Some time ago, an American neo-Nazi named
William (Bill) White called for the murder of
Richard Warman owing to Mr. Warman's active campaign against racism in Canada. White published Warman's home address and place of work. He suggested methods by which an individual could kill Mr. Warman in the most graphic manner possible.
Warman
filed a complaint about White's website, Overthrow.com, with the CRTC. Unfortunately, the CRTC claimed they couldn't do anything because White and his website were both based in the United States and beyond the reach of their mandate (evidently blocking a website advocating the murder of a Canadian citizen didn't occur to them).
White thought he was untouchable and acted accordingly. However, chickens came home to roost in October 2008 when White was arrested on federal charges by the FBI. According to news reports and court papers, White's arrest was based primarily on recent online threats against a member of the jury that convicted the
Creativity Movement's leader
Matt Hale off incitement to murder. Additional information in court papers indicate that White's arrest was also based on an article suggesting the assassination of president-elect Barak Obama, as well as threats made towards a certain Canadian lawyer in Ontario (
see pages 10 and 11 of 24).
