The Florida State University shooter, Phoenix Ikner, promoted views of the white vile supremacist who raised serious concerns among his classmates, including that “Rosa Parks was wrong” and that blacks were destroying their community.
Ikner, who supposedly killed two people and wounded others when he opened fire on the campus on Thursday, horrified other students with their “brute” career rhetoric.
A classmate from the former Ikner school, Tallahassee State College, remembered how he was asked to leave a “political table” club about his hate speech.
“Basically, our only rule was that there was no Nazis-colloquizically speaking, and lost so much white supremacist rhetoric, and also a rhetoric of the extreme right, to the point that we had to exercise that rule,” Reid Seybold said to size.
Another classmate said that Ikner was a member in his promotion of the federal policy class that his disturbing points of view on blacks, as well as the theories of extreme right, such as former Joe Biden, were chosen fraudulently.
His opinions were so worrying that the classmate, Lucas Luzietti, recalled scalhatingly thinking that “this man should not have access to firearms.”
“I understand with him in class about how disgusting were the things he said,” Lucas Luzietti told the USA Today.
“I remember thinking that this man should not have access to firearms,” he added.
“What are you supposed to do? Your mother was a police and Florida does not have very strong red flag laws.”
Ikner, which mother was deputy of the Sheriff of Leon County, made it very clear that she had weapons, classmates said. It is believed that one of the firearms that downloaded on Thursday belongs to his mother.
“It’s very sad and shocking,” Luzietti said about the shooting. “So to see what he was, unfortunately I am not surprised.”
