Anyone with extensive knowledge of the neo-Nazi/white supremacist movement will know that Barrett was NEVER taken seriously by them, as this and other sites have stated. His blatant narcissism and inflated sense of importance within the movement made him a target of ridicule, but it was also pretty well-known in those circles that he was gay, and he may also have propositioned skinheads he recruited- thus furthering the already low standing he had among the racist far right. Just read some of their websites and you’ll see that.

It is said that thse that hate homosexuals the most are often hating something that lives just under the skin about themselves – that they are gay themselves and are in denile. I am sure of my heterosexuality, and anti-nazi stance, but only because I have searched from within about both. Granted they are unrelated, but are both discussed here. I don’t believe that everyone is in perfect due course with heterosexual life – those that are straight that is. This is due to the effects of societal pressure and the inluence that people have over others. Another neo-nazi died. That is news that we might feel good about, but a shame the way some people die. I don’t have any sympathy for them, it just seems that they might have been rehabilitated. I did not know how many neo-nazis are actualy frauds and perpetrators. I fear for their lives in some way, but after evil they have done… they deserve no sympathy from me. There are no words to describe what a person goes through when they try to leave fachism behind and live a normal life. “It’s a long way back from Hell.”, says the song.

Oh I see. It’s somehow understandable about this black man murdering a white supremacist now that we know that the victim allegedly made a homosexual pass.

I of course could be wrong, but I strongly suspect that had the situation been reversed – that a white man had killed a black activist because of an alleged homosexual proposition – you would be all over the case like a cheap suit.

And you talk about hypocrisy.

Neither of these characters sounds like anyone I’d want to spend 2 minutes with. The killer is using the classic “gay panic” defense: “some guy propositioned me, so I just HAD to beat him over the head with a radio, stab him a dozen or more times, and then set him on fire.” Nice. It could be a total lie. Even if it’s true, it’s disgusting. Both guys sound disgusting.

What would be the best place to search in order to find a list and history of all movement leaders and famous members who were gay/Jewish/had non-white relatives, etc,?

It looks as though McGee will likely receive the death penalty anyway (at least, according to the news sources I’ve seen and the severity of the charges against him), so I don’t think that whether or not he ends up getting charged with a hate crime will be relevant at all.

It seems as though the prosecutor could seek hate crime charges if they could prove that Barrett was killed in response to allegedly propositioning the suspect.

After observing how, after a number of years and news stories, abt how vicious anti-gay bashers are, that Shakespeare’s observation that “thou protesteth to much” was right on the money, 400 years ago. These ppl. hate who they are so they go overboard in trashing themselves, really.

Wouldn’t that black guy be guilty of a hate crime if he did in fact kill Barrett become of a homosexual proposition?

I won’t be holding my breath that your organization or the US Dept of Justice will be asking that these charges be forthcoming in this case.
