This guy fits RAMPAGE, the right-wing terrorist group from my book, to a tee.
From Huffington Post
OAK CREEK, Wis. Wade Michael Page played in white supremacist heavy metal bands and posted frequent comments on Internet forums for skinheads, repeatedly exhorting members to act more decisively to support their cause.
"If you are wanting to meet people, get involved and become active," he wrote last year. "Stop hiding behind the computer or making excuses."
A day after Page strode into a Sikh temple with a 9mm handgun and multiple magazines of ammunition, authorities were trying to determine if the 40-year-old Army veteran was taking his own advice when he opened fire on total strangers in a house of worship.
Detectives cautioned they might never know for sure. But the picture of Page that began to develop Monday found in dark corners of the Internet, in records from a dodgy Army career and throughout a life lived on the margins suggested he was a white supremacist who wanted to see his beliefs advanced with action.
Page, who was shot to death by police, described himself as a member of the "Hammerskins Nation," a skinhead group rooted in Texas that has branches in Australia and Canada, according to the SITE Monitoring Service, a Maryland-based private intelligence firm that searches the Internet for extremist activity.

(50,773 posts)this useless, ignorant pig took the lives of people like Satwant Singh Kaleka and Brian Murphy. It is revolting that this put-upon piece of in-bred trash thought that he had the right to put an end to the enormous contributions to the community of people like Kaleka and Murphy.

(37,364 posts)had put up notices on their website saying they did not condone the act and that he was "crazy." My eyebrows went up. Either they are going way underground or they are waiting a backlash. Now why would neoNazi groups disavow someone who massacred people with dark skin, something they all long to do.

(37,364 posts)Why are these groups operating with such impunity now? We need to push back. We did it before during the 80s. We can do it again.
AND we need to start whacking away at the NRA--gun runner mafiosos.
