to journalists at the start of his human rights case last year.

A one-and-a-half year-old Palestinian infant was burned to death and three of his family members were seriously wounded early Friday morning after a house was set on fire in the West Bank village of Douma, near Nablus.

According to witnesses, at roughly 4 A.M. Friday morning, two masked men arrived at two homes in the village of Douma, not far from the settlement of Migdalim. They sprayed painted graffiti reading "revenge" and "long live the Messiah" in Hebrew, breaking the windows of the homes and throwing two firebombs inside.

One of the two homes was empty at the time, but there was a family in the second: 18-month-old Ali Saad Dawabsheh, his father Sa'ad, mother Reham, and 4-year-old Ahmed. The four were evacuated to a hospital in Nablus in the West Bank and then to the burns unit at Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer. The Israel Defense Forces subsequently confirmed that 18-month-old Ali died in the attack, and that Jewish extremists are suspected to be behind the attack.

"This attack against Palestinian civilians is a barbaric act of terrorism," IDF Spokesperson Lt. Col. Peter Lerner tweeted soon after the attack. Forces combed the area in an attempt to find the perpetrators.

According to eyewitnesses, the father was able to rescue his wife and 4-year-old son, but could not locate the baby, Ali, in the darkness. According to the Shin Bet security agency, 23-year-old Meir Ettinger was arrested late Monday for "involvement in an extremist Jewish organization."
