Horowitz: Why are federal authorities ignoring the black militia threat?



We have all heard of QAnon and the Proud Boys. No, not because we know people in those groups, but because the media won't stop talking about them, and the federal government is treating them as a greater threat than Hezbollah and al Qaeda. Except, as a "right winger," I never even heard of QAnon until the media promoted it and still don't know how to join it online. As for the Proud Boys, it's hard to find anyone who is not a federal agent associated with it.

However, while we are distracted with phantom threats (such as unarmed grandmothers entering the Capitol building while a police officer held the door open), black nationalist militias are able to promote their violence online with impunity, and it appears that a policeman in Daytona Beach, Florida, has become the most recent victim of their violence.

On Saturday, 29-year-old Othal Wallace, the black nationalist wanted in the shooting of Daytona police officer Jason Raynor last week, was arrested by Georgia state troopers in DeKalb County, Georgia. According to Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young, Wallace was found heavily armed (with illegal flash-bang grenades) in a treehouse at a property allegedly associated with the "Not F***ing Around Coalition" (NFAC). "You guys know who I am? You know what I'm capable of? It could have been a lot worse," Wallace said as he was arrested, according to Young.

While Wallace has a criminal record, he appears to represent a broader risk than just your typical career violent criminal. According to Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood, Wallace was planning to attack any cop who had stopped him that day. Officer Raynor was allegedly shot in the head by Wallace on Wednesday as the officer was approaching the suspect's car. While initially reported as being in critical condition, Raynor shows signs of recovering. However, the question is, with all this anti-police rhetoric coming from the media and the government itself, how many other threats like Wallace are there out on the streets?

At a press conference Thursday night, Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young said his team was monitoring what appeared to be Wallace's Facebook page, posting as "O-Zone Wallace," which indicates ties with black nationalist groups including the NFAC Black Militia, the New Black Panther Party, and the Huey P. Newton Gun Club Alabama Chapter.

According to a local Fox station, the NFAC is a group of black nationalist gun owners founded in 2017 supposedly to protect black people from violence and oppression. By that, they certainly don't mean the over 90% of black homicide victims killed by black criminals. This group held a protest at Stone Mountain, Georgia, last year and shut down the site for a full day.

Don't expect any American to ever hear about this organization despite its quite catchy name. One can only imagine if a white militia of gun owners had a member pose with prominent white nationalists what would happen culturally and politically in this country. Yet today we will hear crickets.

In fact, this is nothing new. Everyone forgot about the Capitol Hill officer killed in an attack by a nationalist. No, I don't mean Officer Brian Sicknick, for whom there is no evidence that he or anyone else died at the hands of Trump supporters, let alone white nationalists. I mean Officer William Evans, an 18-year Capitol Hill police veteran who was mowed down by Noah Green, a follower of Nation of Islam, on April 2. Green is accused of ramming two police cars, resulting in the death of Officer Evans and the maiming of another officer, before he was shot by police when he exited the car with a knife. At the time, Nation of Islam Founder Louis Farrakhan put out a statement mourning the loss of a "brother" who could have been a future "star" in his movement.

How many Americans do you think ever heard of Officer Evans and the attack itself, much less the identity of the suspect? How many federal agents do you think are dedicated to the much more ubiquitous threat of black nationalist violence tied to the BLM movement, as compared to white nationalists? Where are the corporations placing Blue Lives Matter paraphernalia and dogma in every facet of their business? Where are the cultural and educational memes warning about black supremacism? Why is everything so one-sided?

The Daytona News Journal, to its credit, has done a deep dive into groups like NFAC. The local paper of record reports on some of its tactics to defeat policing, including stealing body cameras from police officers to get rid of evidence. Sheriff Chitwood believes that Wallace partially followed this tactic against officer Raynor. "It [body camera footage] doesn't end because we cut it," Chitwood said. "It ends because the power cord is taken from the camera so therefore the camera couldn't record anymore. He methodically in my opinion dismantled the camera before he shot Jason."

NFAC's leader, John Fitzgerald Johnson, also known as Grandmaster Jay, is currently in jail after being charged with pointing a rifle at Secret Service and Louisville metro police at a protest in Kentucky last September. Johnson, like several other prominent black nationalists who've recently turned violent, was a veteran of the Army. Don't expect there to be a witch hunt in the military among black soldiers to weed out those serving in the military to obtain training that could be used on the streets, like they do with white soldiers. Don't expect a new update to their critical race theory curricula being shoved down the throats of the soldiers, either.

This is not the first time a Florida cop was killed by a black nationalist. In 2017, two Kissimmee, Florida, police officers were killed by a member of a black militia who had served in the military. Again, where is the concern about black nationalists recruiting the large pool of hardened criminals in inner cities as well as military veterans who posses training in weapons – just like we hear about white right-wingers who retired from Desert Storm all the time?

Just two weeks ago, Briana Sykes, a BLM activist who spent a year promoting hate against cops on social media, allegedly drove up to a white cop at a "Juneteenth" parade in Flint, Michigan, and opened fire. Luckily, she had bad aim and the cop was not hit, but the officer was seen begging her to surrender so that he wouldn't have to shoot her. According to an eyewitness, he "fell to the ground crying because … he didn't want to do whatever he had to do." How many more of these ticking time bombs like Briana Sykes and Othal Wallace are on the streets?

The Atlantic described many of NFAC's adherents as follows: "They joined a group that promised to take a bite out of the Earth and reserve it for Black people. They expected to be led by a commander who preaches radical separatism, and who will swagger with an AR-15 in public and boast that his snipers can bisect a white militiaman's head from 1,000 yards away. Jay told me that he already had to vet his recruits carefully."

What we are seeing here is not only the fact that the entire threat of right-wing terrorism and ubiquitous white supremacism was fabricated. But like any blood libel, the BLM-driven projection of violence on white people and conservatives stirs up the dangerous people on their side to truly act out in all the ways they accuse Trump supporters of acting. So as the feds hunt down every grandma who peaceably entered the already-open public building on January 6, you can bet most of the BLM and NFAC rioters will never be hunted down using surveillance. In fact, they might be allowed to go through with their tactic of sabotaging police surveillance.

Fortunately for members of these militias, one thing they most certainly don't have to fear is infiltration by the FBI. After all, when CDC Director Rochelle Walensky states that racism is "a serious public health threat," she doesn't mean that type of racism.

Glenn Beck: WHERE'S the media outrage after BLACK NATIONALIST shoots cop in the head?



Daytona Beach (Florida) Police Officer Jason Raynor was shot in the head on Wednesday, allegedly by a man who was later apprehended at a black nationalist paramilitary encampment. Raynor miraculously survived the attack but remains in critical condition at Halifax Health Medical Center.

On the radio program Monday, Glenn Beck couldn't help wondering: Where's the media outrage for Officer Raynor? Where are the crowds chanting, "Say his name"? And how different would the media reports and reactions be right now if the attacker had been a white supremacist, apprehended at a white nationalist militia camp?

"Jason Raynor, he's fighting for his life after being shot in the head," Glenn began. "The suspected shooter is Othal Wallace. ... Wallace was apprehended at a black nationalist militia camp. Imagine what today's world would be like if that were a white nationalist militia camp."

Glenn pointed out that reports are focused on Wallace's crimes as an individual and not as a representative of an entire race — which is as it should be. But if the races were reversed, would a white criminal receive the same kind of coverage? Or would the crime become an example of the supposed rising threat of white supremacy in our nation?

Either way, Glenn said it's time we say Raynor's name — just like all the others who've been physically hurt amid our nation's growing racial divide.

Florida man wanted for shooting cop in the head apprehended at black nationalist paramilitary encampment following multi-agency manhunt



A Florida man accused of shooting a Daytona Beach police officer in the head was apprehended early Saturday morning following a multi-agency manhunt of nearly 500 officers. The suspect was reportedly captured on a wooded property in Georgia affiliated with a black nationalist paramilitary group.

Othal Toreyane Resheen Wallace, 29, was reportedly approached by police officer Jason Raynor on Wednesday night in Daytona Beach. The Daytona Police Department released bodycam footage of the initial confrontation between Wallace and officer Raynor. The officer approaches Wallace, who is sitting in his car, and asks, "How's it going? Do you live here?" Raynor asks Wallace to sit down, he resists and says, "C'mon now. Don't do this. Why are you asking me if I live here?"

The bodycam video shows the two men get into a physical altercation. Then a shot is heard and Raynor falls to the ground.

Raynor, 26, was shot in the head but survived the attack. The officer was taken to Halifax Hospital, where he received emergency surgery.

Wallace fled the scene of the shooting.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement issued a Blue Alert for Wallace earlier this week. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office offered a $100,00 reward for information about Wallace's whereabouts that lead to his arrest. The reward was increased to $200,000 on Friday.

A multi-agency manhunt was initiated to track down Wallace.

Wallace had escaped to Georgia, where he was reportedly found by law enforcement in a treehouse that was fortified with weapons and ammunition, including two rifles, two handguns, multiple flashbangs, rifle plates, body armor, and several boxes of ammo.

During his arrest, Wallace allegedly told authorities, "You guys know who I am. You know what I am capable of. It could've been a lot worse."

Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young said that officers used Raynor's handcuffs to apprehend Wallace.

Wallace was reportedly located on a 3-acre property outside of Atlanta that is affiliated with a group called the Not F***ng Around Coalition. The NFAC is a black nationalist paramilitary organization.

The NFAC, which is led by hip-hop DJ Grand Master Jay, has a goal of forming a new ethnostate that is "owned, operated by Blacks, funded through reparations to descendants of the trans-Atlantic slave trade," according to Vice. A report on the NFAC from The Atlantic states, "Eventually, it intends to establish a racially pure country called the United Black Kemetic Nation ('Kemet,' Jay explained, 'is the original name of Egypt, which means 'land of the Blacks)."

A large arsenal of weapons was discovered at other structures on the property. The U.S. Marshals, FBI, Homeland Security, Georgia State Patrol, and DeKalb County police were all involved in the capture of Wallace. The search warrant was executed at 2:30 a.m., according to officials.

Othal Wallace is facing attempted first-degree murder charges for the police shooting.

Chief Young said law enforcement officers searched for 56 hours with little sleep to track down Wallace.

"The investigation as a whole was extremely challenging," Young said. "The biggest challenge was just keeping everyone emotionally intact. Because officer safety is critical."

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) issued a statement on the apprehension of Wallace: "The suspect in the vicious shooting of Police Officer Jason Raynor was apprehended by Georgia police at a black nationalist paramilitary encampment. There is no place for hate in Florida. Our law enforcement will be protected. Justice will be swift."

Raynor is still in the hospital, where he is showing "positive signs of improvement," but "he still has a ways to go," according to Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young.

"We're just going to continue to pray that he continues to heal. And I have the permission of his mother and sister to let everybody know that, you know, they greatly appreciate the support that they've received and they request that we just continue to keep officer Raynor in our prayers," Young said.

A GoFundMe campaign was started to raise money for the recovery of Raynor, who has been with the Daytona Beach Police Department for three years.

Bodycam footage captures the moment suspect shoots cop in head; county placed on lockdown as manhunt for shooter continues



Disturbing body camera footage captured the moment a suspect reportedly shot a Daytona Beach, Florida, police officer in the head.

The incident has sparked a countywide manhunt for the suspect, who remains at large at the time of this reporting.

Manhunt underway for 'coward' who shot Daytona Beach officer, chief sayswww.youtube.com

What are the details?

A release from the Daytona Beach Police detailed the incident, which took place on Wednesday.

Video shows the moment the unnamed officer approached the suspect, 29-year-old Othal Wallace, as Wallace sat inside his vehicle.

According to the Daytona Beach News-Journal, "The officer was conducting a 'proactive patrol' just before 9 p.m. Wednesday, Young said during a press conference. The officer had earlier radioed he was investigating a suspicious incident, according to a tweet from the police department."

"Upon arrival he contacted a coward ... and as he was escorting him out of the car, at some point the suspect turns and shoots my officer one time in the head," Young said, according to the outlet.

As the officer approaches, Wallace can be seen getting out of the vehicle and asks, "What's going on?" The officer tells the suspect to sit back down, but he refuses and asks the officer to back up.

"Come on now, come on now. Don't do this," the suspect can be heard saying.

A struggle ensues and a distinct "pop" can be heard as the suspect reportedly shoots the officer, who immediately falls to the ground.

"Several minutes passed and the officer stopped responding to other officers calling him on the radio," the News-Journal report continued. "When officers arrived they found him lying on the ground suffering from a gunshot wound, according to a police statement."

The suspect fled from the scene, and the officer was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. He remains hospitalized in critical condition, according to reports.

Early Thursday morning, Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young tweeted, "No change in the status of my hero who was shot in the line of duty last night. He's fighting while all of us are praying[.] The manhunt continues for the coward responsible for this[.]"

In a press release, police say that they are offering a $100,000 reward for locating the suspect.

In a Wednesday night press conference, Young said, "This entire county is on lockdown until we track this coward down. So I'm grateful for every agency that's responded over here tonight to help us as they're committed to staying out there until we get this coward in custody."

The Daytona Beach Police tweeted the footage and captioned it, "A $100,000 reward is now available for anyone who can help authorities locate the man who shot one of our officers in the head earlier this evening. The man we're looking for is located in the video below. His name is Othal Wallace. He's 29 years old."

A second tweet shared a snapshot of the suspect and added, "Othal Wallace may be in a gray 2016 Honda HRV with a California tag of 7TNX532. Anyone with information is urged to contact 911 immediately."

On Thursday, the News-Journal reported that the unnamed officer was out of surgery.

Young added that the officer, however, is still fighting for his life.

"The surgery was fairly successful," he said according to the outlet. "He still has a long way to go."
