Ex-Neo Nazi: Right-wing extremists ‘on the verge of doing something horrible’ over same-sex marriage
07 Aug 2015 at 13:44 ET
From Raw Story:
A former neo-Nazi and white supremacist warned website The Trace that he foresees extreme acts of violence in the nation’s future over the Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage in all fifty states.

“There’s this idea that there’s a huge noble cause you have to fight for, and if you don’t win, all is lost,” he said. “For white supremacists, it’s genocide against white people. If you’re targeted in genocide, you better arm yourself and form some kind of resistance.”
“The idea is to start a race war. The thinking is: The world is so messed up, there’s no fixing it. The only thing you can do is tear it down. And people are just itching for this to happen. You can see it on white supremacy sites,” explained Michaelis.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and other organizations that track and monitor hate groups and right-wing extremists have been beating a steady drumbeat of warning about the rise in hate group activity in the U.S. over the last 15 years.
In 2009, the Department of Homeland Security issued a report on terrorism “chatter” in the U.S. and the increasing threat posed by right-wing extremists and so-called “lone wolf” terrorists like Roof who act on their own and are therefore harder to track and monitor.
