VNN's Alex Linder

In the aftermath of the fatal shooting of three people at two Jewish community centers last weekend, one voice has been absent on the online racist message board (VNN), where the alleged killer 鈥� its loquacious founder.

Neo-Nazi has earned himself quite the reputation as the foul-mouthed operator of VNN. But in the aftermath of Sunday鈥檚 killing rampage in Kansas, believed to have been committed by his friend and confidant Frazier Glenn Miller (aka Frazier Glenn Cross), Linder 鈥� who rarely lets a day pass without posting some racist screed 鈥� was stone silent.

It was a rare moment that led to wild speculation. Some of his fellow racists wondered if Linder was paralyzed with shock, while others thought he was keeping quiet under legal advice, or even cooperating with federal investigators putting together the details and motives of Miller鈥檚 decision to walk into the Jewish Community Center and a Jewish retirement home in Overland Park, Kan., and open fire.

In his first posts after breaking his silence, Linder gave no weight to any of those ideas. He claimed to have been quiet about the shootings because his cable went out for days, then cautioned other white nationalists to be careful what they post on VNN, as people would be watching as they dug through Miller鈥檚 . After all, Miller has been one of Linder鈥檚 closest confidants for years and worked as a national distributor for Linder鈥檚 鈥淭he Aryan Alternative,鈥� VNN鈥檚 caustic, racist newsletter.

Linder contorted himself to protect Miller, who went by 鈥淩ounder鈥� on VNN and posted thousands of racist messages over the years as a 鈥渟enior member.鈥� In Linder鈥檚 callous assessment of the tragedy, Cross had just had too much to drink, and just maybe, he suggested, the Jews 鈥� whom he labeled 鈥渟warthy, hairy, bow-legged, beady-eyed, parasitic midgets鈥� 鈥� had it coming.

鈥淚t appears to me that Rounder acted on the spur of the moment. When you鈥檙e drunk, your inhibitions drop,鈥� Linder wrote. But that wasn鈥檛 enough. There had to be someone, or something, responsible for what Cross did that day. It wasn鈥檛 Linder, and it certainly wasn鈥檛 VNN. 鈥淲ho鈥檚 to blame here?鈥� Linder asked. 鈥淛ews. Alone.鈥�

鈥淚'm afraid jews [sic] must take responsibility for Rounder's completely logical and completely justified hatred of them, too, for they murdered tens of millions of our folk last century, and are now embarked on a global campaign to bring about white genocide,鈥� Linder wrote in another post that is one of many since he broke his silence. 鈥淲hen you do that, well, you have to expect a little blowback."

Blowback? That 鈥渂lowback鈥� was the death of three innocent people, as Reat Griffin Underwood, 14, and the boy鈥檚 grandfather, William Lewis Corporon, 69, both killed at the community center. The third victim, killed at the retirement center, was Terri LaManno, a 53-year-old occupational therapist visiting her mother.

Miller is not the first VNN user to . And a just released by the 澳彩开奖 found that users of another racist forum, Stormfront, have murdered nearly 100 people in the last five years. One of those users was Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in 2011, most of whom were teenagers at a summer camp.

But even for that that, Linder had praise. To a fellow commenter, he boldly wrote, 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 like [Breivik] because he erased a bunch of commie punks, and you used to be one. But I hate commie punks, and I have suffered in school from precisely the type he shot, and so I supported him.鈥�
