A young female white supremacist was arrested earlier this week for planning an upscale mass murder

She has developed a relationship with Dylann Roof.

A 23-year-old Ohio woman was arrested on Saturday after purchasing black powder and screws for making a bomb. According to the Washington Post, Elizabeth Lecron was charged with transportation of explosives and explosive material for the purpose of harming others, and had been sending letters to Dylann Roof, the man who killed nine people at a historically black church in Charleston in 2015.

The FBI told CBS News that Lecron revealed to an undercover agent that she intended to target a Toledo bar, as well as to bomb a pipeline or attack a farm.

“She stated she had been involved in a plan to commit an ‘upscale mass murder,’ as she called it,” said Jeff Fortunato, an FBI assistant special agent in charge.

Radicalized by right wing political viewpoints.

Lock her up for the rest of her miserable wasted life.

Humanity has a lot of work to do.

Sometimes I wonder if killing animals for no other reason than to claim a trophy tends to desensitize killing in general. Especially when political groups are so radicalized against each other. In general right wing.

Maybe the Neanderthals should have won.

I wouldn’t have thought that was a woman if I didn’t know better. Same bowl haircut too.

Never mind, I think that picture is of Roof, not her.
