Devon Arthurs, 18, of Tampa told police he shared neo-Nazi beliefs with his roommates, Jeremy Himmelman and Andrew Oneschuk, until he converted to Islam and shot them because they disrespected his faith. [Photo courtesy of Tampa Police]

And they found a lot of bomb making shit too so, uhhhhhhh... I guess it's better than they killed each other instead of bombing other people? He did keep a few people as hostages in a crime he committed after the murders but before his arrest, but they're OK now...

Also, the Nazi who converted to Islam is Spider-Man.

This is the strangest story I've seen in a while.

 

[888]

Tampa...
Florida...

Figures.

Friendly neighborhood Florida Boy

 

[Exotoro]

God he does look a lot like Tom Holland

 

[Van Bur3n]

What a bunch of loonies.

 

[Rex Griswold]

Let them fight...?

 

[Lord Frieza]

I'm not shedding any tears for Neo-Nazis, and dude clearly was insane, so I think that wraps it up.

 

[Permanently A]

Okay I never expected someone from Florida to convert to Islam

talk about an identity crisis

 

[Arkanius]

Does he qualify as Florida Man?

 

[Htown]

yeah this dude was just looking for an excuse to hurt somebody

 

[Netherscourge]

Looks a little like an angry Frodo Baggins.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Post irony was a huge mistake.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I'll admit, I'm really curious what made a dude like this convert to Islam.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Next is Texas.

 

[Vimes]

Arthurs made references to "Allah Mohammed" as officers walked him to a patrol car.

 

[Hazmat]

I'll admit, I'm really curious what made a dude like this convert to Islam.

Well, he's clearly crazy so I don't think you'll get a satisfying answer.

 

[sant]

From one extreme to another. Dude must have a really weak mind.

 

[Mohonky]

I'll admit, I'm really curious what made a dude like this convert to Islam.

I too am curious as to what he read / saw / heard that swayed him.

I mean the guy cant be too right in the head but that sounds like an interesting twist...

 

[gutter_trash]

Does he qualify as Florida Man?

Fuck yeah

 

[SaviourMK2]

I did not prepare for this

 

[Tagyhag]

I can already see the Fox News headlines "He didn't start killing until he converted to Islam! Alt Right not as dangerous as media says!"

 

[andycapps]

Let them fight.

Spoiler

Meaning the neo-Nazis fighting among each other.

 

[HStallion]

Well... uhh... I'm not even sure to say to this story.

 

[caliph95]

I.........don't even know what to say

 

[Kisaya]

Neo-Nazi gonna stay a Neo-Nazi regardless of their faith.

 

[Viewt]

Sounds like Tampa to me.

Tampa is to Florida what Florida is to the rest of the U.S.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Did he convert to Islam Islam or Radical Islam?

 

[Mercury Fred]

The urge for people to shop for extremist ideologies and adopt them whole cloth is fucking horrifying.

 

[Flux]

Florida just brings out the crazy

 

[Tugatrix]

Florida is that piece of land where weird things happen, it's just like the loonie toons rule there

 

[HStallion]

He's going to become a militant animal rights activist next.

 

[King Tubby]

Part of the "Atomwaffen" apparently. Unabashed neo-Nazi terrorists who recruit students at universities and idolize Islamic terrorists and terrorist attacks. Who knew you could have a group that idolizes Timothy McVeigh and Osama bin Laden.

At least he took a couple of Nazi scumbags with him.

 

[Fercho]

So....this classifies as a radical attack? or hate crime?.....i'm so confused.

 

[Dehnus]

So erm... we are all part of a gigantic reality show right? I mean.. really there must be some Aliens having a laugh about all of this...

Think of the Pitch:"Hey Producer, what about we take an ordinary Simian, now now here me out... and we make him far too smart for his own good. However we also give him the memory of a hamster so he forgets his own history all the time. That way he'll over think everything, and will find meaning in the smallest of things even where there is none.. hmmmhmmm? 10 seasons right there!"

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

he really does looks like an angry Tom Holland.

edit: didn't even get past the image to read OP also noticing the similarity.

 

[Veritigo_X]

This G/A/F was legitimately hard.

 

[TAJ]

Doesn't that mean he needs to shoot himself?

 

[FrontalMonk]

This G/A/F was legitimately hard.

Yeah. I was like "Germany? Nah, nazis in germany are a little too on the nose. Australia? I can see it. Florida? I can *definitely* see it." I hemmed and hawed for a little on it.

 

[Haly]

I don't know how you go from Neo Nazi to Islam.

 

[Lautaro]

Ended friendship with Hitler, now Osama is my best friend.

 

[Forearm Star]

I'm going to sit back and wait for his defense force.

 

[CHC]

I don't know how you go from Neo Nazi to Islam.

You're a lonely loser looking for somewhere to belong and have no idea what your real views of anything are.

 

[PhantomThief]

Crazy as fuck.

 

[woolley]

And nothing of value was lost. Actually did everyone a favor by removing all three from society.

 

[TimeEffect]

That was an unexpected twist

 

[victreeb3l]

Jesus Christ.

 

[Camel Master]

Why is it always Florida

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

I can already see the Fox News headlines "He didn't start killing until he converted to Islam! Alt Right not as dangerous as media says!"

Sadly, I wouldn't​ be surprised.

 

[oldboss]

 

[caliph95]

I don't know how you go from Neo Nazi to Islam.

Radical Islam and Neonazis targets the same kind of people so i can see it

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

I don't know how you go from Neo Nazi to Islam.

I think he's both at the same time?
