Punk Band Pictures Of Sikh Temple Shooter Wade Michael Page Show Neo-Nazi Fascination

» 25 comments

After authorities confirmed that Wade Michael Page, 40, was the lone gunman in Sunday's tragic Sikh temple shooting in Oak Creek, Wisc., details began to leak about the shooter's past. One particularly interesting story is that he was the member of a white supremacist 'skinhead' punk group End Apathy, whose Myspace page confirms Page's involvement in the band (with pictures).

A 2006 posting by Page on BandMix.com ' a site used by aspiring musicians seeking other artists to join them ' seems to detail when he recruited a bassist and drummer for End Apathy. On the site, he reveals that he is also a member of bands Definite Hate and 13 Knots. The posting is based out of 'South Milwaukee, Wisconsin,' which neighbors the city of Oak Creek where the shootings took place.

Some of the images found on the BandMix and Myspace pages further confirm Page's neo-Nazism. The band's practice space was seemingly adorned with a variety of Nazi paraphernalia.

Below is a shot of Page playing guitar with what appears to be a replica of a flag with the German Eagle coat-of-arms used during the Nazi regime:

Another picture from the band's practice space shows a Nazi flag draped behind the drum kit:

Another heavily-discolored photo shows a Confederate flag in the practice space. While not necessarily an indicator of neo-Nazism, in this case the flag makes sense given many white supremacists' infatuation with antebellum slavery.

A 2010 interview Page gave to Label 56, a white supremacist music site, further reveals his dabbling with neo-Nazism. Page indicated he went to the Hammerfest 2000 in Georgia, which was an annual 'hate rock' festival organized by a skinhead group.

'That's when I joined Youngland,' he said. Slate's Dave Weigel reports that was a white power band with lyrics like: 'Stand one stand all, stand up, stand proud/and raise the white man's flag.'

• He was playing the theme song to Fox & Friends.

  The teabaggers lost another HERO .

• Gotta admit, this isn't looking very good for conservative America. He's flying one of their grand ol' confederate flags that they fight so hard to protect.

• Right wing worst nightmare. 

• tattoos
  nazi flags
  Hammerfest
  mom's basement.

  yup, he's a teabagger.

• Just wait for it''.some bagger gonna repeat for the millionth time the KKK is a dem/liberal monster and Neo-Nazis are liberals and Hitler was a liberal as well.

• Sounds like the right's equivalent of the left's anarchists.  Some people are drawn to anti social and destructive ideologies.  Very sad.

• agains christians kill americans'WE MUST PUNISH ALL CHRISTIAS AS WE DO MUSLIMS..

• You sound like your own hatred and prejudice is equal to his.  Hopefully you'll seek help before you hurt someone besides yourself.

•  No birther boy'..he's a white supremacist. There is no equivalent group on the left.

• Nazi's ' real ones ' are Democrats, not Republicans.

• Your thinking of Stalin and Mao, each of which murdered many millions.

•  Talk about another desperate comment from a wingnut this morning!! Get a grip Mr.Birther.
  Just simple denial of the creeps in your camp,

•  No, I'm thinking of you.

  Look, I do not want to sound like a buzzkill (poor pun, not intended) but lets all give it a
  rest.  6 people who were minding their own business were gunned down for no reason.  Politics, flame wars, and trolling is fun, but its sad when I see people I like on both sides get pulled into this stupid argument.  This isn't about you, your political beliefs and you or no religious or political institution are not the victim here.    I normally don't comment on topics such as these because this isn't (and shouldn't) be entertainment for the masses. Anybody using this to bring up political, social, or religious arguments is no different than masturbation.  So do yourself a favor and go outside, cherish your life, and if you need to get off go to a porn site. 

  Very very disappointing.

• And Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy were Democrats. Who cares?

• STOP RADICAL CHRISTIANITY'

• Stalker

• Weak, after responding to me you call me a stalker.
  Get a life birther boy.

• Damn,bro.

  Your ass must be hurting like hell right now,cause you just pulled a huge one out of it.

  Try not to sit down for a while.Hope you feel better soon.

• That degree of denial is as sick, or cowardly, as what this RIGHT WING psychopath believed and carried out.
  Naziism is a Right Wing Ideology

  Accept it.
  He's a right winger.
  He'd have voted against the Dems and Obama.

  He's a White Supremacist.
  Meaning he's not voting for the Kenyan or his mixed race party, (Which the Dems are as opposed to the overwhelmingly white GOP).

  His brand of intolerance and ignorant is what I'm greeted with here all the time.
  Not from lefties or Dems.
  But right wingers.

  Am I getting through?

  Rush has done y'all a disservice in training y'all to use Naziism as an epithet against the left.
  You own it.
  Deal with it.

  This killer was, once again, a right wing extremist.

  How many more before you can own  that fact?

  Most right wing slaughter kings come from right of center.
   

• Sure there are.  As an example, there are black separatists.  What do you call the Black Panthers?  Don't be so naive to think those groups are sterile.

• Yeah, the New Black Panthers'.all three of them!

• You're in denial.  And wrong, actually.  The Left are the nazi's.
