Is it redundant to mention the word "racists" in an article that reports that KKK members, who worked at the Florida Dept of Corrections, plotted to kill a black inmate?
KKK members worked for Florida DOC, hatched bomb-murder plot, Pam Bondi says
Three members of the Traditional American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan two Florida Department of Corrections employees and one former member where arrested today in murder-conspiracy plot..
Thomas Jordan Driver, 25, David Elliot Moran, 47, and Charles Thomas Newcomb, 42, all face one state count of conspiracy to commit murder for allegedly plotting to kill a former inmate after his release from prison, Attorney General Pam Bondi's Office of Statewide Prosecution said.
"Driver and Morgan are employees at the Florida Department of Corrections, and Newcomb is a former DOC employee," Bondi's office said in a statement. "The defendants plotted the murder as retaliation for a fight between the inmate, who is African American, and Driver."
The Attorney General's Office of Statewide Prosecution will prosecute this case in Columbia County.

(3,626 posts)1. The only thing surprising about this
is that Bondi is the epitome of right wing republican and is actually pursuing this case. She's best known for being [from Wiki] "...the lead attorney general in an unsuccessful lawsuit seeking to overturn the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in Florida et al v. United States Department of Health and Human Services. In the lawsuit the State of Florida and 26 other states argued that the individual mandate provision of the PPACA violates the United States Constitution."
