In Perth, Australia, Brendon O’Connell<\/a><\/strong> goes to court tomorrow<\/strike> today (Friday, December 11). O’Connell is accused of crimes under West Australian racial vilification laws. Also charged with offences under these laws is Simon Charles Barker<\/strong><\/a>. The two men are the first to be charged under these laws since an Aboriginal teenager was prosecuted in late 2006 (the charges were dismissed<\/a> in her case).<\/p>\n

The laws (amendments to the Criminal Code) were introduced in 2004 as a response by the WA Government to the re-emergence of the (now-defunct) neo-Nazi groupuscule the ‘Australian Nationalists Movement’<\/a> (ANM), and the formation of a small gang called the ‘White Devils’, whose antics included spraying racist graffiti on property belonging to various Jewish, Chinese and African groups and individuals. (The ANM collapsed in a heap several years ago, and its former leader, Jack van Tongeren<\/strong>, now daubs paint onto a canvas for fun. His former arch-rival<\/a>, Dr. James Saleam<\/strong><\/a>, now leads the ‘Australia First Party’<\/a>, which has over 500 members and is scheduled to be registered as a political party early next year.)<\/p>\n

The only member of the White Devils not to be imprisoned for his role in this and other nutty behaviour was a bloke by the name of Ben Weerheym<\/a><\/strong>. Weerheym was a nasty man who, in April 2007, wrote<\/a> of my cat: “trust you to own a [deleted] cat you [deleted] limp wristed weedy little anarchist twerp. i[‘]d like to feed you[r] stupid pest to my dog, it just loves the flesh of anarchist wankers.” As a result of these and other such shenanigans, the keyboard hero eventually ended up losing his job, his house, his dignity, and fled the state.<\/p>\n

He now lives under an assumed name.<\/p>\n

To put it another<\/a> way: \u201cAndy from slackbastard is just a loudmouth leftie keyboard warrior and nothing to worry about\u201d (ex-Thales employee and neo-Nazi organiser Nicole Hanley<\/a><\/strong>).

FBI informant and Internet shock jock Hal Turner<\/a><\/strong> had his day in court on December 8. Accused of making death threats against three federal judges in Chicago because they wrote a ruling supporting gun control, a judge declared a mistrial. A new trial is scheduled for March 1, 2010 (Mistrial in Case of Blogger Accused of Threatening Judges<\/a>, Mark Fass, New York Law Journal<\/em>, December 8, 2009).<\/p>\n

In Roanoke, Virginia, everyone’s favourite Hollywood Nazi Bill White<\/strong> has also been charged with making threats on the, uh, Internets. His trial is ongoing. (All-white jury to hear case against neo-Nazi Bill White<\/a>, Laurence Hammack, The Roanoke Times<\/em>, December 10, 2009). NB. The Roanoke Times<\/em> gotta blog<\/a> which is closely following White’s case.<\/p>\n

In Tampa, Florida, neo-Nazi John Ditullio<\/strong> has appeared in the first episode of the hit new TV series Legal Eye for the Nazi Guy<\/em>, as ‘Accused murderer John Allen Ditullio’s Nazi tattoos hidden from jury’<\/a> (news.com.au, December 10, 2009). Ditullio is accused of stabbing two men, killing one. He is pleading not guilty.<\/p>\n
