UPDATE::White Supremacist Convicted Of Murdering 3 At Jewish Centers

UPDATED to add this intriguing critique of Miller's characterization of being a "self-identified as an atheist":

Miller, who ran for several offices including U.S. House and Senate, has been described as “one of the pioneers in the modern hate world” and “a central figure of the white power movement.”

CNN has reported that Miller is a neo-pagan who also “self-identified as an atheist,” who uses anti-Christian rhetoric.

Here I take a deep dive into that characterization, and I will explain at the end why I think it’s worth the effort.

The “Atheist” Neo-Nazi Just Convicted of Triple Murder Was No Atheist

_____
The man who admitted killing three people at two suburban Kansas City Jewish sites was convicted of murder and other charges Monday, shortly after he told jurors he hoped to "die a martyr" for the shootings.

It took the jury of seven men and five women just over two hours to find Frazier Glenn Miller guilty of one count of capital murder, three counts of attempted murder and assault and weapons charges.

After the verdict was announced, Miller, 74, of Aurora, Missouri, said: "The fat lady just sang." As jurors were filing out of the courtroom, he told them: "You probably won't sleep tonight."

Next, the jury will deliberate the sentence for Miller, who could get the death penalty.

Hearing Set For Frazier Glenn Cross, Suspect In Jewish Site Shootings

I'm a tad confused as this guy seems to have more names than I do socks. I'm just glad to see the wheels of justice roll along.

Seventy-three-year-old Frazier Glenn Cross, of Aurora, Missouri, is charged with capital murder in the April 13 shooting deaths of 69-year-old Dr. William Lewis Corporon, 14-year-old Reat Griffin Underwood and 53-year-old Terri LaManno.

A Kansas judge last month ordered Cross to undergo a mental evaluation after his attorneys expressed concerns about his ability to help with his defense.

Cross told The Associated Press last week that one of his attorneys said he passed the evaluation "with flying colors." Results of the evaluation were to be revealed at a hearing Thursday morning at the Johnson County Courthouse in Olathe,

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."

Pt. 2::NC sheriff probing Kansas shooter’s ties to 1987 triple slaying following Raw Story report

Last week, Raw Story brought you an in-depth report exploring accused Kansas City shooter Frazier Glenn Miller’s possible ties to a 1987 triple slaying at an adult bookstore in North Carolina. Now, investigators with the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office are traveling from North Carolina to Kansas to question Miller, according to a report this evening from Charlotte news station WBTV

[,,,]
Miller was the founder of the White Patriot Party and Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He testified in Sheets’ trial after taking a plea deal with federal investigators in a separate weapons crimes case in Missouri. Sheets’ attorneys argued it was Miller, not his client, who had no alibi for the night of the murders.

Pt. 1::Frazier Glenn Miller’s ties to a 1987 triple slaying: Did the feds protect a killer?

On April 13, Frazier Glenn Miller was arrested after he allegedly shot and killed three people at a Jewish Community Center and a Jewish retirement center in suburban Kansas City. Within hours of the arrest, the media reported that Miller had a long history as a white supremacist and virulent anti-Semite who has spent time in prison and, more importantly, been freed in plea deals with the federal government.

Two defense attorneys tell Raw Story that Miller was working out his end of such a plea deal when he appeared as a witness for the prosecution in a murder trial nearly three decades ago. But they say it was obvious to them even then that Miller should have been considered the prime suspect in that crime — a crime that, to this day, remains unsolved.

As Miller faces charges for killing three people in Kansas City, these attorneys say it’s fair to ask the federal government – why wasn’t Miller in prison many years before this?

[,,,]
Miller says in his autobiography that the federal officials approached him with a plea deal.

“I was to plead guilty to one count of felony possession of a hand grenade and answer all questions posed to me by the authorities,” he writes. “In return, they would recommend a 5-year prison sentence, immunity from any further prosecution by either state or federal authorities, and entrance into the Federal Witness Protection Program which included the financial support of my family while I served my sentence.”

Miller claims the information he provided to authorities did not result in any indictments or prison sentences. (The Southern Poverty Law Center reports that Miller testified against 14 white supremacy leaders on charges of sedition. None were convicted.)

One person Miller testified against was Doug Sheets, in a 1989 trial for the Shelby III bookstore killing.

Lyons believes that federal authorities – and their plea deal with Miller – prevented them from looking at Miller more closely.

“If they thought [the prosecutor] had screwed up somehow, they had the right to come in behind him and file civil rights charges, by virtue of depriving the people in the bookstore of their civil rights by murdering them,” Lyons says. “That was never attempted. The problem was — and what comes back to me is — Miller got to them first and they kind of took him for all they could get out of him. My thinking is that it is very possible they just looked the other way and were not very interested in following the path to Miller and I think they should have.”
