Not your typical Neo Nazi

[Stand Your Ground]

Nazi tattoo on his chest, spray-paint can in hand, Ian Baron approached a Montgomery County synagogue shortly before midnight.

The 22-year-old seemed an unlikely neo-Nazi. Born in Honduras, he was adopted and raised by Conservative Jewish parents who lived four blocks away — at a home in Olney where he still showed up for occasional Friday Shabbat dinners.


“Arbeit Macht Frei,” Baron added, the German phrase that hung above the entrance to Auschwitz and translates to “Work will make you free.”

strange one indeed

[A Revolutionary Tool]

WTF is he going to tell the Aryan Brotherhood or La Eme when he's locked up?

[Agent Ducky]

That's just weird.... I kinda don't even wanna know that guy's motivations for what he did...

[Johnny Kerosene]

WTF is he going to tell the Aryan Brotherhood or La Eme when he's locked up?

Actually I'm pretty sure the two are allied in some prisons, so he might be pretty well off.

[Leftie]

I must say that is pretty weird.

[Heathen Communist]

That's fucked up.

[Chambered Word]

Rabbi Reuben Landman, who has known Baron for 11 years, took the witness stand.
“I don’t see a neo-Nazi there,” he said, looking at Baron. “I see a very sick kid.”


sounds like an accurate description to me. he's another example of how the conditions that turn people towards fascism are not restricted to a particular ethnicity or religious group.

Well, here in Sweden we had the wonderful Jackie Arklöv... Dedicated Nazi, police murderer, mercenary and.. born in Liberia.

[Old Mole]

I wonder if this Baron guy will have to do the same as Arklöv, sterilize himself to prevent the spreading of his "inferior race"....?

dont forget famous jewish nazi Dan Burros: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Burros

[The_Outernationalist]

Some people really are just pathetic and are sad creatures indeed.

[Hebrew Hammer]

All I can say is what the fuck. The weirdest thing to me is, he still kept shabbat before doing this, he was (essentially) a practicing Jew. Maybe some hot Aryan chick caught his fancy and he wanted to 'woo' her because, as you know, nothing makes the ladies cream their jeans like some shoah graffiti.

If "La Eme" refers to the Mexican Mafia, then yeah, they are allies.

[Flying Trotsky]

That is seriously weird. Makes you wonder just what crazy stuff happened to twist a guy like that...

Though I guess you could say that about every nazi...
