Hatewatch Tweets
Hatewatch is managed by the staff of the Intelligence Report, an investigative magazine published by the Alabama-based civil rights group Southern Poverty Law Center.
American Front Founder David Lynch Shot to Death
Early this morning, a man was killed and a woman injured in a shooting in Citrus Heights, Calif., a suburb of Sacramento. Law enforcement authorities said the man, who was shot in the head and torso, was found dead inside the home. The woman, who was shot in the leg, was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Local media reports said that two children were believed by law enforcement to have been inside the home at the time of the shooting.
Law enforcement sources have confirmed to Hatewatch that the man who was shot was David Lynch, 40, and his death is being treated as a homicide.
Lynch was a clever and charismatic racist skinhead organizer whose history of racist activism dates back to the late 1980s, when he became the eastern states coordinator for American Front, a nationwide skinhead coalition modeled after Britain’s racist National Front. After American Front’s power waned in the mid-1990s, Lynch lived for a time in Canada, then relocated to Sacramento, where he gradually assumed control of the Sacto Skins, one of the oldest skinhead gangs in the country.
While he maintained a strong presence in the Sacramento white supremacist subculture from the late 1990s through 2005, at one point meeting with then-National Alliance chairman William Pierce when the neo-Nazi leader visited Sacramento, Lynch for the most part limited his activities to that city alone.
Later, Lynch’s empire expanded. In 2007, law enforcement officials told the SPLC that Lynch had united skinhead crews in northern and southern California, Utah and Florida under the banner of a newly energized American Front. He had also established a United States division of Troops of Tomorrow, an international skinhead organization, and helped to launch Prison Skin, a prison outreach campaign to support and glorify incarcerated skinheads.
Skinheads and neo-Nazis from around the country are posting memorials to Lynch on Facebook. Expressing what seems to be the common sentiment, Billy Roper of White Revolution wrote: “Dave Lynch: My Friend, and one of the best men I’ve ever known, a hero of our people and our cause. We are in shock.”
No further details were immediately released about the shootings.

Good riddance

While I share the sentiment of Mr d00d to an extant, one must remember he was someone’s son. A total slimeball, unworthy of even the meanest esteem to be sure, but someone’s son nonetheless.
My thought go out to any his survivors who do not share his views. Those who are of a similar mind to his can run head-first into an old-growth oak tree for all I care.
Cheers,
Aron

Just makes you wonder why she was only shot in the leg, yet they took the time to execute him?
on March 2nd, 2011 at 4:06 pm
just curious how this hatewatch site is the only people to actually know the name of the man killed? it hasnt even been said on the news yet..but its blasted all over the place with the link to this page???????? hows is that…and i just love how everyone has something to say about people they dont even know….this hatewatch is just as bad!!!!! ive have seen more hate on this page than anywhere else!!!! the man was a living being regardless of his choices in life, no one has the right to end his life..
on March 2nd, 2011 at 6:07 pm
Don’t you people care he has family? You beat the news to the name because you snoop amongst his friends, where you do not belong. But this man had children…show some respect for them. At least ACT like you have compassion.
on March 2nd, 2011 at 7:57 pm
I agree with the person above. Noone deserved to take his life and if you didn’t know him you can’t say anything. I did know him and while I don’t agree with his views he had a very kind side. If its true and David is gone my sympathy goes out to his family.
on March 2nd, 2011 at 9:31 pm
The sad thing is, I know his daughter.
Even though I never met him it is a sad thing and will be missed dearly.

on March 2nd, 2011 at 9:49 pm
he was killed because he spoke for what he believed in even if you people dont believe what he spoke or believed in.he was a working man a father a son a brother a leader and a man.how can you say you believe he was a hater when all i hear on here is hate.LONG LIVE DAVID LYNCH!NOT FOR WHAT HE WAS BUT THE HUMAN HE LIVED AS.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 12:16 am
To Aaron.
The answer to your question lies partly with the Citrus Heights PD. Complainants had filed several complaints with that PD, retained a Ctirus Heights atty to set up a meeting with the Chief of Police to ask why the responding officers refused to take the matter seriously. The atty shied off, and staff made remarks regarding the nature of the CHPD, regarding their attitude to minorities, that it was better not to press the issue that far. In addition, it is no coincidence Lynch found refuge and protection in this neck of the CA woods. So, the complainants have a hate crime case but the CHPD refuse to proceed.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 12:16 am
Looks like it was a close friend that took his life. “Boots” from Stormtroop 16, an American Front band.
Don’t skinheads PRIDE themselves on NOT being like gangs?

LLD, it has come! Hate doesn’t pay.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 12:21 am
So you see Aaron, what goes around comes around. By letting all sorts of hate go around in the first place, sooner or later, we see this pay-as-you go karmic backlash. In the end, the PD – by taking a laissez faire attitude to hate crimes in their town, has created an intolerable situation. Who knows, perhaps one of his own did him in. Hate always turns on itself.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 12:23 am
“the man was a living being regardless of his choices in life, no one has the right to end his life” – his choices were to spread hatred and foment and applaud killings of minorities etc. etc. I believe we can count on the Westboro Baptist Church to cry over him.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 2:07 am
He also had daughters, keep that in mind.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 3:09 am
Ok Aron, so to all of his loved ones grieving, screw the ones who share his beliefs? Sure makes you sound like an awesome person. Out of curiosity, did you know him personally?? Because his children just lost their father, his wife lost her husband, friends and family lost their brother and son. Who do you think you are to judge a man who you personally, in your opinion, feel has distasteful views? No one deserves to die just because they have beliefs and principles that clash with your own.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 3:16 am
You are obviously a few of the ignorant people, who somehow think that everyone is equal. Everywhere you look, no one is equal, and they never will be. Not only is it a matter of race, but also a matter of lower, middle, or upper class. You are so narrow minded that all you see is a hater, I see a friend, and morally good, intelligent, human. He was a caring father, and a great friend.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 7:47 am
Could it be that someone mistook him for David Lynch, the filmmaker? Perhaps it was an angry nerd who felt Lynch had totally butchered Dune, thus destroying any chance of a modern, big-budget remake.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 11:03 am
Jesus people, has illiteracy in America shot up in the last few years? The article simply reports that the guy was killed(by one of his own, big surprise there), and who he was. Where does it ever suggest he deserved to die.
And special for you Jon Skin: Where did you ever get the idea that “equality” means believing everyone is the same? Equality has never meant that in politics. The concept of equality grows out of the liberal ideas near the end of feudalism, a system where the predominate belief said that some men were simply endowed with a higher standing than others simply by the grace of God. The concept of equality was that there should be a nation state wherein all are citizens, equal before the law. Of course along with this came capitalism, thus such equality doesn’t exist, but that’s another story altogether.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 11:55 am
Well seeing that this horrible thing happened i think that we should all go to friendlys and get some icecream.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 12:01 pm
To MK,
I never once said he deserved to die. And I never expressed anything but compassion for those of his loved ones who did not share his views.
And yes, I have judged a man I have never met. His actions are widely known, and any personal kindness he may have possessed is irrelevant. (I could make a comment that even Herr Hitler had shown some kindness in his life, but that would be cliché.)
I have nothing but contempt for white-supremacists, or those of any shade.
I would ask that before words are put in my mouth, please read what I have written more carefully.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 12:12 pm
Hate begets hate, it is a vicious cycle. Too much energy is wasted on things like this.

Now who is the Tea Party going to run against Obama?
on March 3rd, 2011 at 1:07 pm
This article, the author of the article, the people applauding David Lynch’s death, and the people mourning him have a misunderstanding as to what a Skinhead truly is. I do not condone violence against anyone but I can only hope that out of this man’s passing, his organization will collapse from disorder. David Lynch’s work, his organization and those who support or oppose him have used the term Skinhead and have dragged it through the mud and have demonized it. The people the author in this article are not Skinheads. They are neo-Nazis, White Supremacists or Far Right Extremists, but they are not Skinheads. The Skinhead movement began in the 60s as a fashion trend. It has it’s roots in early Jamaican Reggae, Ska, Rock Steady and Soul music, all of which come African descent. Skinheads adhered and still adhere to the fashion style developed in the 60s and were made up of primarily working class people in England. Brits of both white and African descent made up the Skinhead subculture in England and eventually in the States. True Skinheads do not identify with political ideologies and should not be defined by them. It’s time that those on the far right and in mainstream media stop demonizing and admonishing the work Skinhead. David Lynch was not a Skinhead and neither are the people involved in his organization or those who follow him.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 1:09 pm
I recently saw a picture of Mr. Lynch wearing a t-shirt with SS emblazoned across it. I don’t condone vigilante action of any kind, nor internecine violence within hate groups, but I can’t help but note the irony. My sympathies to his children for their immediate pain, but more for the misfortune of having been subjected to the grotesque family environment that Mr. Lynch created for them. I am sure his bigotry scarred them for life — and it evidently exposed them to a great deal of danger and trauma as well. Maybe his premature death is a loss, but I am not PC enough to see it, any more than I am PC enough to weep for Hitler’s untimely demise at his own hands. Good riddance to bad rubbish!
on March 3rd, 2011 at 1:10 pm
For you all to know…
Dave was about hope, true dreams and bettering self.
I will always be grateful for Dave’s friendship and support in me fining my way from a hopeless life. Dave wasn’t just about his movement or beliefs, he was about seeing people grow and learn to better themselves. Dave thank you for helping me grow up into being a loving and caring Father and honest husband to my beautiful wife. To all who knew Dave I’m truly sorry for your loss,I will prey for us all to ether not hate or or learn to love as Dave Did. Dave I love you and I will miss you.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 1:48 pm
He was killed by his own. A tragedy? For his family and friends, yes. Unexpected? No. Violence breeds violence. Hardly an earth-shaking statement but factual.
To those of you who have condemned Malcolm X and have publicly preached this his assassination by a another faction of the NOI was but an inevitability—-now you’ve got your own martyr. How does it feel?
on March 3rd, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Poor dead Skinhead. While it is always unfortunate to see someone killed, the death of neo-nazi ideology is what we really want to see. It is unfortunate that a man has to die with such a heinous belief system wrapped around his mind like some kind of a dark shadow.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 2:41 pm
To Josh…I really dont care how you found out his name…I just cant believe the hateful remarks that were on this blog…a man lost his life and for people to cheer about that is the most hateful thing I have seen…I knew Dave, I do not know his feelings on race, because he never discussed them with me, nor do I share them…I just know that he was a very kind and loving person…he was someones father, husband and son..I never witnessed him being disrespectful to anyone ever!!! and it saddens me to hear people say good riddance to someone that they didnt even know only read about on this blog!!!!
on March 3rd, 2011 at 2:47 pm
Could this be connected to that Teamster that was fighting at that tea party rally? The guy the police arrested for this murder is the brother of that Skin Head Teamster arrested in Sacramento I have been told?

Not always, Mr. Lynch. Not always.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 4:15 pm
Can’t say that I’m too upset over this. To the extent that his death saddens me, it’s because HE CHOSE to throw away his life, using it for repugnant ends.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 4:18 pm
i believe the correct term for a racist skin is “bonehead” as there are anti-racist skinheads out there.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 5:04 pm
Dave was out of the movement for a long time. I think that people should focus on the fact someone lost a father and someone lost their son. Leave the rest alone.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 5:08 pm
I am going to be brutally honest. I’m glad the bastard is dead. As the ex wife (briefly) of a violent, abusive nazi (not Lynch), I have a very strong hatred of skinhead males. I lived under a very evil person. Those people tried to rape my soul and mind. I consider David Lynch & his ilk to be no different than Satan. I feel no sorrow over his death. He was a violent bastard – I personally witnessed his violence – and the world is better off now. His family is better off.
It wouldn’t shock me in the slightest if it was one of his own that killed him. I met David Lynch once and found him to be disgusting, as are most skinheads/racists. Lynch’s wife is a foul woman. These people thrive on violence and anger and are among the laziest on the planet. They are also very deceptive and can be charming, pretending to be normal but really they are not. My ancestry is part Jewish (my great grandparents, so I’m ok in their eyes per the racial purity laws) & I am blond with blue eyes. So, I’m prime breeding stock for them. My ex pretended that he was a reformed skinhead, got a good job, and interacted well with my family UNTIL I married him. Then, he decided to live off the ‘Jewish girl’ & he loved torturing me – physically, sexually, & emotionally. He quit his job and announced that he was working for the Reich now – ON MY DIME! He talked about killing Jews while glaring at me, called me Pollack K-ke, threatened with knives, hitting, and abandonment when I wasn’t the good nazi wife, etc. So, I had the police take him away & got the best divorce lawyer in my county. I’m still working on getting my mind free from having to walk on eggshells & feeling isolated from the rest of the world.
You should feel bad for ALL of the children of skinheads, not only those whose parents die. After the parent dies, the kid is free. There is a lot of domestic violence in these families, much worse than what I experienced. Lots of pedophiles. Lots of rape. Alcohol and drugs. I thank God for my family & attorney who helped me get away from my ex. The kids see so much violence and know nothing of unconditional love. The boys have preferred status and the girls are expected to procreate, even at ages like 16 since it is thought of as carrying on the white race. That’s their role. A lot of the women are too scared to leave or don’t have the resources to do so. My ex took my kindness & trust of his word for weakness. These people are really messed up.

Trojan Skin,
Props for posting. There have always been both white and black skinheads because the original skinheads listened to working-class black music like skinhead reggae and Northern soul.
In California, you can go to any Oi gig or soul/reggae all-nighter and you will see black, white, Latino, Asian and Middle Eastern skinheads. Check out these videos:

WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER U FOR U AND U WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED DAVE LYNCH U WAS A GREAT MAN!!!! RIP DAVE LYNCH
on March 3rd, 2011 at 7:52 pm
I must say, I agree that some of the comments here do indeed sound downright hateful–ironic, considering the admirable and important mission of SPLC. To some extent, I can understand breathing a sigh of relief at the death of a man who appears to have been the source of much suffering and hate, but I can’t see openly rejoicing over it. Before we throw up a victory cheer, let’s imagine if that anonymous teenager in the house was his daughter. Imagine how she might feel seeing her father shot dead.
Hateful and ignorant, perhaps, but he was a human being whose death brings grief to those who loved him.
On the other side of the argument, let’s not pretend that being a loving father automatically makes you a decent human being. Hitler himself was famously good with children (as long as they were the right *kind* of children), but that doesn’t make him a good guy.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 11:09 pm
I am sorry that his loved ones suffered loss, but I do not weep for a man who would have killed my entire family given the chance.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 11:23 pm
I find it particularly interesting that when a white racist dies there are calls to think of his humanity. Yet, when brown folks are shot by cops here or bombed in their homes overseas, that’s considered justifiable. I agree that we should respect humanity, but I think it should be for all people.
on March 3rd, 2011 at 11:39 pm
Sure, have compassion for the death of a human being and feel for the children’s loss. This says more about you than him. But this guy spread hatred and demonized other human beings and passed this on to his children to engage them in a useless life in which some are professed to be less than others in the eyes of the law according to them. Bigotry and the notion of white supremacy is a form of tribalism. Humans don’t live in tribes anymore except in self professed groups who separate themselves unrealistically into tribes as being other than just members of the human race. They keep themselves separate for illogical reasons. Humans will always have cliques, I guess, in which some belong while others do not. A definite sign of a colossal ignorance and immaturity.
on March 4th, 2011 at 12:45 am
If this person was the upstanding, moralistic human described by one of the writers above, why would someone execute him.? Another woman present? Not his wife?Not killed also? Set him up, maybe? Shot in the leg? Who was she? Did she call the PD? Was he divorced? Shot in the head? This suggests execution by someone he knew.Power struggle? Let’s see who emerges as the leader of this august group of humanitarians :-(
whose sense of superiority drives them to violence against those who are seen as inferior. Glad I left California, it seems to be a center for the skins.
on March 4th, 2011 at 12:49 am
LOL. I actually felt bad for the guy and his family, even though i think white preemies suck (but they’re harmless and impotent in the whole scheme of things) No where in the article does it say he deserved to die. Then there was one very negative comment at the beginning and then another comment that was no fan of this Lynch guy but made it clear they thought the negative comment was too harsh. And then all the white pride “dandies” seemed to leech out of everywhere screaming “OH GOD HOW DARE ALL YOU PEOPLE DISRESPECT THIS GUY AND SAY HE DESERVES TO DIE. OH GOD! OH GOD! OH GOD! Y’ALL HAVE NO COMPASSION YOU ALL ARE SO EVIL ON HERE! OH GOD! snort. You all either can’t read, or refused to read it or have an over imagination as to what you read. But, It was entertaining as all get out. so thank you.
on March 4th, 2011 at 11:00 am
I’m always happy to see Nazi scum leave us one way or another. But I’d have been much happier had this piece of human excrement simply rejoined humanity by renouncing his monstrous ways and dedicated his life to reversing all the damage that he’d done. That would have been very good for his kids and anyone who cared for him- especially all the poor weak-minded folks who had been misled by this reputably charismatic monster.
But the man died as the man lived, so good riddance to bad rubbish. At least now he won’t get to do any more damage.
And considering that Nazis tend to be psychopaths with a propensity for backbiting- literally ‘getting the long knives out’ on each other, if you catch my drift- we’re pretty likely to see a Nazi or two incarcerated over this. So here’s to two birds with one stone!
on March 4th, 2011 at 12:27 pm
So this vile racist vermin died and the world does not care one bit. It is amazing how people who knew him claim he was such a loving and wonderful man, yet he filled his whole life with hate and anger. Oh yeah lets not forget the amazing Billy Roper. A life full of this nonsense is nothing more than a venom that destroys people. The SPLC state that there are over 1,000 hate groups in this country yet not one of them has ever achieved anything or made a difference in the world. We keep hearing about how there will be an Aryan rising. Yeah I think I will not mark that on the calendar. They have been saying that for years upon years and we are still waiting. Lets hope the NSM wipe themselves out. Jeff Schoep says their NSM nationals will be historic. I am sure it will be Jeffrey. I am sure America will be glued to CNN to watch the 20 NSM idiots lined up. No, most people will not even notice or care that Jeffrey and his bingo buddies are in New Jersey.
on March 4th, 2011 at 12:47 pm
The man was a Father and a Friend. Personal Beliefs set aside, He was an american and didnt deserve to die.
on March 4th, 2011 at 5:49 pm
As an American Orthodox Jew, former military, and a Ground Zero vet all I can say is there is a very small part of me that finds this regrettable. David Lynch never had the opportunity to make my acquaintance and perhaps he would have felt differently about Jew’s if he had , perhaps not. The fact that a child is now fatherless doesn’t bring me any great joy despite my initial visceral knee jerk reaction of good riddance. It is considerable that the world is a better place without David Lynch or his ilk, but it is also a better place without disregard of the Law of this Great land or the Mosaic law of the Constitution that forbids murder.
on March 4th, 2011 at 9:32 pm
Its sad that his Kids are without a father,RIP David Lynch
and as for the idiotic skins posting on here about how true skins arent nazis etc,etc,spare us the PC propaganda,there were no black skins in the 60s,it was a White working class movemnet that spun off from the Mods,sure they listened to Reggae and Ska,so what?they also were right wing,patriotic and notorious for beating up Hippies,Gays and immigrants hence the term ‘paki bashing’ a lot of them openly supported Enoch Powell.what those skins in the 60s DID not do is campaign against racism or attack other skins who had racist/nationalistic attitudes,face it the original skins in the 60s were closer to the nazi skins then to sharps
on March 5th, 2011 at 6:27 am
Like it or not, Lynch has become a martyr. Of course you will try to vilify him, though in reality, he was salt of the earth material. The truth of that means that his reputation will only increase in death. Go ahead and repeat all the old tropes and screeds such as :the world is a better place without ‘hate ‘ or ‘oh it is sad but he had it coming’ or other such constant regurgitation, but this kind of thing only serves as a PC emetic. Syrup of PC epicac.
The loss of our friend has made many of us vow to become stronger and tighter-knit.
Instead of only roiling in our grief, we have learned things from this situation, and like a corporation, plan to use the things we have learned to deal with problems we have as a movement- to grow and adapt. No, we don’t have the things you have: tons of money from made-up government make-work/busy-work PC do-nothing-in-reality endless programs, funding and free air time- but we have other things you don’t have- and we plan to ‘leverage our assets’- a phrase oft-used in the grant-sucking crowd. If you think the way times are right now, that more people will be coming to your side…you got another thing coming.
on March 5th, 2011 at 7:26 am
Hahahahaha. Good ol’ Charlie.
Good riddance. This man was a stalker, a spousal abuser, and a rapist. Just ask Heather McClure, his first wife whom he terrorized for years.
on March 5th, 2011 at 12:45 pm
While I am not a member of Mr. Lynch’s fan club, I caution those who say “good riddance” or some other and equally dismissive comment, I remind us all that all human life is precious. That Mr. Lynch decided to use his intellect for hate was his decision, and one I could not support with my life. Perhaps we need to see this as an opportunity to forward the cause of acceptance of all people of all races, religions and sexual preferences. It is time I believe to move forward the agenda that racism, hate, antisemitism, et al. are not part of conservative politics but part of what it means to be hateful.
on March 5th, 2011 at 5:56 pm
I understand that some cooler heads (people who AREN’T defending Lynch) seem to feel for his children that don’t have a father anymore.
But for the ones who are defending him and using the “he had children” line…allow me to call bullshit on your sudden sympathies; if a member of the NBPP died, and he had kids, you wouldn’t care even a little bit.
on March 5th, 2011 at 11:00 pm
NotMindControlledByYou,
You have always been outnumbered and you have always lost. “Your side” is hate, “your side” lost the American Civil War, “your side” lost WWII, you are far more outnumbered today than in the past. In the future, you will face even more overwhelming odds. There are almost 310,000,000 people in our nation, most of them are not on “your side”.
on March 5th, 2011 at 11:35 pm
Known Dave for 20 years,and he was the reason I DIDN’T become a full fledge hammer skin.He never pushed anyone to join the movement,he tried to discourage kids from it,I’m living proof.Dave was a good man,a good friend,and regardless of his beliefs I loved him like a brother.you assholes bad mouthing him need to back off,you only know what you have heard and read.Dave encouraged me to get an education,to stay outta trouble and pursue something more than being a skinhead…..and now I sit here at 34 years old and reflect on where I could have ended up.
Dave loved his friends and family and stood up for his beliefs,and whether you agree or not with his beliefs is your decision.I am proud to have known him,and I will miss him
RIP Brother
on March 6th, 2011 at 3:43 pm
What a legacy. The best thing he’ll be remembered for doing in life is leaving it.
on March 6th, 2011 at 7:35 pm
Simply put, without SPLC and its dedication to the reality of the reich wing agenda and the move this nation has made toward a theo/fascist society since June 6, 1968, it would be all but over now. The industrialists and corporate/financiers (Ford, Rockefeller, Hearst, Mellon, DuPont, Prescott Bush (yes, that same Bush family), all were and still are pro-fascist. But before anyone gets too excited, so were FDR and Allen Dulles. FDR patterned his public works programs directly from those done by Mussolini, and only implemented just enough stimulus to stem off the more radical elements of the union movements and concepts of social and economic equality that really needed to be implemented. Theodore R. was actually more progressive in these areas and Eleanor had major falling outs with FDR on his foot dragging and limited ideas about social and real justice. He opposed integration and he and Truman had several battles over that issue. He also opposed the concept of the GI Bill when Truman proposed it prior to FDR’s death.
on March 7th, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Finally…Karma at work. I guess we must all remember that the people he has harmed and tortured were someone’s sons and daughters too.
on March 8th, 2011 at 11:25 am
Hate will always breed hatred, this is why whats called “racism” will never end. Having once been in a “ne0-nazi” prison gang i know this all too well. I once corresponded with Richard Barrett of the Nationalist Movement, up until about two weeks before his vicious murder. Much like Lynch he will now be hailed as a martyr to the “cause”. What cause this is, i am not certain. I joined a little known white nationalist group in the spring of 2006 from a maximum security prison in Wisconsin. Being the “minority” for the first time in my life was an odd experience. Under those conditions it is real easy to get sucked into the “oh my god our race is dying” mindset, which is the whole premise of many of these WP/WN groups. Of course, when you live in a major metropolitan area or behind a prison wall and are white, the statistics of racial residency are not going to be in your favor. It is real easy for someone to talk you into feeling like you are being suppressed in so many ways. Books by historical figures you may read tend to make sense with your surroundings and you learn to believe all that you see and read. Granted there IS “racism” on both sides, and an awful lot of racism directed at whites within prison, that doesn’t make it right to fall victim to another mans hate and embrace it yourself. I am proud to say that I am no longer a white nationalist. I am an American citizen, resident of the state of wisconsin and just a typical working class individual concentrated on the only creedo that matters: Family. They will scream it from the mountaintops “We must secure the existence of our race and a future for our children” Really? If that was all you were concerned about, then why not focus on your family to do so? Because in all reality at the end of the day all you have control over is you. Would you teach your children that people of non-european ethnicity are evil or somehow wrong? I would hope not, seeing as you would be robbing your child of knowledge and youth by doing so. I like how the nationalist/supremacist groups always claim they are not racist. I found myself being attacked verbally and morally for having a female friend who was both white and hispanic. Apparently being a friend to someone who is not pure white is a crime. So while they will all preach that they are not racist groups, test them and they will prove otherwise. Most so called SUPREMACISTS are as fake as they come anyways. They claim not to use drugs, they claim to be clean cut, upstanding, working class people. Get involved in a WN/WP circle and you will find out otherwise. Heroin shooting, meth dealing, sex addicts, even the grand daddy of all…”inter-racial breeding” exists and is widespread amongst the WN/WP movement. How can a man bear a swastika and marry what he calls a “beaner”? Thats the nature of the WNWP world today. It is falling apart, filled with misfits and sendoffs, and i couldn’t be happier that it is falling real quick, especially here in my homestate.
For the record, one of the 8 hate groups in the state of Wisconsin that SPLC has listed on their hate map is one i founded MYSELF. White Ethnic Preservation Coalition. This was founded as a cover group for the Wisconsin based Ironwood Brotherhood, an offshoot of the AN. I am proud to say that i no longer carry their beliefs or values.
Your family…..the only “clan” you should be allegiant to.
God Bless.

The wages of sin is death…and God hates hate?

Josh and other small people sporting narrow horizons like “Westboro will mourn him” need to tuck tail and go home. Quietly.
If you didn’t know the man, or his broad yet close-knit, rather inclusive if principaled circle of friends, consider quiet observation.
The problems here are complex.
The solutions are their own multifaceted puzzles.
Read a book, or maybe just a wikipedia entry. Start with Westboro, and smirk at the measure of irony in that comparison.
I pity the Citrus Heights PD for relying on a remote body to offer local history, and for their linking that with contemporary context.
And I don’t have a clue as to what happened. Don’t recall seeing the man, much, outside the feral fellowship of our formative years. But I mourn him.

We are a nation of many beliefs and many skin tones. We all love, hate, cry, feel shame, privilege, joy, hunger, fear and we all share a sense of pride in being an American. It is a shame that Mr Lynch had views that placed his race above all others when we are all Americans however, as a minority I find myself feeling only sorrow for those who loved and lost him. For all of those who praise his death, remember what what Dr. Martin Luther King preached. We are not justified to show hatred in response to hatred and celebrating the death of a fellow American, no matter how adverse his beliefs, is against everything that Dr. King taught. My condolences to his friends and family no matter what your views may be. May God bless and keep you.

Jessica,
I can’t really understand what you said, as you misuse several words. But I don’t consider his group of friends principled. They are clearly ignorant, deluded and dangerous.
Society is indeed complex and multi-faceted, but hate groups like the Sacto skins are part of the problem and in NO way part of any solution. I don’t celebrate murder but society is no doubt better off without this professional hater.

I’m glad all the haters come to this site for a breath of fresh air, but I don’t think they’re able to appreciate it. And all the outrage they express to those of us who would criticize this man’s terrible legacy, I only have this to say – this guy made a career out of saying terrible, scurrilous lies about people based on their race and fomented violence against them. That’s the legacy he made for himself and so I believe the world is better for his having left it.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I think it is funny how the header of this webpage states Hate Watch, yet in these comments I have seen nothing but a bunch of people talking shit about a dead man they hate as well. Practice what you preach. Oh and btw the SPLC and the ADL have a lot of information wrong about AF. It even says on there banners they were founded in 1984 yet SPLC and ADL cant even get that right. They constantly lie about the activities that go on in the American Front, and have nothing but negatives to say. How is the SPLC and the ADL run by? And why would they have a reason to turn people away from groups such as AF who no longer allow there members to use anything that hateful towards other races, religions, etc. Because they agree with the government enslavement of the American people because it aids in there own zionist views. Maybe you should look into what these people are saying. Dont believe everything that you read and see on t.v. Try being open minded and finding the information on your own. And most people who read this will probably say I am a piece of shit and have all sorts of choice words to describe me, but have I said even one thing bad mouthing another person? No, I have not. There are a lot of people with some big mouths over the internet who try to promote peace when they have nothing but hateful things to say. Shit Id rather be a Nazi then sit here and read all the disgusting shit that you all have to say. Rest in Peace Dave. Eva we love you! and to his daughter who I will not name, Your dad is still with you. He helped us all in life and he is still with us all in death. The valkyries flew and took him away but they did not take him far. LLD!

Dawn, you are one true idiot.

All i have to say is; shame!
I’m sorry for the love one’s he left behind. As for his belives, i totally don’t agree that hating any one is right. Hating another human being is just the same as hating yourself! We all bleed red and are all God’s children regardless of color, race, sex, and orientation! That portion of freedon of expression might not be illegal in the world today but it sure is in the eyes of God! Spread love not hate!!!!!

I don’t care if anyone thinks this is cruel to say. Though his family may grieve. We also must realize all the other families that this Lynch has caused fear, intimidation & hate crimes against. He was a Monster. I believe all Hate groups are dangerous. They are Terrorist’s in our own Nation. I am white and I am against them.
on May 9th, 2012 at 11:39 am
What a man soweth, may he also reap……if you live being evil, you will die at the hands of evil…..I hope his children will live a different kind of life….
on May 9th, 2012 at 12:03 pm
One man who speaks his mind to defend his race is a monster. So what was malcom X. All other races are catered but the white man but that is fair.

Sounds like the hate groups are imploding and vanishing. Finally! Now the left needs to understand the difference between “hate” and “disagreement” because the radical left has been labeling any conservative group that disagrees with them as “hate groups” and that is uncalled for, period. Even the SPLC has been hijacked by leftist loons who have placed almost every conservative group on the hate list, along with Neo-Nazis and other pukes. Hello?? Are they now guilty of the very crime of hate themselves with that action?? The “New Black Panthers” and “La Raza” need to be listed as Hate groups and they need to be prosecuted with the same fervor as skinhead/neo-nazi groups. How many leftisat hate groups have been plotting acts of terror against Americans? We simply don’t know because the Left has a HUGE blind spot!!!! I noticed that two hate group leaders have been assasinated. People need to STOP taking the law into their own hands and they need to let the police take care of Hate groups. I have a quibble with the title of this blog: “Far Right”…….truthfully hate groups are secular humanist and that places them on the LEFT. So say “Far Left” please. “Right” is reserved for polite Christian conservatives who make this great nation a great nation. So don’t group us in with the haters.

He did not hate anyone. He wanted all of us whites to not be forced to be around ppl we dont want to be. He wanted our race to be safe and survive.
Thats hate right?
on November 25th, 2012 at 11:43 am
Whats worse a clueless skinhead with politically incorrect views that are sillybut not hurting us personallh or the Citrus Hsights police and the Da allowing purjuryand false evidence to clean up tbeir error in this case? Myself I know I rather ignore the skinhead and address tbe immorral and dishonest acts of the people who are supposed to act modally. Black white brown purple nazi anti nazi law enforcement should be honest and moral. Chpd is hurting our society far worse than Dave lynch ever could! Demar i not guilty yet they making sure he get life sentence. Preliminary transcripts prove it but no authorities will listen.

I think the loss of my brother was one of the hardest times ive been through all you who choose to judge are just as hatefull as you propose we are yet lets let the almighty himself judge and i cant wait to be there when its your time when he calls upon his people the white aryan race to serve justice upon you in YAHWEH YESHUA HOLY NAME I PRAY that we are there to see you cast to HELL AND IM GLAD TO HAVE THE LAST WORD FOR MY BROTHER HE WOULD SAY VICTORY HAIL VICTORY WE WILL WIN WE LOVE YOU DAVID

I am not a skinhead and I am not anti anything I believe to each their own. I have however witnessed first hand the way this case is being handled and no matter your beliefs your color or your background what the Citrus Heights police are doing to Charlie is the most shameless thing I have ever seen happen and when we americans allow officers to openly commit perjury as these officers are doing we are all going to pay not just Charlie. We should worry more about this than any race or immigration issue we have because it is unacceptable and hurts society worse than a couple dumb asses being racist!!!

So everybody is ok with a man being sent to prison for a boxed up lab and 1.4 ounce of dope and trumped up gang alligations and a 2nd lab that didnt exsist for 105 yrs! People who kill children dont even get that much time. In america everybody has a right to freedom of speech and are free to have our own political stand. We dont have to like it 105 yrs is wrong!!!
