‘I shot dad’: The tragic case of a child who killed his abusive, neo-Nazi father

Jeffrey Hall was unequivocal about what he wanted.

“I want a white nation,” he once told the Los Angeles Times. “I don’t hide what I am, and I don’t water that down.”

An unemployed plumber who used to patrol the U.S.-Mexico border looking for illegal immigrants, Hall was a rising star among white supremacists.

He would often speak at rallies, promoting the goals of the National Socialist Movement, the largest neo-Nazi organization in the country, with 46 chapters in 20 states. In a YouTube video of a 2009 anti-immigration rally in Southern California, Hall, the National Socialist Movement’s regional director there, is seen holding a megaphone with a smiling Hitler emoji sticker on it as he proclaims the need for “white immigration” and a “pro-white” America.

But Hall’s rise in the movement ended abruptly. He died in May 2011, when he was shot at point-blank range while sleeping on his living room couch.

Woman held captive for 18 years CAN'T sue government for failing to supervise kidnapper on parole

Jaycee Dugard was just 11 when she was abducted in 1991

A woman who was kidnapped and help captive for 18 years by a convicted sex offender cannot sue the US government for failing to properly supervise him on parole, a court has ruled.

Jaycee Dugard was just 11 when she was snatched near to her California home by Phillip Garrido, who kept her prisoner in a warren of sheds and tents in his backyard.

She was repeatedly raped and gave birth to two daughters in captivity in the northern California community of Antioch.

Dugard's plight was eventually revealed in 2009 when Garrido brought her and her children to a parole office that had been contacted by police at the University of California, Berkeley, who had become suspicious of him.

Man who threw boiling water on gay couple will spend 40 years in prison

A jury has convicted an Atlanta truck driver accused of pouring boiling water over two gay men as the couple slept in February.

The jury deliberated for about 90 minutes Wednesday before finding Martin Blackwell guilty of eight counts of aggravated battery and two counts of aggravated assault, according to the Associated Press.

Blackwell was sentenced to 40 years in prison.

The 48-year-old wasn’t charged with a hate crime because Georgia is one of five states that do not have hate crime statutes. An FBI spokesman told Reuters that federal investigators are considering whether to charge Blackwell with a federal hate crime.
