DENVER (AP) — A teenager suspected in a shooting attack at a suburban Denver high school that left two students in critical condition appeared fascinated with previous mass shootings including Columbine and expressed neo-Nazi views online, according to experts.
Since December, Desmond Holly, 16, had been active on an online forum where users watch videos of killings and violence, mixed in with content on white supremacism and antisemitism, the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism said in a report.
Holly shot himself following Wednesday’s shooting at Evergreen High School in Jefferson County. He died of his injuries. It is still unclear how he selected his victims. The county was also the scene of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre that killed 14 people.
Holly’s TikTok accounts contained white supremacist symbols, the ADL said, and the name of his most recent account included a reference to a popular white supremacist slogan. The account was unavailable Friday. TikTok said accounts associated with Holly had been banned.
Holly’s family could not be reached. The Associated Press left a message at a telephone number associated with the house that police searched after the shooting.
Fuck yeah! I’m with you brother.
Great! Nazis still weren’t socialist though. And nazis are fucking horrible
In case you were looking for a more academic person to explain the nazi/socialist connection, this randomly popped up in my youtube feed - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjkQZ3MmGgY&t=2623s
I didn’t listen to the whole episode and I don’t endorse the show, but there are some serious modern academics saying things similar to what I was saying yesterday. All the best.
Yeah I took a look into the pod cast and the people involved, there is a lot of suspect bits, I don’t really lend credence, especially since the nazis weren’t socialist. Take care
