A sad loss of an anti-stereotype skinhead. There's still an expectation that skinheads will be racist thugs.

Neo-Nazi charged in fatal stabbing
20-year-old neo-Nazi has been charged in the murder last week of teenage anti-fascist activist in P?íbram, central Bohemia.

Local daily Príbramsky deník reported that the suspect, wearing a Wehrmacht army uniform, stabbed 18-year-old Jan Kucera on 18 January, one day before far-right groups planned a march in nearby Plzen. According to witnesses, Kucera was attacked after confronting a group of extremists after they gave the Nazi salute in a Príbram restaurant.

my own thoughts....
The issue of the far right in central and eastern europe is a complex one - but things are getting worse. here in Budapest an Ultra-Nationalist 'Magyar Garda' has been formed with 600 public and uniformed members and often march down the streets of downtown Budapest unopposed. Last week they marched in the 8th district to protest 'Gypsy Criminality.'

I worry that this story (above) could be repeated here in the future. Someday I will write a story about all the crazy shit happening in Hungary these days - but, to be frank, it is hard to know where to start in explaining all the madness.

I think Kucera's family message to anti-fascist activists is quite appropriate :
'The Honza family would like to appeal to everyone who feels anger and need of revenge on the neo-nazis, don't lower yourself to their subtle and primitive level of thinking and acting.'

RIP fella from a traditional skinhead in Glasgow. Condolences to family and friends.

Boots and braces don't make me a racist.

Maybe this will shut up the "freedom of speech" elite in UCD who would love to give LePen a platform to spew his hate.
No platform for fascists!
End of.
Rest in Peace Jan
