Louisiana officer's son arrested over black church fires

The son of a police deputy has been arrested as the suspect in three fires at black churches in southern Louisiana, officials say.

Holden Matthews, 21, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with three counts of arson on religious buildings.

The burnings did not result in deaths or injuries, but evoked painful memories of the civil rights era.

Mr Matthews had also commented on posts about neo-Nazi black metal musician Kristian "Varg" Vikernes, who was jailed in 1994 for murder and church burning in Norway, the Daily Beast reported.

Black metal music, an extreme subgenre of heavy metal, often contains references to Satanism and pagan beliefs. Some extremists within the genre, like Vikernes, are also proponents of white nationalism.

Who knows?

The liberal establishment plays fast and loose with actual facts supporting crimes that were committed for "white supremacy" or other race reasons.
Many of the crimes named as racial in nature had little or no connection to racism.
For instance, one crime classified as a  "white nationalist" crime was a KKK or Aryan Nation woman who murdered her fellow KKK /Aryan Nation husband.
In short, many of the "race" crimes committed by people who may or may not have been white nationalists/racists were simply  crimes that had little to do with racism or had no proof of being racist. The FBI just assumed that because some of the people were allied with far-right groups, the crimes were racist in nature.
Even given that many of the crimes could be assumed to have been racist in nature, they still pale by numbers in comparison to the many crimes committed by non-whites. The FBI simply refused to call many crimes committed by non-whites against whites to be racial in nature. Random is the word they liked to use a lot.

When did the KKK or Aryan Nation become "right wing"?

When did the KKK or Aryan Nation become "right wing"?

To liberals anything to the right of Stalin/Mao is a far right, white supremacist.
You're right, they're not right wing...no decent conservative wants to be associated with trash like that.
But, unfortunately, that's how they're categorized by the powers that be.
