The shooter who killed eight people at a Dallas-area mall was wearing a patch that read “RWDS,' short for “Right Wing Death Squad.”.
FILE - People identifying themselves as members of the Proud Boys join supporters of President Donald Trump for pro-Trump marches, Nov. 14, 2020, in Washington. Two supporter in the center are wearing hats with red lettering that read RWDS, which is short for Right Wing Death Squad. The gunman who killed eight people on Saturday, May 6, 2023, at a Dallas-area mall was wearing a RWDS patch.
The term “Right Wing Death Squad” originally emerged in the 1970s and '80s to describe Central and South American paramilitary groups created to support right-wing governments and dictatorships and oppose perceived enemies on the left, said Oren Segal, vice president of the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism.
“It essentially became a phrase that was co-opted to demonstrate opposition to the left more broadly by right-wing extremists,” Segal said., the neo-fascist group of self-described “Western chauvinists,” are largely responsible for injecting “RWDS” into the far-right vernacular.
