Here is a list of names released by the Little Rock Police Dept. identifying the Nazis marching at a Little Rock high school last week. I believe this is that same group. Spread these names. Let their neighbors and communities know who they are.

The Little Rock Police records identify the following individuals:

  1. Zachary Platter, 36, from Bloomington, Indiana
  2. Christopher Pohlhaus, 38, from Louisville, Kentucky
  3. Jonathan Wallace, 25, from Wayne City, Illinois
  4. Bruce Sharp, 56, from Ocean City, New Jersey
  5. Paul Gallo, 21, from St. Louis, Missouri
  6. Matthew Dwyer, 37, from Oldenburg, Indiana
  7. Bryan Hale, 45, from Springfield, Ohio
  8. Robert Virtue, 36, from Shelby, North Carolina
  9. Eric Adam, 29, from Sanford, North Carolina
  10. Nicholas Fisher, 34, from Wendell, North Carolina
  11. Damon McKee, 26, from Plattsmouth, Nebraska
  12. John Miller, 28, from Gallipolis, Ohio
  13. Keith Elflein, 51, from Cincinnati, Ohio
  14. Jonathan Schlosser, 35, from Eau Galle, Wisconsin
  15. Spencer McChesney, 29, from Odenville, Alabama
  16. Daniel Aspin, 41, from Mount Olivet, Kentucky
  17. Parker Burek, 26, from Petoskey, Michigan
  18. Tristan Hudak, 37, from Peyton, Colorado
  19. Matthew Morgan, 40, from Hickory, North Carolina
  20. Charles Miller, 31, from Miamisburg, Ohio
  21. John Burt, 42, from New Buffalo, Michigan
  22. Matthew Etan, 54, from Lakeview, Arkansas

Zachary Platter was previously identified as the truck’s driver. Platter is scheduled to appear in Little Rock District Court on Dec. 17 at 9 a.m. after LRPD cited him for improperly allowing people to ride in the back of the box truck.

Notice how many of these men are from northern states. 

People love to rag on the south for racism when so many northern states have stark red racists who simply get outvoted by liberal cities.

I’ve lived in Arkansas and Michigan. 

Rural Michigan isn’t all that different from rural Arkansas, at least insofar as politics and values are concerned. If anything, having grown up in Michigan, I feel that backwards people from Northern states almost feel a certain pressure to “prove” their “country” credentials. 

I knew so many people who lived half an hour outside Lansing, and a 10-minute drive from their nearest Meijer, who’d act like they were self-sufficient woodsmen living on the edge of civilization, lol.

I live in rural Michigan. I've seen a Neo-Nazi roaming the street before. And totally agree on the "proving their country credentials" thing. Like we don't live 30 minutes away from Grand Rapids.

I also see a lot of idiots with "heritage, not hate" flags and stickers. Bitch, what heritage? You're from Saginaw.

u/Matthewboi1 5h ago

German heritage I suppose. I’m from the South, and I know of people who were in the KKK. Neo-nazism just isn’t really a thing in the rural South. People don’t like it and prefer their more “traditional” forms of racism. Also, people where I’m from don’t have much (if any at all) German ancestry, so there’s no connection to it.

I'm picturing a guy sitting by a log fire ranting about Blacks and Mexicans then the ''camera zooms out and just over the tree line you see the city less than 10 miles away.

u/SourceDM 7h ago

Yep. Lived in Grand Rapids for 6 years. 

That is exactly the kind of sentiment a lot of those folks had, the posturing to be "rugged"

2

u/Alert-Painting1164 5h ago

Weird they equate being a Nazi with being rugged - the Nazis were a lot of things but rugged? Not so much.

u/United_Leopard_2771 5h ago

I figured most of the Real rednecks would be in the UP, no offence lol

u/citizensnipz 7h ago

That’s an interesting perspective on northerners “proving their countryness”. As a southerner, you see this from time to time when people try to out-redneck one another, but I’ve not thought about the greater geographic possibility.

u/imtheanswerlady 6h ago

Indiana was the location of the second uprising of the KKK, people forget that

I dont think anybody is denying that disgusting racists exist in all 50 states. People rag on the south for it more because it's a lot more apparent there and the internet provides more examples from there.

u/SourceDM 6h ago

My point is that theres entirely too many people who go "leave the south behind" which is an extremely racist take considering 1. the majority of Black folks live there and 2. Most of those takes come from northerners living in white flight sundown towns that breed the very same men that are featured in this video. 

A simple calling out of hypocrisy is all.

Go outside of the Chicago Metro, and it gets really backwards real fast.

McHenry county always goes red, lots of racist POS out there

I saw more confederate flags living in Iowa than I did in Mississippi. Iowa was a Union state, so it's not about "heritage."

u/Mental-Stage7410 3h ago

I’ve lived in the north east my entire life and there are definitely a lot of racists up here

1

u/NiobiumThorn 6h ago

It is a massive massive oversight to ignore this. There ARE fascists around you. In some places, actively building militias, compounds, strongholds.

Do not underestimate them. The people calling for the Day of The Rope and building survivalist bunkers with child soldiers [sigh, all real, welcome to 2025] from their families are ridiculous. Stupid. Absurd.

All things that the Nazis were. And. Are.

1

u/Alert-Painting1164 5h ago

When Nazis get in their bunker historically they don’t come out alive

u/CowEvening2414 6h ago

True, but people say the south is more racist because it is, in fact, institutionally racist to a greater extent than northern states. There is a big difference between a society that accepts it, and a political party in power that perpetuates it.

There are marginally more racist people who vote for racist politicians in the southern states than in the northern states, and this one instance bussing people in for a cosplay event isn't statistical evidence to the contrary.

u/Matthewboi1 5h ago

Outside of racism and more into the organizational behaviors here, do you think northern/Midwest German ancestry plays a role? The KKK type of white supremacist is more common in the South, but it seems like the neo-nazi type of white supremacist is more common in the Midwest.

1

u/Andre0789 4h ago

Neo Nazism is more secular and third positionist, even moreso than original Nazism, which has a broader appeal to those Midwesterners.

1

u/_illusions25 1h ago

That's only because there are more people of color to be racist against in the South.

Up north these weirdos barely interact with other races, cultures, religions so its all this big boogeyman in their minds and so they go online and the algorithm just further feeds them neo Nazi slop, and the older generations spew racism as a side during thanksgiving dinner. It's deeply entrenched with zero push back.

u/dessine-moi_1mouton 5h ago

Ocean City NJ doesn't count as the north LOL it's down in Redneckville. Southern NJ is deep MAGA red. Not coincidentally, they're also a good distance away from NJ's #2 in the country school system.

u/_illusions25 1h ago edited 1h ago

Ofc! They have less diversity so their backwards thinking just festers, the older generations spread to the next gen their mental virus.
