The group, called "Alt-Reich Nation," contained racist posts, he said.

"When I look at the information that's contained on that website, suffice it to say that it's despicable, it shows extreme bias against women, Latinos, persons of Jewish faith and especially African-Americans," Mitchell said.

The FBI digital forensics team will look for information online that sheds light on the case, Mitchell said.

The suspect has not told police any motive, he said.

Gordon Johnson, an agent in the FBI's Baltimore field office, said his office assists in hate crime investigations. He called Collins a "national treasure," and said people should remember the victim and his family.

"This is a terribly, terribly dark time for them, and we can't forget about that," Johnson said.

The killing comes after a series of racist incidents at the college in recent months. A noose was found in a fraternity house earlier this month, and posters promoting nationalism were found on campus earlier this year.

We're trying to ban Muslims from coming into the US and drafting legislation to curb protestsers (read: BLM), but it seems brazen acts of violence carried out under the banner of white supremacy is a subject white Americans don't want to address. Why is that? I posted a topic about the rise of the alt right last week and it was largely scoffed at. Why the willful blindness to such a clear issue?

Wait, are they unironically calling themselves the Alt-Reich?

I guess they aren't hiding it anymore after the Spencer incident.
