The BBC has confronted a neo-Nazi in Finland who shared online instructions on how to commit arson with UK rioters during the summer.
The 20-year-old was an administrator in the Southport Wake Up group on the Telegram messaging app, where he was known as “Mr AG”. He posted the arson manual, which was pinned to the top of the group chat.
In late July and early August, the group was key in helping to organise and provoke protests that turned to violence in England and Northern Ireland.
We tracked Mr AG - whose real name is Charles-Emmanuel Mikko Rasanen - to an apartment on the outskirts of the Finnish capital, Helsinki.
It was from here, more than 1,000 miles away from Southport, that the neo-Nazi took a prominent online role during the UK riots.
…
“What we have here is a case of a young man sitting behind his keyboard in a different country starting racist violence in Britain,” they say. “It exposes the transnational nature of the far-right in the world today.”

So either he’s what he claims to be - a brown-skinned White Supremacist - or he’s a russian disinfo troll working out of next-door Finland. Both are possible, I guess.
The disease of social media is so easily solved, it’s rigorous insanity we still read these kind of current news articles.
Am I crazy or does that guy look not white? The irony is too much. Also lmfao at him immediately calling the cops
My man, you’re living in a world where an American politician just got exposed calling himself a “black Nazi” in a porn site’s comment section.
Nuh uh! That was skynet time traveling that put them there! /s
My uncle is half Mexican, does not look full white, and gave himself a swastika tattoo
People can grow up to be real fucking crazy
I’m starting to think this whole nazism thing isn’t fully thought out
It almost seems like you never heard of Clayton Bigsby?
Nope, I love Chappelle’s show. 20 some odd years later and I still find it astounding.
They’re not sending their best and brightest folks. And some I assume are good people, but…
I’m assuming that’s the reporter calling to confront the man about his actions. I googled the guys name and it popped up with a picture of a white guy.
I thought the same initially but if my above theory is correct, they made a terrible choice for the article photo.
I dunno, based on the snippet below I assumed that’s a shot of him calling for the cops to save him from the meany journalists trying to stifle his freeze peach
Before we left him, he also accused the BBC of harassment and rang the police.
It’s him in the picture. Above commentor is wrong

Thanks for confirming. I still can’t come to grips with how astonishingly common this kind of story is. They ain’t letting you into the club, dude!
I searched for the name as well, and the only white dude in their twenties that showed up was Mikko Räsänen, a handball player.
Edit: But I found this article: https://redflare.info/articles/mrag-mixed-race-finnish-neo-nazi-behind-uks-race-riots/
