Nazi flags and a Schutzstaffel history book were among the items found in the home of the Ohio Walmart shooter who earlier this month wounded four people before killing himself, records show.
The FBI previously said Benjamin Charles Jones, 20, may have been at least partly inspired by violent, racist ideology based on journal writings and other evidence collected after he opened fire at the Beavercreek Walmart on Nov. 20. Details about the writings and other items were not detailed in a statement at the time.
However, court documents now indicate Beavercreek police detectives seized a total of 18 items, including two Nazi flags, the Schutzstaffel — or SS — history book, a shooting complex card, handwritten notes, electronics and a blue folder containing documents, during a search of Jones’ home in Dayton.
The contents of the handwritten notes and the blue folder were not immediately clear Tuesday.
The SS was a paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany during World War II. Schutzstaffel symbols and ideologies have been adopted by white supremacists around the world.
The newly revealed court documents also outline what happened during and following the shooting.
Surveillance video shows Jones exit a 2000 black GMC Sonoma pickup truck, which he left running with the driver’s side door open, at around 8:37 p.m. He was seen walking into Walmart while carrying a rifle, according to court documents.
Mass shooters would have to admit that they're being pulled around by the balls like Nikki by their addiction. Not heroin like Nikki necessarily, but hate. Hate is addictive and it's just as useful as heroin for getting junkies to jump whenever they're told "frog" by TV/their handlers. Cheaper too.
Not gonna lie, I'd be horrified if someone used Operation Mindcrime as their personal manifesto. Then I'd probably stop listening to that album, and that would suck, because it's a non stop banger.
