Domesticity and Radicalism Clash in a Neo-Nazi Home

This is the home where 10 year old boy killed his father.

The first time I met Jeff Hall, I felt surrounded.

The occasion was a rally in Claremont, Calif., and I had come to Mr. Hall’s house, the headquarters of the Southern California chapter of the National Socialist Movement, to rendezvous before the event. I stepped out of a rental car and into a crowd of about two dozen followers of Mr. Hall, the chapter’s leader, milling about in front of his suburban home in Riverside, Calif.

There was wariness on both sides, of course; I was a reporter, and much of the N.S.M.’s press coverage — not surprisingly — has been unflattering. At one point, a member pointedly asked about my ethnic background, but was appeased when I mentioned that my grandmother was of German stock. And the appearance of the movement’s members can be just as intimidating: Long derided as “Hollywood Nazis” for their fondness for old-school Nazi regalia, the group had in recent years adopted a more modern look: black jackets, pants and boots.

And on this March morning, many of the N.S.M. supporters looked the part, right down to the 14 pairs of lace holes on their boots, symbolic of the 14 Words, a neo-Nazi slogan (“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”). There were tattoos of swastikas and skulls on several members’ arms and shaved heads, while others wore T-shirts with gun sights, “White Power” and the word “Skinhead” — spelled in Viking runes.

Is the best argument against their own ideology. If this bunch is "the master race" of humankind, then I'm joinin' the orangutangs.
