Neo-Nazi skinhead taken down with one punch 

 

SPOKANE-- A neo-Nazi is in jail because he allegedly tried to pick a fight with the wrong man, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

According to the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office, Daren C. Abbey, 28, is accused of verbally confronting and then assaulting Marlon L. Baker, a 46-year-old African American.  It happened inside a Bayview, Idaho bar on July 3.

According to the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office, Baker was approached by Abbey.  Investigators said Abbey began threatening to stab Baker if he would not leave Bayview.  Investigators said Abbey said "blacks are not welcome here."  After continued harassment, Baker left the bar and walked about 400 yards with Abbey following behind him yelling racial slurs.

Baker finally turned around and Abbey came at him.  That's when investigators said Baker punched Abbey in the face once, knocking him down.  Investigators said Baker was wearing a shirt that said "Spokane Boxing Club Champion".  Investigators also said Abbey was intoxicated.

The Southern Poverty Law Center spoke to the owner of Spokane Boxing who said Baker has never been a licensed professional boxer, to his knowledge.  It is possible Baker may have informal boxing experience.

Investigators said Abbey is listed as a transient out of Coeur d'Alene.  He has ties to California and Montana.  Reports show Abbey had contact with police in Coeur d'Alene in 2004.  He has multiple tattoos including swastikas and a thunderbolt.  He also has a shaved head.
According to SPLC, Abbey was arrested and booked into jail on charges of battery, a misdemeanor, and felony malicious harassment. Officials said Baker was not injured and not charged.

Abbey was treated for a possible broken nose after being booked into the Kootenai County Jail.

Abbey is being held on $75,000 bond.

White Supremacist Stampede

The Daily Beast, Tuesday, July 5, 2011, 5:32am (PDT)

Add to the growing list of candidates considering a bid for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012 America's most famous white-power advocate: David Duke.

 One key precinct for politically minded white-rights activists: Stormfront, the nation's largest white-supremacist website, where thousands of “racial realists” talk about everything from homeschooling and the news to uniting into a single party.  Stormfront founder and radio host Don Black tells The Daily Beast the strategy is to start from the ground up, “where we have a chance of winning. It's impossible to get into the Senate or Congress but state legislatures or smaller offices can work.” Black says the Tea Party's influence spurred hopes among his ideological soulmates—but that the initial excitement has given way to a realpolitik sense that the Stormfront crowd will have to go it alone. “Many of our people are involved in the Tea Party,” says Black. “But much of their leadership is skittish when it comes to talking about racial realities. The Tea Party is a healthy movement but many are too conditioned to run like scared rabbits when called racists.”
