Ex-skinhead gets extensive surgery to remove racist face tattoos
>Bryon Widner used to be a white supremacist. When Widner left the movement in 2006, he had a lot to work past to prove that he no longer believed the things he once did — much of it on his own face.
>“This wasn’t just a few tattoos,” noted plastic surgeon Dr. Bruce Shack. “This was an entire canvas.” Widner had to fight hard to get these tattoos removed and get on with his life, turning former enemies into allies and working with the Southern Poverty Law Center.
>An anonymous donor paid for the changes to his face (which were incredibly painful), but he paid even bigger price for the changes to his life. After years of being an "enforcer" for the Vinlanders Social Club, a notable white supremacist group, he quit. He had to leave his Michigan home to get a sense of normalcy. He went for it for his kids, and for his wife, and to get a second chance. Now, as you can see, the tattoos are gone. He suffers health issues (he has to stay out of the sun), but he says "it's a small price to pay for being human again." An impressive redemption story.
>Widner was the founder of a white supremacist gang of skinheads - but after getting married and becoming a father in 2006, he was determined to put his racist past behind him. Unfortunately, the ever-present tattoos on his face and body made it hard for him to fit into society. People saw a menacing thug, not a loving father, the Associated Press reports.
>Widner's wife, Julie Larsen, is also a former founding member of the white power movement - but she's the one who motivated her husband to rid himself of his racist appearance. Together, the couple scoured the Internet trying to learn how to safely remove facial tattoos - but such tattoos are extremely rare, and few doctors have performed such complicated surgery. The couple also couldn't afford the procedure - so Widner investigated homemade recipes.
>"I was totally prepared to douse my face in acid," he said.
>NPCs are people I think are icky That's not how it works, pine gap

Widner and his wife have thrown out everything to do with their racist past. Only a few trusted friends and family members know where they live. They say they feel safe, with police officers and firefighters nearby, but still can't help but worry - it's one thing to get out of the white power movement and fade into obscurity. It's another to publicly denounce the violent world they once inhabited. But Widner holds out hope that some angry young teenager on the verge of becoming a skinhead might see his suffering and think twice.
>racist face tattoos Ummm okay, so like just random shapes and shit. *makes White supracist Aokkkay hand motion*

I'm not exactly a symbologist, but other than possibly the upturned arrow over the eye, what exactly is white supremacist about the tattoos? Brambles and barbed wire aren't exactly exclusive to 1933 Berlin. Maybe it's the Super Smash Brothers logo and the suspiciously crossed F.
hmm, now I wonder where we've seen the tactic of consolidating pro-white sentiments only to drop them and leave them hanging in disarray before seems to me like another person who made a group with the intention of destroying it as a dissuasion tactic
Is that a Khorne symbol on the left side of his neck?
Jack Hill

You mean after years of 3rd shift janitor jobs at truck-stops, and under-the-table fruit picking, the man decided that he wasn't cut out for being the first guy every drunk in the bar wanted to fight?

No character, no integrity. Stand up for your beliefs.

How many facial tattoos you carrying around Cletus the Third?

Neonazism is unironically the most jewish thing you can do.
No seriously most neonazis during the 1970's had many jews funding and running it.
Owen Russell
it seems to me he traded in his character controls awhile back. Good, we don't need LARPers. We need serious people with revolutionary discipline. Guaranteed when he's picking out school districts he'll make the same choice he would have made 12 years ago.
Should have never got this ugly shit in the first place, what a joke. Oh yeah you're totally welcome on the ethnostate you fucking tattooed freak lmfao.

>white supremacists >blacks over swathes of his skin
And what is it with these faggots calling themselves neo-Nazis? No Nazi would accept degeneracy like tattoos and they were stylish dressers, they didn't actually dress like yobboes.

There's a line in one of the Murdoch Murdochs, something like 'falling into the stereotype our enemies have created of us'. If you wanted to discredit something, making them into tattooed yob neaderthals is a sure way.
Joshua Adams
nah it’s 100% real, i saw some shit on tv about this asshole 10 years ago, the guy is a pussy and you might be able to find a video on the internet of it but im not gonna do that shit for you, i dont even like pressing my shift button
Brody Green
Just american italian things
Elijah Ramirez
>Look at me, I believe in National Socialism >That's why I put tattoos all over my face American "Nazis" just don't understand even the most basic parts of the ideology. This is also the reason why so many of there morons switch sides and become anti-Nazi shills. These faggots only joined for validation from their peers in the first place.
Joseph Flores
(((Murdoch Murdoch))) (no seriously Murdoch is a jewish name)
They fall into the same stereotype, the gay alt-righter stereotype. I don't know how can any of you unironically like that poorly animated power fantasy shit.
>the Southern Poverty Law Center Isn't this a scam?
Colton Cruz
You know what I love, these dumbshits subscribe to the left's/(((their))) version of Nazi which is entirely false.

Stop there. The guy is clearly a Jew plant working for the SPLC. When he was down acting as an agent provacateur the SPLC got a little more mileage out of him by setting up the claim that he was a former hater who now loves all races and in return the SPLC took off his tattoos. This guy tried for many years to infiltrate far-right groups. But no one ever let him in.
