Hate is Alive and Well

Racism is pushing up daisies?

Marcus Faella didn’t get the memo.

The self-proclaimed “protector

of the white race” was whipping

his troops into shape for Helter Skelter.

On Faella’s Osceola County’s

 “Aryan compound,” the white supremacist group,

American Front, was stockpiling

AK-47 assault rifles, was engaging

in para-militarty training, and was plotting



Order Here

to develop bio-chemical

weapons of mass destruction.

The reputed end game: killing

Jews, immigrants and minorities,  

during the “upcoming race war.”

Racism  is over?

Only it isn’t. 

And sadly, never really has been.

Racial-hatred like crab grass,

keeps coming back fouling

America’s neatly manicured

melting-pot curb appeal.

Obviously, hate mongers

are a breed apart.  Yet their toxic beliefs

can infect larger elements of society.

It’s naïve to believe we can conquer

racial hatred by denying its existence.

Members of the American Front, a hardcore skinhead hate group, were arrested on May 8^th due to the efforts of an infiltrator.  They were plotting to blow up Orlando City Hall among other things.

9/8/Update:  Mark Faella's trial starts this week. He could get life in prison.
