Alleged Racial Assault Caught on Video; Macdonald Suspect

First, we're going to play Devil's advocate for a moment because some of our readers have noted the last sentence of the article:

MacDonald has not been convicted of any of the charges. He also has no proven association with the Blood and Honour organization.

Seems patently ridiculous when, well, we look at this:

But we think that we all need to consider that any allegation needs to be proven when the case goes to trial, even something as seemingly self-evident as Macdonald's group affiliation. So we're going to cut the CBC some slack here.

There are two videos in the following article. The first is a 24 second clip of the assault itself and a bit of the aftermath. The second part of the video provides the background of the story and includes more photos taken from the ARC blog:

Alleged neo-Nazi attack in B.C. caught on video

Warning: violent content

CBC News Posted: Jan 5, 2012 5:25 PM PT

CBC News has released a video showing a black Vancouver man being beaten by an alleged white supremacist who has since been charged in connection with a string of apparently racially motivated attacks.

A CBC News videographer happened upon an apparent road-rage incident while on duty on Vancouver’s West Side in December 2008.

Court Dates For Blood & Honour Members Postponed

The hearing for Rob de Chazal and Alastair Miller has been scheduled for January 23. Shawn Macdonald's hearing will take place on January 27.

Now we can't say how Miller and Macdonald will defend themselves, but it appears that part of de Chazal's defence will be that he is not a neo-Nazi and that language describing him as such is prejudicial:

Vancouver lawyer attacks 'neo-Nazi' allegations

Lawyers for three men charged in a series of Lower Mainland assaults police characterized as hate crimes appeared in Vancouver provincial court Friday and asked the judge to push back the men's arraignment dates.

All Is Quiet In "White Nationalist" Land: Part III

We've twice (here and here) alluded to something rather odd happening on the Blood & Honour forums (as opposed to the Blood and Honour International/Combat 18 forums). Given that three of their own have been accused of and arrested for a series of assaults in Vancouver, one might expect something about this would be discussed on their website.

And there was a thread created to discuss it. Briefly. So briefly we didn't get the screen shots before the thread "mysteriously" disappeared.

Well, it really isn't all that much of a mystery. Shawn Macdonald, one of the men accused in the series of assaults in Vancouver, is also a moderator on the forums. It appears that he, or someone acting for him, made the offending thread disappear. This is evidenced by the last time Shawn logged in to the forum:

All Is Quiet In "White Nationalist" Land: Part II

Blood & Honour has finally decided to comment on the arrests made last Thursday in Vancouver.

Oh, not the Blood & Honour faction to which the three individuals arrested are a part of. No, the Blood & Honour faction weighing in is the Combat 18 aligned faction:

B&H/Combat 18 Member: "We send bombs and take action...."

Our readers who might swing by the Stormfront forums once in a while will all be able to relate to this story. You find a thread that was obviously edited clumsily by a Stormfront moderator. There are statements which, devoid of context, make no sense. There are quoted sections appearing in other messages that are still there, but the original has disappeared. There are comments telling people to chill out and referring to posters who, again, are no longer present in the discussion as class acts and warriors for the cause. And, without a doubt, you will find at least once poster who has had his posting privileges removed for some unknown infraction.

Sort of like this discussion here which is a disjointed mess.

And, if you're like us, you wish that you had been able to read those posts which have been removed because you just know something juicy was written that might be really embarrassing to some people. You kick yourself thinking, "if only I had gotten there sooner...."

So, should we stop teasing you?

Turns Out We Do Have Information On Alastair Miller

We dug up some of these photos that we had forgotten about. Miller is beside de Chazal:

We're sure that our readers will note the irony of these two photos given the backdrop (certainly no thinking person would consider them POWs, but we await the NSBM benefit concert held on their behalf which will claim them as such).

We also had this poster sent to us a while back:

Hey! We Forgot We Had Video of Blood & Honour BC

In addition to these pictures we had forgotten about....

.... we also remembered that we had managed to save some videos of at least one of the Blood & Honour members arrested December 8.

McKee Uses Blood & Honour Arrests to Promote Violence

Paul Fromm protegee Kyle McKee did an interview with CTV concerning the assaults that took place in Vancouver and the arrest of the three Blood & Honour members suspected of having committed the deeds. 

 
Well, at least McKee has dispensed with the pretext of being opposed to violence:

Neo-Nazi group member defies assault charges

By: Jon Woodward, ctvbc.ca

Date: Saturday Dec. 10, 2011 6:52 PM PT

The leader of the Calgary faction of Blood and Honour said criminal charges won't deter members of the group in Vancouver from using violence as part of a neo-Nazi campaign. 

Kyle McKee told CTV News that he doesn't have "a stitch of remorse" for his own crimes, and expects that the two members of the Vancouver faction of the white nationalist group will continue intimidating minorities.

"I hope no matter what the outcome of the charges, guilty or not, they can pick up the pieces and move on and keep doing what they're doing," McKee said in an interview at his home in Calgary.

More Photos of Blood & Honour (BC) Activities

It looks like our blog here is being used by the msm to do a little research on the B&H movement in Vancouver as evidenced by our last article and the photos that are being used in their stories.

We figure that we might as well post some of the other photos in our collection:

Blog Mentioned on CBC News

Well, we're certainly glad we can be useful. :)

The video can be found here on the CBC article about the Blood & Honour assaults. We are mentioned at 1:05.

Unfortunately, it also posts the McKee-led Blood & Honour's website, as well as Bill Noble's website, as belonging to the same movement. As discussed earlier, same name, rival factions.

MSM Confusing Blood and Honour Factions

W suppose it shouldn't be unexpected since the msm really isn't up to speed on bonehead factionalism, but already they are confusing the Blood & Honour group (led by Macdonald) in Vancouver with the Blood & Honour group in Calgary (led by McKee).

We quote the "Toronto Star" article discussing the arrests:

So, Who in B&H Have Been Arrested?

NOTE: We have updated our timeline of racist violence to reflect these recent arrests.

For those readers who might be new to our little home on the World Wide Web, here are a few photos of the two members of Blood & Honour BC accused by the RCMP of engaging in a series of violent assaults:

Okay, We'll Bite

Alright. You're fishing for a response, here ya go.

Don't worry. All will make sense soon enough.

More of the msn, including "The National Post",  have now commented on the most recent Terry Tremaine decision. And so have our friends and benefactors at Free Dominion.

The reason for this decision, in the minds of the members and promoted by the proprietors of Free Dominion, is starting to become a tired, old refrain:

This Represents the Reality of the "White Nationalist" Movement in Canada

Goudreau and Paul Fromm

We once decided that we were no longer going to write any articles about Kevin Goudreau because even in the, "White Nationalist" movement, he is a pariah. Sure, we alluded to him euphemistically, but it wasn't even sporting to make fun of him anymore. Then, the "National Post" inexplicably decided to make him the face of the fascist movement in Canada.

So, here we are.

Goudreau and Mike Gaio

But you know what? Covering Goudreau here actually has been very useful since it has shown us yet again how polarized the movement is in the country.

After the "National Post" article came out, Goudreau's ego had, as expected, exploded. And he actually tried to present himself as somewhat of an intellectual.

It couldn't have lasted and boy, oh boy, did it blow up.

We begin with Goudreau being challenged for participating in the "Post" interview, which results in Goudreau making grandiose claims about his importance:

September 2011 Bits and Bites: Blasts From the Distant Past, the Recent Past, and Current News Sandwiched in the Middle

Sometimes we like to revisit some older stories, some of which are so old they predate this blog by close to four decades.

For example, here's a name we haven't heard about in years:

Well, it's not entirely true that you were the provincial Socred leader, is it Paulie?

How Well DO Boneheads Keep Their Secrets?

We in the Collective are constantly gathering information. Most of what we collect is never published, but is used to further our understanding of the Movement and the direction it is taking. Other times the information really defies categorization and we struggle with the best way to present that information.

This is one of those times.

What we're posting is the rest of the exchange on the Blood & Honour (C18) forum's Canadian section. It is a continuation of the pissing contest between Volksfront and the Hammerskin aligned Blood & Honour faction, and the faction aligned with Combat 18. The crux of the issue at hand here is how does so much information reach us here at ARC. Is it carelessness? Do boneheads themselves, willingly or not, supply us with information? In reality, it is sort of all of the above. But we'll let the discussion progress with very little commentary from us, at least less than we usually provide. We begin with the part where OdinPatrick takes sides in the Blood & Honour factionalism:
