Crime and is opening a federal civil rights investigation. thank you for all your reporting. and juliette, let me go to you. you note, there is a neo-nazi presence in jacksonville. that is an hvenue they need to down. when law enforcement says things like, the killer, the shooter acted alone, it can leave the impression that the guy just woke up one day and decided to hate black people. and what we know is that there is no lone wolves anymore. this apparatus of hate is nurtured, cultivated in politics and society and music and everything to lead to a greater likelihood that something like this will happen. so the investigation will clearly look to something we ve been, lots of us have been monitoring in the last year. the rise of neo-nazi movement in ....
