Nazi salute in court as tensions spill over

A Nazi salute was delivered as gang tensions spilled into a court today when two brothers accused of a drive-by shooting appeared in the dock.

The police had a strong presence inside and outside the courtroom and bundled about 12 rival gang associates out of the Court House.

“I’m advised tensions are running high and we have seen a demonstration of that this morning,” said Christchurch District Court Judge Raoul Neave.

One of the accused in the dock, Christopher Allan McKenzie, hurled abuse at the judge as he was remanded in custody for six days.

He called the judge a name and grumbled, “I didn’t consent to nothing.”

The shaven-headed 30-year-old had already delivered a Nazi salute to people being cleared from the courtroom, who had stood and begun mouthing threats to the pair in the dock as soon as they came into the room.

Christopher McKenzie and his brother Daniel Robert McKenzie, 25, both of Sydenham, were jointly charged with discharging a firearm at Wendy May Stewart yesterday with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

They entered no plea and were remanded in custody to February 13 after police opposed them being granted bail…

Another Kiwi neo-Nazi, Brendon ‘Nasty’ Rimmer, 22, is sentenced today on three charges of assault. Rimmer abused, spat on, and struck a group of teenagers (aged between 15 and 17) in Taupo last November (“A Taupo man who spat in an Asian teenager’s face and told him to “get out of my country” has been labelled as nasty by a judge”). Rimmer has previously been involved in the Creativity Movement, popularised [sic] by local bonehead Patrick O’Sullivan.

Russia police arrest skinheads in 20 murders probe
Reuters
February 5, 2008

MOSCOW (Reuters) – Police in Moscow on Tuesday said they arrested four Russian teenagers linked to a skinhead gang that prosecutors accuse of murdering at least 20 foreigners. Attacks on dark-skinned foreigners have risen dramatically in Russia, especially on migrants from former Soviet states in Central Asia and the Caucasus attracted northward by an economy stronger than their own. “They were all arrested in the course of an investigation into a group of skinheads guilty of the murder of at least 20 non-Slavic people,” a spokesman at the Moscow Prosecutor General’s office said. Police have now arrested nine members of the group headed by a 17-year-old, the spokesman said. Last October Moscow’s deputy mayor warned the Russian capital stood on the brink of an explosion in racist skinhead violence directed at foreigners.

Turkish national killed in Moscow

MOSCOW, February 4 (RIA Novosti) – A Turkish national has been stabbed to death by unknown assailants in southeast Moscow, a police source said on Monday. The body of the 27-year-old male, who worked as an electrician at a Moscow-based company, was found on Sunday evening in the doorway of an apartment house. Forensic experts said the man had died from multiple stab wounds. A criminal case has been opened. Routine attacks by skinheads and young gangs on foreigners and people with non-Slavic features have been reported across Russia in recent years. Earlier on Monday, four people in St. Petersburg, Russia’s second largest city, were detained on suspicion of murdering a Kyrgyz man, the fourth murder of a Kyrgyz national in Russia in the last month.

From Russia with hate: Jew attacks get more violent
Russia Today
February 2, 2008

An apparent drop in the number of attacks on Jews in Russia appears to be masking a more troubling trend – the incidents are getting more violent. The community has suffered three attacks in just two weeks. Young people protested in front of the Ulyanovsk Jewish cultural centre, a Holocaust memorial was desecrated in Volgograd, and in Nizhny Novgorod three young men broke into a synagogue shouting nationalist slogans. “The rise of ethnic nationalism endangers the very foundation of Russia, which is a multiethnic and multiconfessional country,” Andrey Zolotov from Russia’s Profile magazine says. Perhaps the most shocking and widely discussed act occurred two years ago, when a young man freely entered the doors of a synagogue in Moscow’s centre during an evening service. A few minutes later a bloody drama played out. Aleksander Koptsev stabbed nine Jews. The 20-year-old Muscovite was charged with attempted murder and fomentation of racial hatred. The verdict was 13 years behind bars – an outcome which did not satisfy the Jewish community. Statistics from the Federation of Jewish Communities in Russia show that the number of anti-Semitic acts actually declined slightly last year. “Social situation and political situation in the country became much more stable. Stability in the country is the best weapon against xenophobia. So we hope as Russia becomes stronger xenophobia will become less,” Borukh Gorin from the Federation of Jewish Communities says. More than one per cent of Russian citizens are Jews.

Hal’s Back

For fuck’s sake. After pissing off and declaring he was never coming back, neo-Nazi radio ham Hal Turner is back, with denials (of course) and demands for more money (of course) from his highly-critical listening audience.

I have pledged four more Hal Turner Shows over each of the next four weeks. If enough money comes in from listeners to cover that expense, you’ll get four more shows in March. If not, the end.

When I quit on January 9 it was for a whole slew of reasons outlined in my show. The long and short of it was that I was emotionally and financially spent, my feelings were hurt by the back-stabbing scumbags in the movement and I needed time off.

I’ve had a few weeks to relax and am willing to bring the show back, but YOU have to pull your weight with the money. No more fucking around figuring someone else will donate. YOU are the “someone else” so put $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 in the mail so we can meet the $1100 expenses for the next month of show. I will post the contributions received on this site so all of you can see.

Commentary…

Q. RBT: Is the Birmingham Hotel a Nazi Pub? Proof please!

Fat Tony: Chief Wiggum! You honor us with your presence.
Chief Wiggum: Baloney! I’m not going to rest until one of us is behind bars. You! You wouldn’t happen to know anything about a cigarette truck that got hijacked on Route 401?
Fat Tony: What’s a truck?
Chief Wiggum: Don’t play dumb with me!

A. Yes Virginia, there is a neo-Nazi pub in Fitzroy.

The Birmy hosted the 2006 ISD gig, the 2005 ISD gig (the 2004 ISD gig was held elsewhere), the 2003 ISD gig [?] and was the venue for the memorial in years previous to this. In 2002 The Birmy hosted a gig organised by the same mobs — Blood & Honour Australia and the Southern Cross Hammerskins — to celebrate Hitler’s birthday. The pub has also been used to hold organising meetings, generally welcomes boneheads, and is known to both locals and police for this reason. Note that one of the difficulties in establishing exactly when meetings have taken place (and to a lesser extent gigs) is that both groups operate clandestinely. Their ability to do so requires people like Gary, the manager of The Birmy, and the handful of ostensibly ‘apolitical’ skinheads who attend such gigs to co-operate with these groups in their efforts to remain unexposed: hence Gary’s denials that any such gigs or meetings have ever taken place (a situation made all the more farcical by the boneheads themselves conceding the venue). Suffice it to say that during the ten years or so Gary has been managing the pub, B&H and the SCHS have been made welcome on repeated occasions. (Other bonehead venues have included the Melbourne Croatia Social Club in Sunshine (the venue for last year’s ISD gig) and The Jam Tin Rehearsal Studios in Cheltenham.)

“The jury found he then either butted or punched the victim in the head before stabbing him in the abdomen.”

One of The Birmy’s regulars is the Very Reverend Patrick O’Sullivan. Patrick’s Church — The Creativity Movement — features in a recent article in the Melbourne Leader. Anyone who’s ever spent any time walking the streets of inner Melbourne has probably encountered one of his stickers, often scratched out, attached to a pole or building. Other than through direct appeals, this is Patrick’s preferred method of proselytising on behalf of his faith. The available evidence suggests that this strategy has its flaws, as to this point Patrick has only managed to recruit a handful of teenage boys to his cause.

Anyway, here’s what JOG — in the form of a problem called Maria — has to say:

On thin white ice
Maria Bervanakis
Melbourne Leader
January 30, 2008

A WHITE supremacist group continues to operate in Melbourne’s inner-city, despite apparent breaches of the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act. The Creativity Movement promotes itself as “the most Anti-Christian Church in the World” and its supporters post stickers across town reading, “White Power! White People Awake, Save the White Race.”

The group’s Australian leader, Patrick O’Sullivan who refers to himself as a Reverend argues it is their right to do so. “We have a right to congregate our religion; if people don’t like it, tough luck,” he said. “There is nothing wrong with promoting the white race. Nobody is forcing no one to join it, so I am not apologetic.”

Mr O’Sullivan refused to provide details on the group’s headquarters, saying only that it met at different venues in the inner-city and had a Collingwood PO box.

He would not disclose how many members the group has.

“We do not give out numbers. It’s open to a degree, but we just don’t give out numbers,” he said…

My guess is one, two, or possibly even three. See also : Three Separate Attacks on Foreign Students in Voronezh, Russia, UCSJ, February 4, 2008. As ever, the final word goes to three time world heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis:

In his 43rd year, and nearly five years since he threw his final punch, talk of a comeback seems like a long-forgotten joke. Instead, becoming one of sport’s elder statesmen and a citizen of the world suits him. Racism was rife in the London he grew up in during the Seventies, but that, he believes, has changed.

“You never hear monkey chants at British football grounds now like we did when England played Spain,” Lewis said during an interview with Piers Morgan for GQ magazine. “That was shocking. Britain has changed a lot. When I go back to my old neighbourhood in East Ham, I’m amazed by how different it seems. My barber, Carlos, is still there, but that’s about it. The ethnicity is very different. And the laws are getting a lot stricter against racism, which is great. The Stephen Lawrence case and others have made a big difference.

“I remember feeling that people didn’t like me just because of my skin colour. But I also remember a lot of guys coming to beat me up and a white skinhead protecting me. And I was so shocked because I associated a skinhead with German Nazis who hated Jews and black people. I knew then that there was a part of England that didn’t like black people, or racial integration. And you still get that, but a lot of it is ignorance rather than racism. I think education and travel are so important…”
