    Just deserts? yikes, what am I thinking?

    Yes, the thought did cross my mind. How could it not, given how this happened, oh the irony. See, hate does beget hate.

    I'm sure there will be a movie. Probably a book out by next week. Hate facsinates.

    I am admiring of your correct spelling of just deserts, from the latin "to deserve," not the latin "to desert."

    Although, I hear they bandy that phrase around in law school, so perhaps that's how you learned to spell it.

      Same here.


      40% "Karma gonna get ya!"
      20% holy crap!!
      10% what a tragic set of circumstances
      30% I weep for this poor misguided child, and the future he will have

      On the other hand, who in their right mind would ever think that California would secede as a WHITE nation? Did he not realize he was already a minority by skin color (not to mention a 0.4% minority by ideology)?

        His supremacist group, which was the largest in the county (according to the article), has only 400 members in 32 states.
        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          This article is sloppy. It implies that the murder was a direct result of the father's ideology. A closer reading reveals that the author knows nothing about the motive, including whether it had anything to do at all with his Neo Nazism.

            Hall and his group were the ones at the Nazi rally I photographed last year. I posted a fairly large photo essay of that event in the photography thread, and I recognize many of the faces from the article from that event (some of them show up in my photos).


            I didn't have a long enough lens to shoot these guys when they were out in the open, but I think that is Hall next to the bearded guy (with his face obstructed by the fence). The guy in the white T with black gloves shows up in the NYT photo essay. You can tell it is him from the face tats.

            Here is a NYT photo where the Nazis are trying to push out their car while defending themselves from a barrage of bottles and rocks. I was about ten feet from the guys throwing the rocks, and I was feeling pretty certain that I was going to get maced.

              Your children become what you model. It wasn't a coincidence that this happened to Nazis.

                According to the article:

                The boy and a younger sister had been the subject of a bitter custody battle with Mr. Hall’s first wife, with a series of allegations of abuse on each side. But Mr. Hall had eventually been granted legal custody.
                How bad does the wife have to be when the judge says "I think these children will be better off in a neo-Nazi environment."

                  I had the exact same thought and was going to post this.

                    We should just all agree it's desserts. Makes a lot more sense in our culture and vernacular. There's a nice irony to it too.
