A far-right group in Florida has been regularly projecting hate symbols onto downtown buildings. Groups like this look to capitalize on what they see as a favorable political climate.
Members of the white nationalist group National Socialist Florida use a laser projector to display white nationalist and anti-LGBTQ images on the side of the CSX building and other high-rise buildings in Jacksonville, Fla.Members of the white nationalist group National Socialist Florida use a laser projector to display white nationalist and anti-LGBTQ images on the side of the CSX building and other high-rise buildings in Jacksonville, Fla.JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
"What we're really going for is people putting it on social media and spreading it around and pushing the conversation in the public arena," Nunes says.Nunes and his group first tried the laser projections last year during a college football game. They projected a messagethat read,"Kanye is right about the Jews!" The line was a nod to recent anti-Semitic rants by the artist and business mogul Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.
This year, the governor tapped into outrage fueled by disinformation over Critical Race Theory by threatening to end high school advanced placement courses in African American Studies. Last year, DeSantis signed the so-called"don't say gay" law that barred classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through third grade.
Nunes oversees this campaign to spread hate like a foreman watching his crew pour cement."So it's like when we've got two or three guys out here, we're not trying to have people accost us," he says, explaining that they're looking to avoid confrontations with pedestrians or police. An unhoused man in the alley can't sleep with some of the noise Nunes and his crew are making. He gets up and asks what they're doing. Nunes offers the man some homemade coffee he brought for the guys in the group, brushing away questions. Nunes suspects a police helicopter might be overhead. They begin packing up to move to a different spot. They take off their gaiters and walk through downtown Jacksonville unnoticed.
"They want the community to view this as a normal occurrence, so they're attempting to make it a normal occurrence by going out every weekend and using these laser projectors to do this," Popp says.
