White Supremacist Leader Posted ‘Lone Wolf Activist’ Strategy, Was Spotted With Shooting Suspect
The leader of white supremacist group Republic of Florida, who claimed Nikolas Cruz was reportedly a member, said he did not personally know Cruz. However, some are now claiming that’s untrue.
A few students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where the shooting took place, told ABC News that they saw ROF leader Jordan Jereb with Cruz frequently and that Cruz often marched with the group.
Jereb, in turn, told the Associated Press that he didn’t personally know Cruz, and that “he acted on his own behalf of what he just did and he’s solely responsible for what he just did.”
But that may not be true, either. LA Times national correspondent Matt Pearce tweeted that Jereb posted a strategy for creating “lone wolf activists” on Gab, a social media platform that “champions free speech, individual liberty, and the free flow of information.” On the same platform, he called Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik a “hero.”

Whether Cruz has ever seen the flowchart is currently unknown.
UPDATE: 6:13 p.m. EST: Jereb’s claims that Cruz was a member of his group have started being called into question. Police sources told the Tallahassee Democrat that they have found no ties between Jereb and the gunman.
