When hate hits home (Pt 1)

The following is coming out of a Facebook conversation that started when a fellow group member shared a disconcerting incident involving a "kkk nazi skinhead at my house. His daughter and wife were here as well." [sic]

The ensuing discussion kicked off with reference to Alan Berg. A Colorado radio show host who was assassinated on June 18, 1984 by associates of the  white nationalist group, The Order (of the Silent Brotherhood) founded Robert Jay Mathews, in 1983. 

Whether Berg was killed because of his Jewish heritage or because of his outspoken views doesn't matter; Berg was contentious and liked to bait callers.  His specialty,  Berg liked to agitate right-wing extremist groups which put Berg on Mathews' hit-list.
A pivotal incident, according to witnesses, was Mr. Berg's telephone interview of two white supremacist preachers on his program on Feb. 13, 1984. The interview with Pete Peters, the pastor of the La Porte church, and Jack Mohr, a preacher and paramilitary instructor, ended in an angry outburst after Mr. Berg ridiculed his two guests and Mr. Mohr hung up.
What is interesting to note, and what makes these supremacist/neo-Nazi  type groups and militias so dangerous,  you never know when or where individuals may again rear their ugly heads. Remember this guy, Frasier Glenn Miller (and NC sheriff probing Kansas shooter’s ties to 1987 triple slaying following Raw Story reportNC sheriff probing Kansas shooter’s ties to 1987 triple slaying following Raw Story report?)  Miller is the maggot responsible for the April 13, 2014,  shootings near Kansas City which was fatal to three individuals. 
After officers arrested Frazier Glenn Cross — an Aurora, Mo., man better known as F. Glenn Miller — Sunday afternoon, authorities said he went on a rant inside the patrol car. Though Overland Park Police Chief John Douglass wouldn’t say what Cross hollered, a television crew captured him on video while he was handcuffed in the back of the car.

“Heil Hitler,” Miller yelled out, and then he bobbed his head up and down.
Miller was connected to The Order. It was his testimony in 1987 that put many members of The Order behind bars, "But Miller served only three years in prison, largely because he testified against 14 leading white supremacists in a 1988 Arkansas sedition trial. Among other things, Miller told the court that the late Order founder Robert Mathews had given him $200,000 in stolen money to finance the White Patriot Party."
