Nazi William A. (“Bill”) White was the leader of a Nazi, white supremacist web site called “overthrow.com.” White supremacists and Nazi supporters have had mixed reactions to Bill White.

Media reports on Bill White’s sentencing: — Roanoke Times reports: “Neo-Nazi is handed 2.5 years for threats”
— William A. White senteneced to 2 1/2 years in prison “for using the Internet, e-mail and the telephone to threaten strangers who didn’t share his racist views”
— Roanake Times states: “It was an uncharacteristic finale for a prolific and venomous commentator who once bragged that millions read him on overthrow.com, the now-defunct Web site that was the mouthpiece of his Roanoke-based white supremacy organization.”
— “The prison term locks away White, 32, for a period at the upper end of federal sentencing guidelines. Turk said he rarely imposes such a term but said he did so because of the fear White instilled in many of his victims.” — Complete trial coverage by Roanoke Times
— UPI: Neo-Nazi sentenced for threats — UPI reports: “White was convicted in December of threatening people in Missouri, Delaware and Virginia Beach, using his Web site, e-mail and telephone to harass and threaten his victims — strangers to him and to one another — who unknowingly said or did something to anger the neo-Nazi activist, the Times reported.”
— News Journal Online on Flagler County KKK flier distribution: “When the Ku Klux Klan wants new recruits for its hooded robes, it likes to toss fliers on driveways, according to a researcher who tracks the group.”
— “And finding the Klan’s leaflets on driveways often means a member of the Klan doesn’t live too far from the neighborhood, said Heidi Beirich, director of research with the Southern Poverty Law Center.”
— “‘They tend to do this residential stuff with some frequency, hate groups do, and it usually means that there’s somebody in the hate group that lives near there,’ Beirich said.”
— “Flagler County is crafting a condemnation of the Klan fliers, which were recently dropped on driveways in the R, U and Z neighborhoods of Palm Coast, according to a sheriff’s report. “

Police Oracle: “Milkman Accused Of Terrorism”
— Police Oracle: “White supremacist father and son plotted terror attacks, court hears. Nicky Davison, 19, joined his father in the creation of Aryan Strike Force, a website demonstrating an apparent obsession with Zionist domination, a jury at Newcastle crown court was told. Computers seized in a police raid on a house in Annfield Plain, County Durham, last year yielded data showing that “ops” involving bombs were in the early stage of planning.”
— “Ian Davison has already pleaded guilty to preparing for acts of terrorism and producing a chemical weapon, using homemade ricin. The poison extracted from castor beans is deadly and has been at the centre of several terrorism scares.”
— “Nicky Davison denies three charges of possessing material useful to a terrorist while helping to run the Aryan Strike Force website. The jury was told that the group had been established in January 2008 and at the time of the police raid last June was ‘in the early stages of becoming active'”
— “The website was not merely a propaganda vehicle for supporters, who also called themselves the Wolfpack and Legion 88. It showed interest in “violence in different forms to advance the aims of white supremacy in these islands”.
— “Shortly before the raid, Nicky Davison had posted messages on the site saying he was ‘concerned about the risk of detection and arrest”. His on-screen name, Thorburn1488, was an obscure code relating to the work of an American white supremacist and shorthand for ‘Heil Hitler'”
— Prosecutor Andrew Elis: “They wanted to resist what they called ZOG, which stood for Zionist-occupied government. They were fighting against the government because they believed it has been taken over by Jews, so it had to be resisted by those interested in white supremacy.”
— London Times: “Teenager in white supremacist group plotted to overthrow Government” — “A teenage former milkman helped his father to run a white supremacist movement that plotted to overthrow the Government, a court was told yesterday.”
— “Police also discovered copies of The Anarchist’s Cookbook and the Mujahideen Explosives Handbook, along with several other digitalised manuals on a computer at the home Nicky Davison shared with his mother and younger brother in Co Durham.”
— “The teenager is accused of helping to maintain the Aryan Strike Force website, which declared its mission ‘to bring all national socialists, nationalists, racists and fascist together or people who consider themselves national socialists.'”
UK Guardian: White supremacist father and son plotted terror attacks, court hears — “Shortly before the raid, Nicky Davison had posted messages on the site saying he was ‘concerned about the risk of detection and arrest’. His on-screen name, Thorburn1488, was an obscure code relating to the work of an American white supremacist and shorthand for ‘Heil Hitler'”
— “Davison and his father, Ian, 41, were not simply ‘keyboard warriors’, said Andrew Edis, prosecuting. “They made a distinction between people who were associated with the group they were forming – who were just supporters who might hand out leaflets – and members, who were to be of a different category, more interested in action,’ he said.”
