Sam Woodward, former member of Atomwaffen Division, was arrested in 2018 for murder of gay, Jewish pre-med student
Six years after his arrest, a former member of the Atomwaffen Division will face trial in a southern California courtroom over the killing of his former high school classmate – a murder that rocketed the neo-Nazi group to international notoriety and highlighted the wave of violence by far-right American extremists during the presidency of Donald Trump.
Sam Woodward was arrested on 15 January 2018 and charged with the murder of Blaze Bernstein, a former fellow student at the Orange County School of the Arts. Bernstein, a gay and Jewish pre-med student, had been missing for a week before his body was discovered in a shallow grave.
On the night of 10 January 2018, the two men met at Borrego Park in the Orange county city of Lake Forest, according to Orange county sheriff’s reports. Bernstein was home from the University of Pennsylvania on winter break, and re-established contact with his former high school classmate through Tinder, where the two had previously connected.
Bernstein did not hide his identity as a gay man. Although Woodward was not open about his, while in high school he made passes at more than one of his male classmates, according to reporting in Mother Jones.
Bernstein’s body was found with 19 stab wounds. Investigators’ attention quickly turned to Woodward, the well-off son of an observant, conservative Catholic family from Newport Beach.
No. The Constitution protects citizen and non citizen alike or it wouldn’t be of use if it didn’t.
What?
The entry into the country by visa is a privilege. It’s not a right of foreign citizens. You can be granted a visa and deported at the border if you don’t have a valid reason for entry into the country
Why are you insisting they’re not citizens.
And no you cannot be deported from this country for speech alone unless its unlawful threats towards someone like the president. Outside of that you can’t be deported for speech, its the literal definition of free speech. What you’re talking about is fascist shit.
Okay, let’s settle for not approving their next visa application then? Having your visa application accepted is not a right
That’s. The. Same. Thing.
Move countries of you want fascism.
So you’re not intolerant of intolerance, in fact you’re quite tolerant of anti-Semitism
I don’t like bigots and I don’t like fascists, read that how you please. Though I will point out that I haven’t made a single comment about anything semitic.
Great, what do you suggest we do about bigots?
You specifically I would request you think before you speak.
