update on Warwick High race incident: gun threat, Stormfront involvement...
School officials in Lancaster, Pennsylvania have identified 12 students who belong to a self-styled racist clique that has been instigating trouble recently. From Lancaster Online:

Several students, whom other Warwick students identified as having been among those involved in Wednesday's incident, maintain MySpace pages on the Internet, where they boast about their trucks and talk of "redneck row," the area in the student parking lot where they park and hang out.

On one 17-year-old student's page, a friend commented Oct. 4, the day of the incident: "hey man that was bullshit this morning but it was kinda funny i think you scared the shit out of that cop."

One 17-year-old Lititz youth, who on his MySpace page identifies himself as a Warwick student, has a history of posting to Stormfront.org, a white supremacist Web site owned by former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard Don Black. There is no confirmation that the student was involved in Wednesday's incident.

Tuesday, the student posted a message to the site: "all my friends have Rebel flags mounted on there truck beds now. It's funny as hell seeing them pull in, and hearing the handful of black kids at my school yell at them. You just got to give it right back to them."

The user also maintains a site on MySpace that has a picture of himself holding what appears to be a shotgun with the caption "border hoppers beware."



Of the school's more than 1,500 students, only about 20 are black.


I've suspected for a while now that this recent outbreak of incidents of this sort is not just a series of coincidences. I think it's calculated, and I think it has direction. From someone other than the mere dumb-bunny locals who start the fights and get their names in the paper.

1. Well I wouldn't be surprised if Stormwatch or some similar organization
is setting them up. They obviously have the motive to create these kinds of incidents. Is that what you were thinking? Or someone higher up?

5. Your closing comments say that you think someone is coordinating this sort of violence
Who do you think is doing it?

4. One of the supremacists websites was asking their
supporters to hang nooses, etc. and to report back to the web about their success.

2. These coward freaks only thrive
when they have minorities outnumbered 100-1.
That Lancaster County gene pool is about a half-inch deep.

8. I'm a Warwick High Alumni
Edited on Mon Oct-08-07 12:31 PM by thecorrection
I moved from Kansas City, MO to Lititz, PA in '84. I went from being the minority in most of my classes in MO to being among a sea of like faces, in other words, when I went to school at Warwick and graduated, the only "minorities" were white Menonites. I'm also kinda surprised at the attitude shown by these kids. Though the school wasn't racially diverse when I went between 85-89, there wasn't this level of hatred towards anyone.

On another note about the area and the idea that "someone put them up to this," not 15 minutes down the road is a town called Ephrata and growing up it was known to be the headquarters for the local KKK. Not surprising that attitude would be displayed in that neck of the woods, it is, however surprising that the Lititz community would support this but I haven't lived there for well over 4 years now so times change I guess. Sad.
