Obituary: Noted white supremacist--read racist and antisemite--Tom Metzger, 82, has died. He and his son John were infamous for their activities. His son I recall was on the infamous Geraldo program that erupted in a brawl and with the host ending up with a broken nose.
The dad was no better and even worse:
Nick Martin, editor of The Informant, which covers hate and extremism in America, tweeted: “If David Duke is America’s best-known white supremacist in the past 40 or so years, then Tom Metzger was arguably No. 2. His influence on organized racism in the US was large, and he even had sway with a number of young neo-Nazis in recent years.”
In 1990, an Oregon jury ordered Metzger to pay $5 million in punitive damages after skinheads he incited pleaded guilty in 1989 to criminal charges in the racially motivated killing of Mulugeta Seraw, a 27-year-old Ethiopian.
Metzger’s son, John, was told to pay $1 million — part of a $12.5 million judgment.
“The jury also awarded $3 million in punitive damages against the white supremacist group (WAR) and $2.5 million in compensatory damages under a rule that authorizes a plaintiff to collect the money from any defendant who can pay it,” said The New York Times._____
"Embarrassment" is putting it mildly.
