A right-wing activist who was sacked from the Royal Marines for neo-Nazi links encouraged a crowd to fight back against asylum seekers for Charlie Kirk.
John Carr, 29, stood with a group from the far-right ‘Homeland Party’ outside of Farmers Hall in Aberdeen, where asylum seekers were being housed.
He referenced Charlie Kirk’s death to the large crowd yesterday and claimed counter-protestors nearby ‘only cared about being anti-white’.
‘They don’t care about refugees. They care about being anti-white. They care about hating our people. That’s why they stand there,’ he shouted.
Earlier this year, Carr was fired from the Royal Marines when counter-terror police probed him about neo-Nazi links.

He’s since tried to raise money for being ‘silenced’.
He continued shouting to the crowd: ‘Charlie Kirk’s assassination … Who across the street supported that and thought it was great? Who is happy Charlie Kirk is dead?
‘Who here walks down the street and sees these African, these Arab men, who are put in these hotels for free? They are not saying thank you for giving us your wages so we can live here. They’re talking down to us. They are shouting at us. They’re abusing our people.
‘I’ll finish with this. We do not consent. We have a right to decide who we share our nation with – and we want remigration now.’
The mob then began chanting ‘Send them home!’
Carr was initially suspended from the Navy before being sacked for his extremist views.
He told TalkTV earlier this year: ‘I am not a neo-Nazi. I am a member of the Homeland Party, it’s on the Electoral Commission. It’s a party that is in no way associated with anything Nazi, and I wouldn’t be a part of it if it were.’
Kirk’s death is already being used by many to justify their extreme views.
Earlier this week, it was reported the US military might use his death in a new recruitment drive.
Two officials told NBC that new slogans could include ‘Charlie has awakened a generation of warriors’, as a sort of ‘call to service’.
It’s thought the Pentagon might join forces with Turning Point USA, the organisation Kirk began, to enter schools and help recruit people into the military.
Despite the pomp and circumstance of his death, including being flown on a Presidential plane, Kirk never served in the US military.
