Registered users of the Internet’s largest white supremacist forum – dubbed “a magnet for the deadly and deranged” -- have carried out nearly 100 murders in the past five years, a group that tracks “hate groups” reported Thursday.
The report by the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center found users of Stormfront.org, which advocates “white power,” have been disproportionately responsible for some of the most deadly hate crimes and mass killings since the site’s founding in 1995.
“Stormfront is the murder capital of the racist Internet,” said Heidi Beirich, report author and Intelligence Project director. “It has been a magnet for the deadly and deranged."
craigs list is worse.
They have a bad habit of assuming any shooting club or NRA sanctioned Hi-power shoot must be a Right Wing Militia meeting.
I don’t think much of Stormfront, but I think even less of the SPLC.
> Nine men who were allegedly prolific posters on the white supremacist website Stormfront were responsible for killing almost 100 people over the past five years, according to a report released today by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Quick, someone do some math and try to rationalize how this isn’t that many murders spread out among nine killers over a period of five years!
I don’t believe it, but a thought occurred to me; How many members come from the prison gangs like Aryan Brotherhood? Having to join to defend your life from the black gangs in prison could certainly twist a guy up? Just curious,,,,,,,,,
Must be why the deranged Southern Poverty Law Center is attracted to it.
Unfortunately, it isn't just the media he conjures up boogeymen for. Think DHS, FBI, BATFE, to name a few.
Almost 20 murders a year? And how many people are involved?
Agreed 100 percent. I've posted the same myself many times. Mark Potok in particular is as hate filled as anybody who ever wore a white sheet over their heads.
Yes, I would like to know the number of deaths by black gang members during the same five year period.
These are BOTH potentially national problems... let’s LOOK at all the numbers.
While we’re at it, let’s compare the number of murders (convicted only) by political party. And the number of prison inmates by political party.
How about “occupy’ or some of the radical left groups?
Seriously GFY
And how many murders do blacks commit weekly?
Stormfront likes the Pauls, but they sure don’t like frerepublic.
Greg is White, Greg is Nazi, therefore all whites are Nazi.
Don’t have any use for SPLC, but this is why Stormfront articles are verboten on FR. Posts will be shot on sight. Insistent posters of said articles will also be shot on sight.
That's a slow body count month on the South Side of Chicago
100 murders over 5 years are 20 murders a year.
20 murders a year is an average of 1.7 people per month or roughly one murder every two weeks.
1.7 murders on average is a slow Saturday night in Chicago .
The people killed by the members of the White Supremacists are 90% either friends, family members, members of biker gangs, crime partners or drug casualties and 99% are white
So whats the point?
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is an American nonprofit civil rights organization noted for its legal victories against white supremacist groups; its legal representation for victims of hate groups; its classification of militias and extremist organizations; and its educational programs that promote tolerance.[2][3][4] The SPLC also classifies and lists hate groups – organizations that in its opinion “attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics.”[5] The SPLC’s hate group list has been the source of some controversy.[6][7]
In 1971, Morris Dees and Joseph J. Levin Jr. founded the SPLC as a civil rights law firm based in Montgomery, Alabama.[8] Civil rights leader Julian Bond soon joined Dees and Levin and served as president of the board between 1971 and 1979.[9] The SPLC’s litigating strategy involves filing civil suits for damages on behalf of the victims of hate group harassment, threats, and violence with the goal of financially depleting the responsible groups and individuals. While it originally focused on damages done by the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups, throughout the years the SPLC has become involved in other civil rights causes, among them, cases concerned with institutional racial segregation and discrimination, the mistreatment of aliens, and the separation of church and state. Along with civil rights organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League, the SPLC has provided information about hate groups to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).[10]
The SPLC does not accept government funds, nor does it charge its clients legal fees or share in their court-awarded judgments. Most of its funds come from direct mail campaigns[11] which have helped it to build substantial monetary reserves. Its fundraising appeals and accumulation of reserves have been the subject of some criticism.
