A paid FBI informant was the man behind a neo-Nazi march through the streets of Parramore that stirred up anxiety in Orlando's black community and fears of racial unrest that triggered a major police mobilization.
That revelation came Wednesday in an unrelated federal court hearing and has prompted outrage from black leaders, some of whom demanded an investigation into whether the February 2006 march was, itself, an event staged by law-enforcement agencies.
The FBI would not comment on what it knew about the involvement of its informant, 39-year-old David Gletty of Orlando, in the neo-Nazi event. In court Wednesday, an FBI agent said the bureau has paid its informant at least $20,000 during the past two years.
"Wow," Gletty said when reached by phone late Wednesday. "It is what it is. You were there in court. I can't really go into any detail now."
Orlando City Councilwoman Daisy Lynum, whose district includes the march route west of Interstate 4, said she wants to know who was behind the march, the neo-Nazis or the FBI and other law-enforcement agencies.
"If it was staged, I would feel very uncomfortable and would ask for a full-scale investigation," Lynum said. "To come into a predominantly black community which could have resulted in great harm to the black community? I would hate to be part of a game. It's a mockery to the community for someone else to be playing a game with the community..."
Of course, the scandal as presented by the main$tream is "Isn't it terrible what the government did? Should the FBI have agents infiltrating Neo-Nazi organizations?" The real problem is it wasn't a real FBI agent infiltrating these terrorists.
The terribly scandalous thing the government did was pay an informant.
Paid stoolies and narcs have a financial interest in stirring up criminal trouble.
A legitimate FBI agent infiltrating the ranks of a terrorist organization like the neo nazis is one thing. A good thing, I would say. A nazi who takes money from the Feds to squeal is an entirely different matter, with completely different motivations than a policeman or Fed who's playing a role to keep the peace.
