Right Wing Gun Nuts were the shooters at Black Lives Matter event

One of the shooters, Allen Scarsella, had the bright idea to film himself heading to an earlier Black Lives Matter protest donning a mask and spewing racist hate speech while he and his friends waved around their guns. The group seemed eager to initiate violence against the protesters – echoing the agenda of Dylann Roof, the white supremacist who killed 9 innocent African Americans in their church in an effort to start a “race war.” Scarsella and his friend Nathan Gustavsson allegedly texted each other on the night of the shooting that they “[knew] how to make big news or get them to disperse.” Later, Gustavsson added, “I have an idea to really stir shit up.”
Once caught and right on cue, however, the group of white supremacists claimed they had no intention of actually starting a fight with the protesters. Instead, they claimed they got scared after a few African Americans confronted them over shouting racial slurs. Their legal defense appears to be that they were shouting racial slurs until they provoked a reaction then got so scared that they started shooting. It’s unclear if their defense attorneys can find even a single potential jury member who would be dumb enough to buy that.
And while racism was clearly the catalyst to their shooting spree, the group was able to cause such chaos because of their other obsession: Guns. According to Gawker, Scarsella and his friends were well-known members of 4chan’s /k/ message board, which is devoted to talking about guns. One fellow poster got the rest of the users up to speed:
4chan in the news again. A bunch of /pol/lacks+/k/ommandos in Guy Fawkes masks just shot up a Black Lives Matter protest. Apparently the BLM protestors tried to assault them, the Anon’s ran off and when the BLM protestors chased after them the /k/ommandos shot them.
5 BLM supporters confirmed in the hospital.
Media hasn’t mentioned 4chan by name yet but these guys were on /pol/ a few days ago telling everyone how they were trolling BLM by attending their protests and open carrying.
