Mr. Twitter egg, that’d be 10 years of ‘fringe articles’ on white supremacists — as well as ISIS, and other ‘imaginary’ political violence — for the United Nations, global think tanks, and the top academic journals.
While we wait for the Sines vs. Kessler jury to return a verdict over Charlottesville, warning: don’t get complacent if it’s guilty.
Remember, Metzger lost his 1990 case — he wasn’t stopped; he just got more careful & deeper underground.
[Nazi Telegram noted the same thing.]
I feel bad for the jury, but I hope that verdict doesn’t come today.
In conjunction with the Rittenhouse verdict, regardless of which way Sines vs. Kessler goes —
— that’s potentially very bad timing.
In fact, Metzger saw his 1990 court loss as a victory (and not just as a spinned one, either).
THAT is when he went full force pushing the “lone wolf” approach — and became far more cautious about white supremacist organizational and security strategy.
