Hitler speech found in home of US man accused of killing two black men
Associated Press in Baton Rouge
Tuesday 19 September 2017 18.34 BST
A law enforcement official said investigators found a copy of an Adolf Hitler speech in the home of a 23-year-old white man arrested on Tuesday and accused of killing two black men and firing on a black family.
Kenneth James Gleason was led away from the Baton Rouge police department in handcuffs just before authorities held a news conference to announce that he would be charged with first-degree murder in the shooting deaths last week of a homeless man and a dishwasher who was walking to work.
I feel confident that this killer would have killed again, interim police chief Jonny Dunnam said.
Authorities found a copy of the Hitler speech during a search of Gleasons home over the weekend, according to the law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was not finished.
Asked whether police suspected that race was a motive for the shootings, Sgt LJean McKneely said: Were not completely closed off to that. Were looking at all possibilities at this time, so were not going to just pinpoint that.

If our next generation coming up is a bunch of Hitler loving Nazis, humanity is going to be in for a rough time. Although I guess if you peddle hate 24 hours a day to the uneducated, don't be surprised.
