Police tackled and arrested longtime neo-Nazi Alex Linder after he crossed police lines at a demonstration and fought with officers. Linder, a vicious ideologue and the proprietor of the Vanguard News Network website (motto: "No Jews. Just right"), had organized a "rally against genocide" that focused on the carjacking and brutal murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom in Knoxville last January. Linder and other white supremacists have used the case to claim black-on-white hate murders are not sufficiently covered by the media, though Knoxville police say the killings, while horrific, contained no element of race hate. The victims' parents also have deplored the racist rhetoric. Linder was arrested just before the rally began as he walked down Main Street — set aside for use by police and emergency workers only — with a sign reading, "Murdered By Muds, Covered Up By Jews." Linder was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, assault on a police officer and vandalism. He posted a $4,500 bond later the same day.
