John was killed in 1995.
There were four skinheads in the group that assaulted battered and murdered him. Two of them, the youngest (15) and the oldest (18) supposedly carried out most of the torture, the second participated in the first wave of torture but allegedly not in the beating that led to John’s death. It was never established whether the fourth skin actually participated or “only” cheered his comrades on.
The 15 year old and 18 year old skinheads were found guilty of the Swedish equivalent murder in the first degree. They were given sentences of 5 and 6 years prison respectively. Prison sentences are generally very low in Sweden and the maximum possible sentence for murder for an adult would be 8 years. Even if the 5-year sentence would usually be considered severe given that the accused was just barely of criminal adult age, both sentences stirred outrage in Sweden at the time since the court did not find that it was proven beyond reasonable doubt that this was a hate crime, which would have warranted maximum sentences.
Skinhead number three was found guilty of aggravated assault, aggravated robbery (he stole John’s money) and kidnapping. He got community service.
The fourth, also 18 years old was accused of failure to report a sever crime, but his case never made it to trial since the judges threw it out on technical grounds.
In all cases it being 2002 both of the two murderers condemned to prison are free and as far as I know they are walking the streets somewhere in Southern Sweden as I type this.
Remember John Hron, remember that he wasn’t the first one, ponder that as long as the Aryan Nation cooks spread their psychobabble bullshit he won’t be the last one. That’s what you have to debate them on, that is what lays behind their facts, nothing else. Unmitigated anger. Paranoid fear. Irrational hatred. Social angst and feelings of being disenfranchised and alienated.
On that note: Sionnach and Halogen; do you realize that through your spreading your ideology you contribute and support actions like John Hron’s murder. I rarely accuse people of being guilty by association, but in my book you are guilty of supporting John’s murder. I know you disagree, but think about it for a while…
Just consider how it all happened, where these psychos got their ideas from and why they specifically went after John. Go here look at John’s face. If you have the guts, go to the linked police reports and look at the autopsy pictures to see what that young boy looked like after your like was done with him.
Ponder that he would have been a 21 year old man today if your brethren hadn’t ended his life. Ponder that he is dead only because your ilk didn’t like his ethnicity and the fact that he argued against your ideology of intolerance and hatred. Ponder that he was just as Swedish and just as white as his killers although some pamphlet from Nordiska Rikspartiet (the Swedish neo-Nazi party) or Storm (Swedish neo-Nazi fanzine) had made these idiots believe that Slavs aren’t ‘real whites’ and immigrant scum. When you go to bed tonight think of John Hron, think of his killers, think of the fact that they might be one of your internet pals and every time you help spread another one of your sick lies you might be adding that extra measure of mental nitro to one of your fellow neo-Nazis, which will make him explode and kill another innocent person like John Hron.
Hah! The murder of John Hron was White Nationalist on white innocent crime. Again, have a look at his picture. It was a hate crime executed by people you agree with against a person you claim you want to protect from other ‘races’. John was white - get it - white as in pale skin as in of completely European stock as you would put it. Incidentally his mother is Swedish and his father isn’t even Slavic, he is from Bohemian German Czech family - which only adds another sad ironic twist to it all.
Further Sionnach, what about the questions I asked you at the end of the original thread? Are you going to answer them?
