Did the Nazi trailer trash assault two people because he felt like it? Or was it that he thought one of the victims was gay? Neo-Nazi stabbing: Did mistaken identity play a part in killing? by Camille Spencer St. Petersburg Times 03/26/06. Spencer reports:

Kristofer had been visiting the New Port Richey home of a friend, 18-year-old Brandon Wininger, who is Wells' son.

Wells' next-door neighbors have turned their property into a neo-Nazi outpost, and Wells said they had threatened her and others at her home. Pasco authorities reported being called repeatedly by Wells about threats and vandalism by the group, but found insufficient evidence for an arrest.

Charlene King said the fact that Wininger, 18, is gay and that Wells has black friends was the apparent motive, because the attacker thought Kristofer King was Wininger.

And notice the symbolism the killer favored:

After a SWAT team standoff, deputies arrested John A. Ditullio, 20, at the neo-Nazi compound, where swastikas and a Confederate flag flew.

On Friday, Ditullio told a Times reporter in a jailhouse interview that the man behind the attack was Shawn Plott, 33, a leader in the neo-Nazi group who was arrested Friday on two Pasco County warrants. (my emphasis)

A good story to remember the next time you hear someone claiming the Confederate battle flag stands for "heritage not hate".
