William Alexander "Bill" White (born May 29, 1977) is the leader of the American National Socialist Workers' Party, and former administrator of Overthrow.com, a now-defunct website dedicated to anti-communist thought, and far-right interpretations of anti-Zionist and anti-capitalist speech. White came to public attention in 1996 in a front page article in ''The Washington Post'' after he posted allegations about the stepmother of a girl he said was being abused.〔Shields, Todd & Bowles, Scott. ("Over the Line On-Line: Family Put Under Siege )", ''The Washington Post'', February 14, 1996.〕 In 1999 he expressed support for Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, killers of twelve students and a teacher in the Columbine High School massacre, because according to White, they were being oppressed by the United States education system.〔Tippet, Sarah. ("Web Site Asks Youths To Carry Weapons, Build Bombs" ), Reuters, May 3, 1999 (now a deadlink).〕 In 2005, ''The New York Times'' quoted White as having "laughed" when United States district court judge Joan Lefkow's husband and mother were murdered〔Wilgoren, Jodi et al. ("Shadowed by Threats, Judge Finds New Horror" ), ''New York Times'', March 2, 2005.〕 He told ''The Roanoke Times'' that he looked forward to "further killings of Jews and their sympathizers."〔Cramer, John. ("White supremacist comments on case" ) ''The Roanoke Times'', March 3, 2005.〕 White is skeptical of the Holocaust, saying "claims that ... the gas chambers were part of a 'Holocaust' of 'six million,' were invented almost entirely by the Soviet Union, and were later adopted by the Jewish communities of the Western nations."〔White, Bill. ("The Argument against the Holocaust" ), Overthrow.com, April 3, 2005.〕 The Anti-Defamation League quotes White saying "there was no Holocaust" and describes what it calls "White's Holocaust denial rhetoric". In 2008, White was arrested for alleged threats to a federal juror. On December 18, 2009, White was found guilty on four counts, one of which was later dismissed by the judge. In 2010 the ACLU filed a brief asking the court to reverse White's convictions on those three charges. A federal district court overturned the convictions on First Amendment grounds and White was released in April 2011. In 2012, the prosecution appealed the decision and White fled the country, violating his supervised release, and was arrested in Mexico. ==Background== White was raised in the Horizon Hill neighborhood of Rockville, Maryland. According to an April 1999 interview with ''The Washington Times'', he began to drift toward anarchism after reading ''The Communist Manifesto'' at 13. He attended Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, Maryland, where he founded the Utopian Anarchist Party (UAP) and published a magazine that focused on opposition to the education system, psychiatry, and law enforcement. White graduated from Walt Whitman High School in June 1994. He became a psychology major at the University of Maryland, College Park where, in 1995, he started another political group called the Bill White Student Group, a continuation of the UAP. He founded Overthrow.com as the group's website where he published material from a wide range of political viewpoints, including communism, anarchism, and fascism.〔(Russia Contemplates Sports Agreement With Iran - English pravda.ru )〕 In 1995, White faced criminal charges of possessing deadly weapons, a knife and a club, distributing obscene material, and attempting to escape from police custody, arising out of the distribution of political leaflets. Montgomery County declined to prosecute the case. In 1997, White served seven months in the Montgomery County Detention Center on weapons, assault and resisting arrest charges.〔('I am just so tired of this Semitism' )〕 On February 14, 1996, White was featured in a front page story in ''The Washington Post'' after posting on Internet news groups the name and telephone number of a woman he believed was abusing her daughter. The supposed victim had allegedly told a university counseling group that her parents would not allow her to use the telephone or see friends; someone from the group spread the story, and White posted it, asking readers to telephone the mother and "tell her you are disgusted and you demand that she stops." The ''Post'' reported that the mother and stepfather were near breaking point after receiving threatening telephone calls.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bill White (neo-Nazi)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
