Florida State shooter a fascist “deeply embedded” in police community
The suspect, stepson of a deputy sheriff, was on the Sheriff's Youth Advisory Council, and had a history of anti-communist rants, support for the Gaza genocide and hatred towards minorities.
The suspect in the Florida State University shooter, who faces first degree murder charges for killing two and injuring five on Thursday was a member of Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, a fascist youth group around the Republican Party, and is a registered Republican voter in Florida. The 20-year-old suspect, Phoenix Ikner, is the stepson of Leon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Jessica Ikner, who has been with the department for 18 years.

I'm sure Matt Gaetz will give him a job once he's fully exonerated.
A "job."
"It was self-defense." - Local cops
Krasnov will pardon the POS neo-Nazi loser.
This one of the home grown terrorists I hear about? Or does this not qualify?
/s just in case
He doesn’t qualify, he is one of the good ones.
I notice they didn’t charge him with terrorism and the death penalty.
Because he didn't hit a Tesla.
Or a CEO
It's always the ones you most suspect.
When news of the shooting broke I was with my dad who said "the shooter was probably radical Democrat since they are the violent ones". FoxRot is real and dangerous.
Back in the old days of Fark, I remember there used to be a flowchart of people's reactions to mass shootings:
- Mass shooting happens
- initial reaction: guy is a terrorist Muslim and we need to bomb some country in the middle east.
- news shows it's a white guy
- "Oh my...how sad. He must have been really struggling."
I feel like the right has replaced the second step with whatever out group they are trying to target.
Following the Oklahoma City Bombing, EVERYBODY jumped on the Muslim Terrorist bandwagon, but it didn't sit right with me. Why would a Muslim bomb a building in OKC? Most Muslims wouldnt even know what Oklahoma is. Why wouldnt they pick a more iconic target? It's all about making a statement, after all. It just smelled like a homegrown terrorist to me, and those around me derided me for being a "Muslim-lover."
Then it turned out to be a standard issue American white guy, with blurry motivations beyond being generally pissy about the government for some incomprehensible reason.
Critical Thinking Skills are the most important skills you can learn in life. They keep you from being stupid and falling for propaganda.
Good ol' Fark. That and Fazed were my go-to websites back in university.
Magats are lost causes and they’ll never be functioning members of society in any meaningful way again. They are class traitors who want to watch the world burn
No terrorism charge? That's crazy. /s
Turning Point USA a designated terrorist group? Yes please.
It's a white thing.
Fascist deeply embedded in police community? That’s every cop.
Can shit be deeply embedded in shit?
Never heard of fecal impaction?

Forgive my ignorance, but I have a question about this. In my country, we tend to associate America with a lot of DIY justice, from vigilantism to witch hunting, and you can still find the stereotype of Americans hunting down witches/communists/abusers/etc. in localized media. Yet nobody is witch hunting against gun owners?
I don't know, I look at many of you and think that yelling "that guy's a gun owner" sounds like it would have more merit and success than "that guy is an abuser". Gun owning sounds like the one thing I can find feasible to do in the form of mob justice, and nobody does it. And here you guys are descending into chaos because bullets are a cultural value to you.
Because there are 10s of millions of gun owners in this country, if not more. Very, very few of them commit crimes with guns.
Yeah we should get in a big group with little space between us and threaten the homes and families of people with shotguns, fantastic idea!
Only half the country has a gun in the household, this plan is brilliant!
I don't think angry mobs are a common thing here, but setting that aside-gun owners tend to shoot people who are hunting them. Angry mobs are not brave.
He was at the center of a custody battle since he was a toddler, with his father alleging his mother neglected and abused him.
Kind of have to wonder which parent was actually abusing or neglecting the kid, seeing as all this happened under his father's roof.
shootsie daisy
TBH that sucks for the kid.
Yup. Kids always pay the price for their parent's fuck-ups.
Ikner cited this “tragic event” in 2015 when he went to court to change his name from Christian Gunnar Eriksen.
Changing your name is so woke!
Ironically, if he wasn't able to vote before due to the name change he definitely can't now
The mom is still with the sheriff office after her kid used her issued weapon to murder people? That seems like an immediate resignation type of event, with potential for criminal negligence charges down the road.
I'm from Tallahassee and small correction. It was her former service weapon that she purchased from the department after it was decommissioned. It was her personal firearm.
Cops are so fucking careless with guns it’s unbelievable. Any time you hear of an accidental discharge, it was the cops negligence and they’re lying about it because Glocks do not misfire without user error
LEO are involved in hundreds of accidental discharges a year, they also shoot themselves and other officers on accident dozens of times per year. Unfortunately exact numbers are very difficult to get because cops always fight having their actions tracked in national registries.
I've also thought it's hilarious how cops seem to love glocks. The "dual trigger" safety mechanism is shit. It can get caught easily on your holster, waist band, or one of the 20 fucking things on your belt and cause an AD. Oh yeah, if you have shitty trigger discipline like most cops,then you'll probably have an AD too.
Springfield makes a much better, safer pistol, IMO
Well, perhaps, but you neglected to include the Florida clause.
I thought I'd read in a previous article that the mom went to prison for kidnapping him a few years ago and taking him out of the country in violation of their custody agreement. If I'm recalling this correctly, it's insane that he can still work as a deputy, but I know how Florida loves their cops.
This is misinformation, and I know it's not intentional.
His biological mother did kidnap him. The Leon County Sherriffs deputy is his step-mom that has functionally raised him since he was very young.
I heard it was her service weapon which she then purchased as a personal weapon?
... but I repeat myself.
Why did they say "fascist" twice?
To cover both sides of his face.
There was another article that said the shooter used the step parent's service gun.
It used to be her service weapon. It was purchased from the department when they updated equipment.
so do they have responsibility for their weapons?
like securely locked-up whenever they are not on physically in possession and in control of them?
People should be charged with a crime when their unsecured firearms are used in a crime like this. I’m not holding my breath on this one. No way a cop actually faces criminal charges for this. But they should :(
They absolutely fucking do. Most of these situations happen because of some negligent fucking asshole who owns a firearm. It’s so easy to make sure it’s locked up and inaccessible to others. I own firearms and know exactly where they are at at all times and know that they are secure, there’s no fucking excuse for that negligence
Another MAGAt Nazi. Living their death cult dreams.
Unsurprising.
Who could possibly not have foreseen this?
