7/17/16, "Baton Rouge Shooter Gavin Eugene Long Was Nation Of Islam Member, Railed Against ‘Crackers’ On YouTube Channel," Daily Caller, Chuck Ross
Gavin Long, You tube |
Videos on Long’s account show that he was a former Nation of Islam member. He also ranted against “crackers” and made references to Alton Sterling, the black man killed by police in Baton Rouge on July 5.
Other information about Long shows that the Kansas City native, who CBS reported was honorably discharged from the Marines in 2010, went by the name Cosmo Ausar Setepenra....
Long, who was reportedly carrying a rifle and wearing all-black attire when he confronted police, posted several videos within recent weeks discussing various police-involved shootings. “If I would have been there with Alton — clap,” Long says in a video posted on July 14....
In one video posted in recent weeks, Long left a cryptic message that may have foretold Sunday’s attack. And though he said he was once a member of the Nation of Islam, the radical sect led by Louis Farrakhan, Long also said that he had no affiliations with outside groups....
"“Yeah, I also was a Nation of Islam member. Don’t affiliate me with it. Don’t affiliate me with anything.”...
Long’s You tube account reveals at least some interest in the sovereign citizen movement. He “liked” a video from sovereign citizen activist Larken Rose entitled “When Should You Shoot A Cop?”"...
In the
footage, shot before he traveled to Baton Rouge, Long said: 'One hundred
per cent of revolutions, victims fighting their oppressors, victims
fighting their bullies, 100 per cent have been successful through
fighting back, through bloodshed.
'Zero
have been successful by simply protesting. It has never worked and it
never will. You've gotta fight back, that's the only way a bully knows
to quit. He doesn't understand words.
'If y'all
wanna keep protesting but for the real ones, the serious ones, the alpha
ones - we know what it's going to take. It's only fighting back or
money. That's all they care about. Revenue and blood. Nothing else.
'Don't
even think about it. That's why I don't go to protests, because I know I
speak well, I'm articulate, I can motivate, I can inspire, and those
are the ones they arrest. So I know they'd try to arrest me and I know I
would die right there because you're not going to kidnap me.
'That's
what (rebel slave) Nat Turner did. That's what Malcolm (X) did. You've
got to stand, you've got to stand on your rights....
He also spoke with radio host Lance
Scurvin, who is based in Florida, and had ranted about the death of
Alton Sterling and police claims that the officers' bodycams had fallen
off during the attack, saying that police should release the footage of
the cameras falling off."...
