Nazi group uncovered after Colorado teen kills himself to prove his commitment to killing Jews

The suicide of a Boulder, Colorado teenager has led to the exposure of a network of neo-Nazi teens who chatted on Facebook about killing black people and Jews.

The Boulder Daily Camera reported Thursday that at least five high schoolers have been expelled from classes over their racist Facebook group, “4th Reich’s Official Group Chat.” The group’s existence came to light after its ringleader killed himself on Sep. 21 “to show his allegiance to the Nazi party and the killing of Jewish people,” said a police report.

The unnamed teen — who went by the online handle “The Fuhrer” — was a student at the Boulder Preparatory charter school, but the Nazi group’s members attended multiple schools including Boulder High, Centaurus High in Lafayette, Monarch High in Louisville, Pomona High in Arvada and Colorado Mountain College.

The name “Fourth Reich” came from the students’ belief that they are the ideological descendants of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich, the Nazi regime that dominated Germany and sparked World War II. Members regularly talked about executing “ni**ers” and Jews, invoked Hitler’s “final solution”

Well, at least he had the decency to take the great advice The Stranger's "Last Days" column used to offer(often after reporting on a murder-suicide somewhere) :

"If you're planning a murder-suicide, do the suicide part first".

(don't mean to sound harsh, and my condolences to the kid's family, but Jesus...)

I don't know what can be done about this. Parts of our online world do a LOT of harm to young minds.

I tell ya' - I am so glad I raised three kiddos before all this social media crap was available..grads HS '84, '86, 87 -

There is no excuse for the parents not knowing...unless they knew and their nurturing provided the environment for this behavior...sickening..

Any other children in any of the families involved, should be removed by CPS..drastic..ya' - someone needs to intervene - for the sake of the children as well as the public...

is now trying to get his suspension from school revoked because "the club was only a joke". These kids are sick like the Columbine shooters were but we can't put all the blame on parents; our whole society has become more hateful, bigoted, and lacking in compassion. And we have allowed a joker candidate for the most powerful office in the world. Shame on us all.

Shame on the GOP. . Shame on the idiots taken by the Donald's "stardom". . . "WE" as a society should be ashamed, I suppose, which is probably what you are saying, but I still have to take issue with that. I can honestly say that "I" have NOTHING to do with a society that produces a fool like this as a presidential candidate.
Lots of people should be ashamed. Good liberals who've spotted this fool from afar and made no secret of it have nothing to apologize for.
