he following is an official IM statement on the recent events that we, myself and other IM administrators and coordinators, had compiled after examining the situation. It is very important that you all read this carefully.
There are absolutely no words to express what has happened, it was a complete tragedy. Our deepest sympathies are with all Atomwaffen supporters, especially the survivor, Odin, who is currently in police custody, and to the families of the two young men, Jeremy and Andrew who lost their lives.
We are writing this statement for several purposes but first we are to address the misleading nature of the reporting and shed further light on what we now know, but for clarity our assertions are;
We are not here to place the blame on anyone and such measures are counter productive. This was a horrific attack that has left a deep scar on all those concerned in it. Nowhere will this ever be allowed to happen again.
No surrender to system tools. You are scum, you are not human, we hate you all, we will detail your disgusting crimes against National Socialists.
This is a full disclosure, nobody on IM has anything to hide regarding this incident.
The member known as Odin and the two men slain are completely innocent of any accusation that the group conducted or advocated, or planned for terrorist acts – something they all rejected. The filthy lying media have been deliberately distorting police reports in order to punish and publicly shame those who have been nothing but the victims in this incident or who are not alive to defend themselves.
We 100% support our friend Odin and we are thinking of him a lot.
IronMarch endorses Atomwaffen but we are separate entities, do not directly conflate one with the other. Everyone knows that IM is neither a movement, nor does it have any control over, or is aware of the actions of any movement we endorse - we are foremost a place of learning, and as such we provide these groups with educational materials, advice if it is asked for, and a platform for their voice.
IronMarch banned Devon’s account when it became known he converted to the terrorist ideology of Islam and we did everything we reasonably could to try and have him removed from the organization. We object in the strongest possible terms that he was in any way ‘representative’ of IM or it’s ethos.
We have good reason to believe that the attacker, Devon, planned this attack with other fellow coreligionists, and his ambitions to murder AW members far exceeded this tragic event. All Muslims have been isolated and ejected from the group, and appropriate measures taken for the safety of those facing a reasonable threat.
We are thankful to all of those who were brave enough to express their condolences, it has been genuinely appreciated.
As the older users here are aware, Devon is a former IM user and AtomWaffen member. For the newer users: while Odin was in basic training Devon tried to assert more control in the group and this was around that time he started to obnoxiously annoy people with islamic crap that grew in severity, at first this was ignored as trolling, but then it became so prevalent and with a repeating pattern (trying to "trick" people into saying the shahada for example) that some of us, including myself, had confronted him about it to get a straight answer out of him on his behavior. He said that he was entirely serious and genuine about having converted to Islam and that everything he was saying was serious. He launched into a tirade about how Europe was getting what it deserved, how the mass rape of European women was a good thing and he claimed that he was aiming to turn AW into a muslim organization altogether and would convert Odin to join him and that he would get in contact with ISIS and his bosnian friends would give him a child bride. He was immediately banned from IronMarch after that conversation. He would later try to cover for these statements by claiming that the latter of them were some kind of 'joke' or 'prank', however at that stage I personally regarded him as absolutely untrustworthy.
