Judge Tosses Charge Against Va. White Supremacist
Judge Tosses Charge Against Va. White Supremacist
MIKE ROBINSON, AP Legal Affairs Writer
CHICAGO (AP) ― A federal judge has dismissed a charge that an avowed white supremacist used his Web site to encourage harm to a juror, saying that the postings were protected by the constitutional right to freedom of speech.
William White of Roanoke, Va., the self-styled leader of the American National Socialist Workers Party, published the name, photograph, home address and phone number of the juror on his Web site, overthrow.com. The juror had been a foreman of a jury that in April 2004 convicted another avowed white supremacist, Matthew Hale, of soliciting the murder of a federal judge.
Judge Lynn Adelman said in his ruling Tuesday the postings stopped short of specifically urging anyone to harm the juror.
“The fact that defendant knew that white supremacists sometimes viewed his Web site and sometimes harmed people they perceived as enemies is insufficient to transform his lawful statements about Juror A into criminal advocacy,” he said.
“Knowledge or belief that one’s speech, even speech advocating law breaking, may cause others to act, does not remove the speech from the protection of the First Amendment unless the speech is directed to inciting imminent lawless action and is likely to produce such action.”
White’s Web site regularly attacked non-whites, Jews and homosexuals and expressed approval of acts of violence. The foreman’s name had not previously been public; the juror had been identified only as “Juror A” in court documents.
First Assistant U.S. Attorney Gary S. Shapiro said the government was reviewing the ruling and would consider what steps to take next if any.
White’s attorney, Nishay Kumar Sanan, Adelman “obviously followed the law and made the right decision — that Bill White’s speech was protected by the First Amendment.” He said the government already has sought to stay the ruling while it decides whether to appeal.
White also faces federal charges in Virginia of making online threats to several others, including a civil rights lawyer in Canada and a mayor in New Jersey. Even if the government does not appeal, White cannot be released until there is a bond hearing in the Virginia case, Sanan said.
Adelman, whose court is in Milwaukee, was brought into the case after Chief Judge James F. Holderman recused all of the judges of the Chicago-based U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois from sitting in the case. He acted because the Hale case involved a Chicago-based judge.

Sheriff: Explosives at home of deputy’s killer
Sheriff: Explosives at home of deputy’s killer
By CINDY HORSWELL
July 14, 2009
More than a hundred incendiary devices — including homemade pipe bombs, explosive boxes with booby traps and altered tear gas devices — were found in the Baytown area home of the former police officer authorities said fatally shot a Chambers County deputy and then killed himself.
So many devices were found scattered around Gilbert Ortez Jr.’s mobile home at 2102 W. Osage that a portion of the neighborhood remained evacuated late Tuesday, the day after a deadly shootout.
“One of the bombs could have taken out the whole trailer,” said Chambers County Sheriff Joe LaRive, saying the explosive devices violated a number of federal laws.
Shane Thomas Detwiler, who had worked for the sheriff’s office for two months, was killed while investigating a shooting at Ortez’s home.
LaRive said an autopsy showed Detwiler had been shot repeatedly. One shot aimed at his heart was stopped by the body armor — two vests that he wore for extra protection — but he was killed by two bullets that struck his head.
Ortez used a high-powered rifle to kill Detwiler, the sheriff said. He then turned the rifle on himself and took his life with a single shot to the head, investigators said.
Investigators recovered an unknown number of guns, including rapid fire assault rifles, from his home.
Bomb squads on Tuesday were removing the explosive devices, putting them inside special canisters and then packing those canisters inside a giant truck loaded with sand.
“We are taking every precaution in case these things go off,” LaRive said.
At the same time, investigators said they found drawings of swastikas and Nazis displayed in Ortez’s trailer.
“We don’t know if he was a member of some white supremacist group or what,” LaRive said. “We are looking into everything.”
No warrant?
Ortez’s relatives on Tuesday expressed condolences to Detwiler’s family. Some also questioned whether law enforcement officers had the authority to enter the trailer without a search warrant.
“We feel all this could have been prevented. It is senseless that anyone had to lose their life,” said Dora Frie, Ortez’s sister.
La Rive said no warrant is required if there is an immediate threat or fear that someone may be in jeopardy, such as after a shooting incident.
According to investigators, Ortez’s common-law wife, Pamela Leggett-Ortez, 29, had fired twice at two meter readers for cutting off the water supply.
Investigators said Ortez had either not paid his bill or was illegally hooking up a hose to get water from another trailer.
Woman had gun
Three deputies and one Texas Department of Public Safety trooper responded to that shooting. They arrested Pamela Ortez, who had a handgun in her waistband, on the front porch, LaRive said.
Then Detwiler and Trooper Kevin Kelley “announced themselves” as they proceeded to enter the trailer, LaRive said.
Diane Ortez, a sister of the accused shooter, said she had talked to Pamela on the telephone at the hospital where she was taken after her arrest.
“She said that she told the officers that they did not have permission to enter her home,” said Diane Ortez. She pointed out that a sign on Gilbert Ortez’s front door that warns against trespassing.
The officers said that Pamela Ortez “yelled and screamed” to alert her husband that law enforcement officers were entering.
Her relatives hope surveillance cameras that Gilbert Ortez had installed around his house may prove what she is saying.
“We will be reviewing any videotape, if any was taken,” the sheriff said.
Ortez’s family finds it difficult to believe he would harm an officer because he himself had been one and loved the job.
According to his family, he was a police officer in the tiny Liberty County town of Kenefick for three years until the department was disbanded by the city in 2002.
A graduate of Barbers Hill High School in 1991, Ortez, who used the nickname “tuffy,” also worked as an emergency medical technician and did odd jobs as a welder and computer maintenance worker, his family said.
But for the past 10 months he was unemployed, which led to his inability to pay his water bill, his family said.
“They’re trying to make him seem like a monster, but he’s not,” said Ortez’s nephew Travis Jackson. “He was a loving uncle who gave me rides to school.”
Family members recall Ortez making fireworks and having an extensive gun collection — but nothing illegal.
“He was cocky like the biggest rooster in the nest,” said Siobhan Morales, Ortez’s niece. “I think the shooting happened because he was startled and trying to protect his property. There are two families grieving here.”

Differing pictures emerge of Pa. slaying victim
Differing pictures emerge of Pa. slaying victim
By DAN BERRETT
Pocono Record
Posted: July 17, 2009
More than a week after the brutal slaying of Victoria Adams and her 18-month-old son, Sidney, a complicated and contradictory picture of the dead mother has emerged.
Family and friends have beatified Adams, 21, as a dedicated mother of an ailing child. They said she was a loving soul, and a woman battered by her boyfriend and accused killer, the skinhead Michael Parrish.
But Adams also left behind a troubling legacy — an online trail of white supremacist affiliations, images, and racist rants — which her family says was at odds with who she really was, and only proved Parrish’s mental abuse of her.
Slaying Synopsis
Michael John Parrish, 23, is accused of shooting and killing his girlfriend and ailing 18-month-old son July 6 in Effort, Pa., about 40 miles – as the crow flies – southwest of Port Jervis. He was apprehended July 7 in New Hampshire.
A New Hampshire police affidavit stated that Parrish had a loaded .357 Glock pistol in a holster near the small of his back and two magazine clips in his pockets. That began the process to get him back to Pennsylvania, where Parrish will be charged with the killings of his girlfriend, Victoria Adams, 21, and their 18-month-old son, Sidney Parrish.
According to Kim Adams, Victoria’s mother, the coroner told her that her daughter was shot seven times and her grandson three times. The coroner also told Kim Adams that Victoria was holding Sidney in the boy’s room when police discovered the bodies.
Parrish was employed as a guard at the Monroe County Correctional Facility.
Prison officials said he was about to complete his one-year probationary period as a correction officer after being hired last August.
Parrish was a jealous, abusive, white supremacist who cut off Adams from family and friends, according to her family.
Adams was trying to break up with Parrish when she and her son were shot to death, her brother said.
“Can we ever know what was in her mind?” asked Nicole Lindemyer, policy and special projects manager for the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence. “Unfortunately, he took that from her.”
Clues on YouTube videos
Postings on YouTube and MySpace offer some clues.
One of Adams’ videos on YouTube is a 9-second spot titled “Sorry monkey scum we hate you.” Another has Adams showing off a swastika tattooed on her right arm as she hoists it in the air in an apparent Nazi salute. Accompanying one of the videos are 140 messages, including running commentary by her and other viewers. In them, she frequently harshly disparages members of other races and ethnicities.
“She was clearly a white supremacist, too,” said Mark Pitcavage, director of investigative research for the Anti-Defamation League, which monitors hate groups and has identified links between Adams, Parrish, and various neo-Nazi organizations. “She’s hanging out with the same circle that (Parrish) is.”
Parrish and Adams’ involvement in the white- power scene was well known, said Daryle Lamont Jenkins, director and co-founder of One People’s Project, which also tracks the movements of various hate groups.
“I don’t know if he influenced her or if she already had those beliefs,” he said. “They have been seen out in the street and they made no bones about what they believed.”
White supremacists also have made no secret of their affection for Adams in her death.
“You are the epitome of an Aryan Woman, an everything we fight for …” someone identified as SymbolicRetribution wrote ams that was set up on YouTube. Several messages are studded with swastikas; one ends, “White Pride World Wide Sieg Heil!!!”
“Vikki’s passing goes to the heart of us all. The APA shall remember you, always!” wrote the Aryan Preservation Alliance, a group that bills itself as dedicated to the survival of the white race.
A question of control
But Adams only espoused an extreme racist ideology to please Parrish, her family said. Parrish stocked the home they shared with memorabilia of Hitler and the Nazis, and his body bore more than a dozen hate-inspired tattoos.
According to the ADL and One People’s Project, Parrish was a probate — meaning he was en route to full-fledged membership — of the Vinlanders Social Club, an Indiana-based splinter group of the skinhead and white-supremacist movements.
The group is known for extreme violence. Brien James, the group’s leader, once punched and stomped a man nearly to death at a party for refusing to “seig heil,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors extreme right wing and racialist groups. The Vinlanders have become active in New York, New Jersey and, through the Keystone State Skinheads, in Pennsylvania as well.
Since the slayings, the Vinlanders have distanced themselves from Parrish.
“Anyone who has heard of this event is sickened by it, and having met Mike I am personally disturbed by the situation in a way that I have never experienced,” a statement on the group’s Web site read.
Adams’ family has described Parrish, a former corrections officer at Monroe County Correctional Facility, as physically and mentally abusive of her. They said Parrish was a “control freak” who terrorized her and isolated her from her family.
“I have a feeling that he was controlling her life,” said her father, Malcolm Adams. “If you had seen her with the baby, that’s not the type of person she was.”
Victoria Adams spent time in Philadelphia at Sidney’s bedside as he recovered from a heart transplant. But after she returned to the Poconos, she posted prolifically online. Those opinions, most of them posted during the weeks leading up to her murder, paint a picture of someone ideologically in league with Parrish, with skinhead salutations and avowals of her hatred of other races.
“A lot of that was just a front,” said Malcolm Adams. “I think she was saying that to appease him.”
Her aunt, Catherine Arnone, said she had pored over the videos posted online, trying to reconcile what she saw on screen with the woman she knew in reality. “It just doesn’t make any sense. The tattoo and all that — it was just recent,” she said. “Clearly, she was just brainwashed. The loneliness in her eyes, you can just see it.”
Adams’ past attitudes and actions did not fit with a white-supremacist ideology, the family said. After her parents divorced, they each dated people of color, with whom Adams got along well.
Bombshell secret never told
That Adams posted the videos was especially surprising because she kept a secret from Parrish — she was part Puerto Rican, the family said. “I don’t think he even knows to this day that he was with a woman who was Puerto Rican,” Arnone said.
But even these kinds of dissonant traits and identities are not unheard of in white-nationalist circles, said Mark Potok, director of the intelligence project at the Southern Poverty Law Center. Women who once may have dated a black man or had Jewish friends may later join white-nationalist groups.
“Very large numbers of women who enter this movement don’t come in for reasons of ideology,” Potok said. “The reality is that more often than not they come into these groups for the same reason they come into other communities — they’re looking for companionship and some sort of meaning in their lives.”
The indoctrination comes later, as a sense of belonging to the group develops. Or it can be coerced.
“There’s very little question that the white-nationalist subculture is thick with domestic violence,” Potok said. Typical of this type of violence is psychological control over the victim.
“It’s absolutely classic for an abuser to break someone down to make her feel bad about herself all the time,” said Lindemyer of the domestic violence coalition. “The mind control and mind games and making them feel like they’re losing it so they can be broken down, and reconstructing them as they want them to be.”
But, even if Adams was abused and spouted racist slogans only to please Parrish, that doesn’t excuse that she did it in the first place, said Lindemyer.
“I don’t want to take away the agency from her as an adult to say that she was not responsible,” she said. “We don’t want to pretend that all victims are perfect and lead completely unblemished lives.”
In light of her death, what Adams did or did not believe was beside the point, said Jenkins of One People’s Project. He added that the ultimate victim in the tragedy is her son, Sidney, who had no choice in the situation.
“My feeling about her is that what’s done is done. As much as I can be appalled by the things she said, right now I’m more appalled by what happened,” Jenkins said. “Nothing she did deserved this.”

DOUBLE MURDER SUSPECT CAUGHT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
Caught napping: Effort man, accused of killing girlfriend and their toddler son, arrested with friend
By Michael Sadowski
Pocono Record Writer
July 09, 2009
An accused killer and his buddy, on the run and driving for hours, got tired, so they asked a New Hampshire gas station attendant if they could sleep in a parking lot.
It turned out to be their downfall.
State police at Fern Ridge said Michael John Parrish, 23 — who is accused of shooting and killing his girlfriend and infant son in Effort on Monday — and his friend Conrad Jankowski, 23, of Wayne County pulled over at a gas station in Somersworth, N.H., around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.
“They told the attendant at the gas station) they were going to sleep in their car in the parking lot,” said Sgt. Brian S. Tobin of the Pennsylvania State Police barracks in Hazleton during a Wednesday press conference. “Rightfully, the attendant notified the local police department.”
Somersworth, N.H., police found the two in a white Ford Bronco sleeping, and a background check found they were wanted in Pennsylvania.
That led to the apprehension of Parrish, who, according to a New Hampshire police affidavit, had a loaded .357 Glock pistol in a holster near the small of his back and two magazine clips in his pockets, and Jankowski. That began the process to get them back to Pennsylvania, where Parrish will be charged with the Monday killings of his girlfriend, Victoria Adams, 21, and his 18-month-old son, Sidney Parrish.
When Somersworth police asked Jankowski where the pair were headed, he said “lower Maine” because they had never been there, according to New Hampshire court documents.
According to Kim Adams, Victoria’s mother, the coroner told her that her daughter was shot seven times and her grandson three times. The coroner also told Kim Adams that Victoria was holding Sidney in the boy’s room when police discovered the bodies.
Michael Parrish is charged in Pennsylvania with criminal homicide, attempted criminal homicide and aggravated assault. Jankowski is charged with hindering apprehension during the investigation into the shooting.
Both were charged in New Hampshire as fugitives from justice. After their video arraignments in Rochester District Court N.H.) on Wednesday morning, they were to be returned to Pennsylvania after they waived their extradition hearings. On the video arraignment, a number of tattoos are visible on each defendant; Jankowski has a swastika on his chest.
They were not expected back into the region until late Wednesday or early today, when Parrish will be arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Debby York in Brodheadsville.
Police confirmed that Jankowski was an “associate” of Parrish’s. Cell phone records linked the two, and through the course of the investigation, police determined the two may be together on the run.
It was multiple calls from neighbors complaining of noise that sounded like gunshots that brought police to the second-floor apartment that Parrish and Adams shared on Route 115 in Chestnuthill Township late Monday night, according to Tobin.
Police also got a call from James Ahern, 21, who police said dropped Adams off at the apartment earlier Monday night. Ahern and Adams are cousins and they were out with Adams’ brother, Keith Adams, and Ahern’s roommate, Chris Ramose.
Sidney Adams was home with his father when Ahern dropped off Victoria Adams, and police said that Parrish threatened Ahern with a 9 mm gun, then retreated into the house and fired a shotgun through the door when Ahern and his companions approached.
When Parrish is brought back to the area, Tobin said the accused shooter will not be held at Monroe County Correctional Facility because he is employed there as a guard.
Prison officials said he was about to complete his one-year probationary period as a corrections officer after being hired last August.
“As far as I know he was good, he had no problems in the jail,” said one Monroe County Correctional Facility employee, who asked not to be identified. “He probably would have been retained.”
News that Parrish was a suspect surprised most prison employees.
“Most guys had comments of, ‘I was really surprised. He seemed all right,’”Š”Š” the employee said.
Police said the investigation has been especially difficult because a young child was involved.
“When you have an investigation where a child is harmed, or in this case brutally murdered, it hits guys hard,” Tobin said.
Jason Claffey of the Foster’s Daily Democrat in Dover, N.H., contributed to this story.

FBI Busts Head of Punk Gang
By ELIZABETH BANICKI
CHICAGO (CN) – The founder of a punk gang shook down a musician for $5,000 and “purports to exert control through use of violence over hardcore punk rock music in clubs and concert venues in major cities nationwide,” federal prosecutors say. Elgin Nathan James was arrested this week in Los Angeles.
Prosecutors say James is the self-proclaimed founder of FSU, a violent punk gang that targets Neo-Nazi skinheads and drug dealers. The gang has chapters in several major U.S. cities.
He is charged with shaking down a Chicago-area band member, demanding – and getting – $5,000 to stop the gang’s intimidation and violence. The musician paid James $5,000, provided by the FBI, outside a Southern California club while the FBI watched, according to an agent’s affidavit.
James, who is of mixed race, founded the gang in the late 1990s to combat skinhead racism and drive skinheads out of Boston punk rock clubs, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
James is charged with attempted extortion, rather than extortion, because the victim was cooperating with law enforcement at the time of the payment, prosecutors said.

PHOENIX — Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas said Wednesday that a Valley man has pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated assault for a pair of racially motivated attacks that happened in Phoenix in March and June of 2007.
In March of 2007 a man wearing an anti-Nazi shirt was confronted by Chad Kerns, 31, and several other people at a bar. The victim was beaten and suffered minor injuries.
In June of 2007 an African American man was reportedly attacked outside a Phoenix drug store. Kerns allegedly stabbed the victim twice.
On July 15, Kerns pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated assault.
Sentencing for Kerns is set for August 14.
The County Attorney’s Office said that in media interviews Kerns denied claims he is an active skinhead even though he has a tattoo on his head that reads “Skinhead.”
On July 14, co-defendant Aaron Smith, 31, was sentenced to five years in the Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to aggravated assault and assisting a criminal street gang.

Graffiti sprayed in Hebron (al-Khalil) in the West Bank signed by the JDL calls for all Arabs to be sent to the gas chambers.
Crowds in Paris protesting an attack on a French bookstore have called on officials to dismantle the allegedly responsible Jewish militant group.
Four members of the Jewish Defense League were arrested on Sunday for breaking into the store run by pro-Palestinian activists. The masked attackers trashed the store, setting books ablaze and smashing computers.
The rally outside the Resistances bookstore attracted activists shouting against intimidation by the strong-arm tactics of the JDL.
“Imagine for one minute if this is a Jewish library, sure I would think that even [Nicolas] Sarkozy, the president would come here to say something about it,” French activist Liliana Cordova Kaczerginski, from the international Jewish anti-Zionist network told Press TV on Wednesday.
The LDJ has denied any involvement in the incident although the attackers had rushed in through the front door yelling loudly and claiming to be members of the group.
The group had previously attacked a bookstore located in a quiet residential neighborhood of the 17th arrondissement in northwest Paris in 2006. No arrests were made at the time.
The protestors have called on the French government to ban the extremist group — a move already been made in the United States and Israel.

What Obama Means For The White Nationalist Movement
By Michelle Goldberg – July 1, 2009, 1:46PM
First of all, I want to thank Leonard Zeskind not just for Blood and Politics, but for all the work he’s done over the years tracking the White Nationalist movement. While writing my first book, Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, I learned how psychologically grueling – not to mention tedious – it can be to spend lots of time in milieus whose values are radically opposed to one’s own. Leonard, you’ve persisted in this crucial work much longer than I ever could have, and I’d be curious to know how you manage it.
Though of course, that’s not the most pertinent question here. For me, the one looming issue raised by your book is what Obama means for this movement. I suspect the election of any Democratic president would have resulted in an increase in right-wing terrorism; as I’ve written many times before, it was no accident that right-wing domestic violence peaked amid all the febrile conspiracy-theorizing of the Clinton years and then fell off under Bush. But obviously Obama takes it to a whole new level – he’s pretty much the embodiment of the white nationalist movement’s nightmares. There are plenty of disturbing signs out there suggesting growing activity among violent, far-right groups. What are you seeing? And what do you predict?
I’d also be curious to hear your thoughts about the overlap between the mainstream demagogic right – say, Glenn Beck – and the movement you’re investigating here. One notable feature of our current moment is the way rhetoric that, in the 1990s, was largely the preserve of short-wave radio and Spotlight magazine is now a feature of prime-time television. Yet I don’t think Beck and his ilk are motivated by racism – rather, they’re in the grip of the kind of grandiose, closed-circuit apocalyptic thinking Richard Hofstadter wrote about so indelibly in “The Paranoid Style in American Politics.” The broader right shares some of the narratives of the white nationalist movement – the country is wallowing in decadent decline, beset by cosmopolitan conspiracies and awaiting a patriotic vanguard to rise up against tyranny. But it doesn’t share the white nationalist movement’s ultimate goal of a white-only society. What, then, is their relationship?

Radical nationalists hold demos in Budapest
Saturday, 11 July 2009
Demonstrations of over 2,500 supporters of radical nationalist organisations held in two locations in central Budapest ended peacefully in the early evening hours on Saturday.
Gabor Szabo, party director of radical nationalist Jobbik announced that his party’s recently banned Hungarian Guard would be re-established and handed over symbolic black vests to prominent personalities of the movement including founding members of the dissolved organisation.
Hungary’s former defence minister Lajos Fur, as well as Jobbik head Gabor Vona and Jobbik’s MEPs Krisztina Morvai and Csanad Szegedi were among those putting on the Guard’s uniform.
Vona told the crowd that Jobbik was “preparing to govern” and its deputies, if in the next parliament, would be wearing Guard uniforms at its first session. He added that his party would continue its fight against the ban on the Guard. It is not the Guard, but “Gypsy criminals, drug users, multi-national companies, Israeli acquisitions in the country and the government itself that the people find terrifying,” he said.
Protesters in Erzsebet Square – many of them waving the red and white stripes along with flags of the Sixty-Four Counties movement – gathered to express sympathy with Gyorgy Budahazy, who is in custody on suspicion of preparations for terrorist activities, as well as those others against whom legal proceedings were initiated following a similar demonstration a week ago.
