‘Born In Violence’

Investigators have yet to point to a motive in Wade Page’s deadly rampage at a Sikh gurdwara in Wisconsin last Sunday. He killed six people before turning his gun on himself after being confronted by police.

We do know that he had a long history in the white power music scene and was recently patched into a skinhead group called the Hammerskins, who have been carrying out hate crimes across the country for nearly a quarter-century.

But we now also know that through his connection with the Hammerskins, he recently crossed paths with another white supremacist group, American Front. Fourteen of their members were recently indicted for plotting acts of domestic terrorism in Florida.

Nick Martin has our must read piece on a nexus of American terror.
