BIG YIKES.
Lawsuits over the Mulugeta Seraw case bankrupted Tom Metzger - former KKK Grand Dragon of California and founder of White Aryan Resistance.
The WARskins were among the worst of the skinhead neo-Nazis on the west coast in the 80s/90s (lot of Hammerskin overlaps).

Thankfully, Tom Metzger died in 2020. Great day at our house. He was one of the worst human beings imaginable.
Lest you think skinheads aren’t still a thing, to cite just one example: the perpetrator of the Oak Creek massacre at a Sikh temple was a Hammerskin (and a veteran).

Tom Metzger also - see the infiltration thread lower down on the timeline - was one of the white supremacist leaders who advocated infiltration as strategy.
He ordered boys to avoid tattoos, join law enforcement, the military, law, etc.
Many did. This is an old thing, y’all.

Tom Metzger and David Duke were also close (for a time).
Both ran for public office at different points, and both eventually embraced strategies of establishment infiltration for their followers.
If you’re wondering where we got Richard Spencer et al, that’s one reason.

Last thing on Metzger for now (I’m tired)
To preempt the mansplainers that are worse than usual recently, FYI in advance:
I’m literally sitting next to an ex-warskin that was in the room with Metzger during those infiltration planning sessions. Don’t waste your time or mine.

There’s a reason I keep harping on white supremacists’ infiltration strategy - you can trace the direct line from Metzger, WAR, Duke and the KKK to Richard Spencer and Stephen Miller.
