Hal Turner Convicted

Sure, this is more of an American thing, but as Turner made not too veiled threats against Canadians he didn't care for, we thought we'd provide a link to our friends at the One People's Project which discusses the conviction:

HAL TURNER GUILTY!

OPP have been watching Turner for the better part of a decade, as well as Bill White.

We imagine it must feel pretty sweet to see karma finally bite these two in the ass.

Bill White is So Screwed

Yes, we know that Bill White is an American and as such would appear to fall outside our self-assigned mandate to cover Canadian issues, but as part of the charges against him are as a result of his threats against two Canadians including Richard Warman, we thought we would post an update on his upcoming trial. A short summary? It ain't looking good for Billy:

Tip to Nazis: Don't @#$% With Richard Warman

Some time ago, an American neo-Nazi named William (Bill) White called for the murder of Richard Warman owing to Mr. Warman's active campaign against racism in Canada. White published Warman's home address and place of work. He suggested methods by which an individual could kill Mr. Warman in the most graphic manner possible.

Warman filed a complaint about White's website, Overthrow.com, with the CRTC. Unfortunately, the CRTC claimed they couldn't do anything because White and his website were both based in the United States and beyond the reach of their mandate (evidently blocking a website advocating the murder of a Canadian citizen didn't occur to them).

White thought he was untouchable and acted accordingly. However, chickens came home to roost in October 2008 when White was arrested on federal charges by the FBI. According to news reports and court papers, White's arrest was based primarily on recent online threats against a member of the jury that convicted the Creativity Movement's leader Matt Hale off incitement to murder. Additional information in court papers indicate that White's arrest was also based on an article suggesting the assassination of president-elect Barak Obama, as well as threats made towards a certain Canadian lawyer in Ontario (see pages 10 and 11 of 24).
