Occupy Broad Ripple Organizer Listed White Pride Group's Website On Facebook Page Opposing Black Expo

On Wednesday, blogger Mark Small of Civil Discourse Now broke the news that Occupy Broad Ripple With Guns organizer Johnathan (John) Hallgarth was listed on Facebook that his "political views" are "National Alliance."   National Alliance is one of the largest white supremacist groups in the country.

After Mark blogged on the subject, I wrote on my blog adding my two cents from the right.  I am very supportive of Second Amendment rights and believe that the possibility that citizens might be armed does deter crime.  However, I have often seen good causes get taken over by fringe players who have a far different agenda.  It is important that those of us who believe in gun rights be vigilant against those who might want to usurp the cause for a different agenda.   To not resist such extremists in our midst is to allow the left to paint us all as extremists.

In my blog I pointed out information I learned from Mark, namely that Hallgarth is known as "Der Ecips Gnaw" on the Internet, including Facebook.  (He also goes by other names such as "John E. Wang," "John Wang," "The Mayor of Fountaintown," "The Motown Crackpipe.")  I also found out from googling that "Der Ecips Gnaw" had posted on numerous race related topics.  I had little doubt at that point that the National Alliance he cited for his political views was THE National Alliance of white supremacist fame.

According to later Facebook postings on the Occupy Broad Ripple Facebook page, when WRTV reporter Jack Rinehart asked Hallgarth, aka "Der Ecips Gnaw" about the "National Alliance" reference he indicated that the reference was to the National Alliance Of Families For the Return of America's Missing Servicemen.  Not sure how that could possibly be a logical answer to the Facebook inquiry about one's "political views" but let's give Mr. Hallgarth, aka "Der Ecips Gnaw" the benefit of the doubt ... for now.

Der Ecips Gnaw previously started a Facebook page to "End Black Expo (Summer Celebration) Now." Lest it be taken down after seeing this, I have linked to the info page here and the wall to the page here.  On the page, Mr. Gnaw links to http://www.stormfront.org/   I encourage people to go to the website.  I have included the logo to the right.  Here is how Stormfront describes itself:

"We are a community of White Nationalists. There are thousands of organizations promoting the interests, values and heritage of non-Whites. We promote ours."

The website has a link to the "White Pride Enterprises Project" and the "Latest David Duke Video."  The website also has a large forum section discussing various white pride subjects.

Let's return though to the "National Alliance" defense Mr. Gnaw offered.  An alert reader found this page on the Internet containing a comment with the exact same email address as used by Mr. Gnaw on the Facebook page against the Black Expo:

Mr. Jagger, Again I must thank you, jager, for your revolutionary words in a time when not enough gentiles are standing up and saying "something isn't right." when this fire is ignited in one's soul he or she will forever be a racially concious individual. I hope you are frequently visiting a website known as natall.org. (The webiste has since changed to http://www.natvan.com/)   It is the website for the national alliance the foremost resource for racially concious person. (Emphasis supplied.) The NA has a news website that is updated daily written by some real revolutionaries. You can learn alot from these wise gentlemen. It is easy to see the injustice done in our country. but it is hard to pinpoint where to make the change. please w/b @ mtc_wang@yahoo.com John T. W. Hallgarth Curator, The Motown Crackpipe

When someone called him out on his comments, this was his response:

Mr. Gnaw aka "mayoroffountaintown" is apparently in the business of selling "herbal incense" and can be found on the Internet hawking products, including E-bay.  I do not understand why someone would pay $33 for a 5 gram bag of blueberry mint herbal incense. (Actually maybe I do.)   WebMD though last year had a lengthy article which claimed that incense products being sold on the Internet often include designer drugs that don't show up in drug tests but produce a high.   Because the synthetic cannabinoids found in these products are new, they remain legal in many states.  As I recall Indiana has attempted to address these designer drugs that mimic already illegal drugs through legislation, but prosecution has proven very difficult.

Again, I strongly support the right of those with a permit to carry their guns for self-protection. I think armed citizens are a deterrent to crime.  I want thugs to be concerned that their next victim might be armed.  What concerns me though about this rally is that many of my Second Amendment friends may choose to participate in an event that is being led by someone on the fringe, someone who might have alternative motives.  That would undermine a worthy cause.
