David Lynch Killed: Skinhead Leader Murdered In California Home

CITRUS HEIGHTS, Calif. — Authorities say a leading white supremacist known for organizing skinhead groups has been fatally shot at his Northern California home.

Police near Sacramento say they arrived at the Citrus Heights home early Wednesday to find 40-year-old David Lynch shot dead with wounds to his head and upper torso. A woman also had been shot in the leg.

Lynch was a founder of the white nationalist group American Front. The Southern Poverty Law Center, a hate group watchdog, says Lynch began working as a racist skinhead organizer in the 1980s. The center says the movement had recently become re-energized under his leadership.

The Sacramento County coroner's office confirmed the identity of the victim Thursday.

"A woman also had been shot in the leg." Is she alive. Has she been able to identify who shot them? Was it a rival group?

This happened on Wednesday, we possibly have a living witness, and this is the entire story?

I guess the Teabaggers, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann & Fox News will be a memorial service in his honor.

Political assassinations can have huge consequences. He could have been whacked by his own: he could have been whacked by enemies. The guy is gone. The tendency towards equal reciprocity could be devastating. Mutual targeting among opposing political parties was one of the causes of the Spanish Civil War. We can work around that and solve our issues w/out the guns.

Christ would be mortified at the lack of love and compassion on display in these comment. That is of course if there ever was a Christ.

Though I rarely wish ill will on anyone, sometimes a non-biological solution for these types of problems is best. I doubt he will be missed..............

Wow, what brilliant logic. You're upset that he wishes violence on those he disagrees with, so your answer is to wish him violence. Genius.
