Anyone had any experiences with Neo Nazis?

In Hungary (again! - part of my blood is from there but I am ashamed there are so many lowlifes ruining things for all the good people that are there) in Salgotarian I went in to a Army Surplus in the shopping centre. I asked the shopkeeper about what supplies he kept - that must have been a magic keyword because he proceeded to a railed lock-up and showed me his collection of SS uniforms. " Human hair " he said, "These are made with human hair! ". He looked delighted. Then he broke out his collection of photos of him posing in all his nazi outfits - looking incredibly stupid also because he was fat and the buttons were about to pop off. He must have wet-moulded them to fit.
I felt very let down by it all

In Sydney the red laces indicated the skins who were down with National Front or ANM many assumed to be neo-nazis. There was a football field in St Leonard where the skins would play soccer every Sunday. Of course it attracted the wrong kind at times. My classmate who I sat next to was a skinhead. Typical kid with dc martens and He wore black laces. Because I was breakndancing in 1984 he gave me a tape of Run DMCs first album. This surprised me as he was into Peter and the Test Tube Babies, Anti-Pasti, Anti-Nowhere League, The Exploited...mostly UK bands. Though he did have some Two Tone logos drawn on his bag. He was just your normal skin who liked punk, ska and even early hip hop. Always wore the black bomber jacket with the red tartan inlay. Nice guy, not racist and harmless. Proper skinhead. But he warned me of the red laces idiots who were in National Front. And I think white laces meant white power or something like that. Most of my friends who were skinheads were into black music. Reggae, ska, rocksteady, soul, funk, hip hop. Its a much hijacked sub culture thet causes a lot of confusion.

I personally never had any altercations with the bad skins, but witnessed two events. Circa 85 or 86 in Martin Place, the kids were breakdancing and more than a dozen skinheads turned up. There was some slight agro and we were all copping grief from these idiots. After awhile the Bondi Boys turned up. As most of them were Islanders, we instantly knew these were the racist skins as they started spewing stupid antagonistic crap. Then all hell broke loose, but as was usually the case the skinheads basically fled once they were outnumbered by some burly Maoris.

A few months later I was at the 'writers bench' outside the Town Hall, when some red laced skins turned up having a go at some of the graffiti writers. Then one of the more crazier guys with us had the *beep* and pulled out a gurkha knife (???) from his backpack and started chasing 3 of them. We all followed and it kept going down into the railway station and onto the platforms. The 3 skins vanished and strangely enough there was never any more trouble. It must've looked pretty odd. A few years alter was in Newtown and someone pointed out to me a tall bespectacled older skinhead. He had an English accent and my friend said. 'Now there's an evil bastard'. Patrick Stewart's character in Green Room reminded me very much of this guy as that memory came right back into my head when he appeared. I can't remember the details of this English skin but he was a figurehead in the local scene or visiting from the UK and had a very calm demeanour unlike the rowdy mob around him. Then that scene seemed to dissipate. But the neo-nazi skinheads still exist in Australia. Groups like Blood & Honour and the SC Hammerskins. They even have a music festival celebrating Hitler's birthday on the Gold Coast.

This dramatic photo was taken earlier this year at a rally in Melbourne.

You hateful, fearful psychos probably think they should all be locked up forever. Forget the 1st Amendment. Just throw undesirables under the bus because you're afraid of their culture or how they think. That's exactly how the attack on Native Americans started.

Get off your soapbox while I play you a tune on the tiniest violin.

I've met plenty, all nice/cool dudes.

There was a few I knew around my town when I was a teenager a few year back now, they all grew out of it in the end and believe it or not none were violent and most where sorta nice... There was also anti racist skinheads around to and the nazi's and anti racist would hang around together in one big group that also included punks.goths,metal heads and other alternative types...

Point being it was a fad they didn't really mean it and all grew up in the end...



I am the son of a man named Tom.

Auckland punk scene evolved with Boot Boys in the e80s ,

i went to the DKs gig here in 84 when the most obnoxious non-leader took on Jello with some abuse - guess what tune they played in reply ? haha

when the early BBs all went to jail, that scene evolved into original Skins into classic/punk/mod/reggae Vs some SS skins,

i ended up after hitchhiking at a Taranaki cowshed mushroom-party with tripped out SS skins & punkmetallers , serious a'la Bar scene in the movie, luckyily i was hosted by some key peeps in the car so i was on the in ,

skin scene here petered out to regional cites , but all in jail by the m90s after a few heinous crimes in white Christchurch

NZ is too laid back , like were not hate filled americans,
and hey the Maori pub/ reggae / gang scenes are way bigger than the punk scene ever was

Once, years ago I had a party. Around early morning I looked outside and I saw 30-40 cops in riot gear, dogs, buses, paddy wagons, ambulances, the whole deal.

I thought they had come to bust my party, but apparently some nazi kid next door had a party too. He had somehow managed to cram 40 nazis into a one bedroom apartment. They had gotten drunk and rowdy and had been throwing bottles and people and tried to break into this gay guys apartment.

I saw the cops drag the little nazis one by one to the paddy wagon.

I checked the news and saw that media had dubbed it "nazi riot".

I saw a Confederate Hammerskin with his girlfriend (whose haircut was really similar to the girl's in this movie, except it was dyed red) in a Wal-Mart back in the early 90's. I followed him around and stared at him, hoping it'd provoke a fight (I hate Nazis and was a bit aggressive about that when I was younger), but since he didn't have the rest of his pack there, he acted nervous and left. Most of these Nazi idiots run unless there's half a dozen of them.
