I was planning to write a story about the Neo-Confederate Alabama publisher who called for the KKK to ride through Washington, D.C. and hang people. But yesterday and even more shocking story hit the news. This is typical of the news cycle in the Trump era.
On Wednesday, several news outlets reported Lt. Christopher Hasson, an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard, was discovered to have compiled a hit list of prominent Democratic politicians, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and media figures. Hasson was also a long-time skinhead who wanted to spark a race war and make America a “white homeland.”
Even more disturbing is the fact Hasson had a stockpile of 15 guns and about 1,000 rounds of ammunition. He also had extensive military training, having previously served in the Marines. Hasson also used steroids because he believed they heightened his senses.
