Florida State University shooter Phoenix Ikner touted vile white supremacist views that raised serious concerns among his classmates — including that “Rosa Parks was in the wrong” and that black people were destroying his community.

Ikner, who allegedly killed two people and wounded six others when he opened fire on campus Thursday, horrified other students with his “gross” race rhetoric.

One classmate from Ikner’s former school, Tallahassee State College, recalled how he was asked to leave a “political round table” club over his hate speech.

“Basically our only rule was no Nazis — colloquially speaking — and he espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric, and far-right rhetoric as well, to the point where we had to exercise that rule,” Reid Seybold told the Tallahassee Democrat.

Another classmate said Ikner was vocal in their federal politics class promoting his disturbing views about black people, as well as far-right conspiracy theories such as former President Joe Biden was fraudulently elected.

His opinions were so troubling that the classmate, Lucas Luzietti, chillingly remembered thinking that “this man should not have access to firearms.”

“I got into arguments with him in class over how gross the things he said were,” Lucas Luzietti told USA TODAY.

“I remember thinking this man should not have access to firearms,” he added.

“What are you supposed to do? His mother was a cop and Florida doesn’t have very strong red flag laws.”

Ikner, who mother was a Leon County Sheriff’s deputy, made it very clear that he had guns, classmates said. One of the firearms he unloaded Thursday is believed to belong to his mom.

“It’s so sad and so shocking,” Luzietti said of the shooting. “Then to see that it was him — I’m sadly not surprised.”
