Link Sanchez, of the bronzed Mohawk, was a Puerto Rican friend of mine who had once belonged to the white supremacist street gang the Fourth Reich, south of Baltimore, in the Lansdowne area. Their traditional enemy, for what seemed a four year period, was a local black gang called The Untouchables [obviously not conversant in Indian caste politics] based in the neighboring Arbutus area. His stories can be found in When You’re Food and The Logic of Steel. The bat was the favorite weapon of both gangs. Link’s eyes would glaze and he’d look skyward in ecstasy when he recounted his gang experiences. His limousine driving job simply did not provide the meaningful encounters his life as a teenage Latino white supremacist had. After dropping off some rich dude in South Baltimore or the Inner Harbor, he would cruise around looking for me walking to work, stop when he saw me, roll down the window and say, “Hey, fag-monkey, wanna lift?” And I would soon get out of a limo at the supermarket in my torn jeans and flannel shirt…
#25-09: night, under a minute, first-person aggressor
“My friend Steve—we were in the Fourth Reich together—had been jumped by theses mookes [blacks] and they broke a bat over his head. We went out one night—six of us with two bats—and caught these seven mookes out in the open. I never been in a fight during the day—ever. It’s mostly at night and outside. The bat is such a fun weapon. We had three of these guys hurt and two were down while the rest scattered like rats in fire. The sound of a bat hitting ribs is very distinctive. Sounds just like popcorn popping. What a perfect night that was.”

So these guys never did any background checking on this dude to verify the purity of his blood? I take it they didn't last long?
JR:
Isn't it fascinating that the underdogs gravitate toward the Nazis?
Is there a fifth reich?
I'll bet Morris Dees is having an orgasm! "See, we told you, eeek! Nazis! Whitefolks badthink! Call the organs, er, FBI, NYT, RSVP, ATF, TSA, .." Oughta generate more donations!
