CNN discussing the temple shooter now -

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

I had no idea there were white supremacist rock bands and festivals.

1. Yep. A whole subculture of hate.

Sickening, isn't it?

[Major Nikon]

17. Not as much as the Chik fil a shitbags, IMO

It's not that I have anything good to say about skinhead shitbags, but at least those who hate overtly can be easily identified, you know where they stand, and they have little compunction about being ostracized from decent society. The anti-gay shitbags still teach their children to hate. They still promote bigotry and hate which inevitably leads to violence and other societal ills. The difference is they are much more highly organized and are capable of much more harm because they are fully integrated in our culture.

2. seriously, how badly does someone have to suck

to have to resort to claims of racially superiority
AND to then build their identity on that

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

3. The anchor was calling it a punk band

And later changed it to punk white supremacist band.

4. Sure are

And more people would have known...if that DHS report hadn't been suppressed by the Republicans!

But, I can understand, they need to protect the ones who will do the killing for them!

5. The KKK is a disignated terrorist organization but since they're white they get t be represented

...by proxy or directly by these bastards

[sinkingfeeling]

6. Southern Poverty Law Center can explain it.

[get the red out]

7. Me neither

This is a sub-culture that seems to bubble below the surface. Disgusting.

8. You need to get out more, or surf YouTube every once in a while

Check this out-
Once a year folks who are usually known for getting married to their first cousin meet to listen to horrible music, share STDs and paint clown faces

9. never understood how these people could think they're supreme ANYTHING.

Sadly, stupid breeds.

11. The Art Mann show should cover THIS party of drunks.

He has a show on AXSTV owned by Mark Cuban and travels from festival to festival interviewing drunks. More people need to know about this ignorant culture.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. I usually try to avoid horrible music, so I guess that's why

I've missed out on white supremacist rock. Christian rock is bad enough, but it's bad because it's treacly, derivative and painfully cheerful. White supremacist rock - I just can't imagine what that's like. It probably makes Norwegian black metal sound like Mozart (though that bunch was pretty dodgy, too).

10. You shoud look into the White Identity Church movement

It's what nightmares are made off. So our perp was a regular attendee I take it.

Worst, he was the leader of one of the bands...picture emerging, while not shocking...should scare people. Nightmares.

13. This thread I started yesterday is relevant

When I posted it, it was based on my knowledge of what is also called the fire across the plain, book by same title is worth reading.

Seems I was not off

14. When I was in..

the Klan, W.A.R. and the Order where getting their guys to enlist, lay low and get in to some of the more intensive schools ie. Airborne, Air Assault and Ranger school. This was back in the late 80's and 90's.
Most of my fellow grunts were from the South and Southwest and it was easy for these guys to get in and then take some of that training back to their idiot friends that couldn't get in.

15. Well known problem.

And in the mid 2000s, with recruiting problems, the Inspector General even issued a warning.

[ananda]

16. I had no idea either.

This is scary shit.
