Tattoos identify accused Mesa shooter as neo-nazi

Source: AZ Central

The man arrested in the mass shooting in Mesa is a dangerous felon, court records show.

Accused killer Ryan Giroux 41, served time in prison in California, Washington and Arizona and has a rap sheet dating back to the 90's.
...
"The guy was a hardcore Nazi skinhead, a member of Hammerskin Nation, which is an incredibly violent national racist skinhead group," said Mark Potok. Potok serves as the editor-in-chief of the Southern Poverty Law Center's quarterly journal called Intelligence Report. The SPLC, based in Montgomery, Ala. is a civil rights organization which tracks hate groups. Today Giroux's association with Hammerskin Nation was featured on the center's Hatewatch blog.

I'd love to know what it is about locking up dangerous racist cons that he finds so controversial...

Please join him.

Anyone who promotes Official Stories needs to just leave. We have NO idea what really happened, just like the cop shootings in MO last week. Shame on you!

Another "we don't know what really happened!" nutbag. And an un-gallant asshole, as well.



Sorry you had to see that, CalPeg. Not everyone receives a proper upbringing...

Since I'm on MIRT, I can look those up to see what was said. I like that little feature, esp. since this time, the remark was aimed at me.

Republicans. Many of the radical law makers have been imported from other states since they could not win in their home states. If you review the bills in line to be passed or that have passed, they are the most radical. Arizona law makers never pass bills to make the people and state safer. We have no laws about trashing the state with cans/bottles and plastic. Republicans refuse to even allow a bill in committee. The AAA insurance recently disclosed they have given up on AZ law makers to pass any sensible auto or road safety bills. They have tired for years to work with the Republicans and they are not interested in a safe state.

It was my first thought when it happened but the media won't have that discussion.
