I heard about the attack, but it seems many reports left out a key bit of follow-up info...

That it was perpetrated by a skinhead/Aryan Guard member. Most of the original reports just mentioned the guy's name and that he was charged. They're going after random transit guys now, this has gone well beyond peaceful demonstration. There's only 50-odd of them, crack down NOW before innocent people are murdered.

Yeah, I hate it when somebody makes a post on the internet, and fails to provide any of the key info.

The attacks on non-white transit workers is a ongoing problem now? This is actually the first I've heard of even the one attack, so pardon my ignorance.

When are the police going to crack down? When they actually manage to kill a random non-white guy?

No, Neo-Nazism is an ongoing problem in Calgary. Now they are taking violent action. Go to their website to see a blatant threat of violence. Peaceful demonstration my foot.

What are you suggesting they crack down on exactly?

I'm confused, other then the guy being a looney racist, until he breaks some sort of law you can't really do anything.

I'm sorry, I just assumed Calgarians were aware of the Aryan Guard. I guess I was wrong. A quick CP search reveals a number of threads about them.

what set purpose goal? I was surprised to learn that the attacker was a member of the Aryan Guard, something I think the Herald and other sources should have informed us of.

The Aryan Guard has not disbanded, check their site.

Quote:
The recent statement of dissolution by a few rogue ex-council members in no way heralds the end of the Aryan Guard. If anything, we will function far more efficiently without the bureaucratic, half-assed diplomacy of three tired old farts who have no stomach for street life.
That's right - three. It takes no less than seven councilors to pass any major decisions for the Aryan Guard, and three individuals took it upon themselves to declare us dead and gone.
While there have been some recent inconveniences, the bulk of the Aryan Guard is still here, and still able and willing to carry on the march of salvation. New councilors have been selected to replace the old, and a new mandate is in the works.
For years, pitiful fools have tried to play nice with the enemies of our race. I tell you now that this shall be no more. The time has come to crush the mouth that bites the hand that feeds it. A new day of carnage and brutality is dawning. Third world immigrants have NO place in this land that our forefathers settled and built for we, their descendants. They do not belong here and they shall be treated as what they are: unwelcome, alien invaders.
To those who hate the White race, be you communists, anarchists, or various other forms of deluded, hateful scum, know this: your final days are at hand. We have no tolerance for you or your murderous ilk. You have no love for the people who founded the nation which you dwell within and leech upon, and every time you seek to strike a blow against us, the blow shall be dealt back ten thousand fold. You will crumple to your knees and expire, drown in pools of your own filthy blood, crumble away to dust and be completely forgotten by generations to come.
To the good Calgarians who have supported us and lauded our efforts, we have not abandoned you. It is a new day, and we shall seize it and do good with it.
OPEN THE GATES!
what more threat of violence does the police need?

Didn't know the Herald had to inform us of anything. I'm looking for the Heralds article, but I can't even find it. Maybe they didn't have the source canoe has and maybe they didn't even have the information to report? And why are you even bringing this up 12 days after article?

Was going off this news article from late last year. http://www.canada.com/news/Calgary+A...019/story.html

To need to do what? I remind you this has been one incident that only has a possible link to the Aryan Guard. This isn't a gang war here, what exactly do you want the CPS to do? They did catch the guy didn't they?

a point-form rundown of 'my point':

- The Aryan Guard have been active in recruiting at high schools since 2007
- They have proven themselves violent (this is NOT the only incident, there were several beatings including that of a Japanese tourist, and they firebombed a house with kids in it)
- They are basically a gang
- They have a public threat of violence on their website (updated AFTER the dissolution announcment, if you'd read what I posted)

They are a danger. We cannot continue turning the other cheek.

If I knew, I would be a cop. I'm just really saddened and upset by this incident. I'm sort of glad for the lack of media coverage, though, I guess. One of them is behind bars and with little publicity to boot. Shoulda thought this through before posting it here. Oh well.

None of this was apparent from your first post, thread title, or most of your subsequent posts.

Not to say it's an unimportant point or topic though.

They arrested the guy. What do you mean by crack down? Do you want them to arrest neo-nazis for being neo-nazis?
