Skinheads
Continued from page 7
r riday night in Napa was Prom
NighL 1 nsicacfiof c lean-cui leenagen with
shaved skulls and Nazi insigmas on their
jackets, the local 24 - hour coffee shop was
filled with clean-cut teenagers wearing
tuxedos and expensive dresses and the
problems at hand seemed far away for the
rnomenL
Some local "punks" also found then-
way into ihe coffee shop. As threatening
as leddy bears, they groped their way
around lhe skinhead issue. They said
ihey 11 kill all the black people, man,"���one youth with bleached blond dreadlocks
said. That sucks." They talked about
how everything would be different alter
the "revolution," the proletarian uprising
thai was going to come along and sweep
all problems of race and hatred under die
rug.
One teen in a slevelcss denim jacket
wearing an "anarchy" button said he
would "like to live in a giant habitrail,"
which his friends agreed would be "totally
cool." .
Earlier, along Highway 12 by the rally
sue, "No Parking" signs pul up by Napa
and Solano counties stretched a mile in
either direction of the county line. The
only skinhead to be found in the area was
spotted starting up a Harley-Davidson
motorcycle at the 12-29 junction, wearing

toward Vailejo.
The local press had clearly
overestimated things. Rumors flew
rapidly in the waning hours before the
evenL There would be 200 KKK
members showing up to fight with 500
JDL members, with whom Irv Rubin had
vowed "to die if I have to." The Hell's
Angels were on Iheir way. or were already
here, depending on who you asked and lhe
Guardian Angels would come up 200-
strong from LA. Talk of 1.500-2.000
"freelance* skats abounded, but, bearing
no mvitaooos from WAR, where would
mis small army stay? Why were there no
signs of ihem so far?
All of Ihis was rumored, in addilion io
the widely reported 1,000 S.F.
ocmonsrraiors. 430 police officers
("We've got I (XX) available if
neccessary." according to Napa Sheriffs
DepL Cape Richard Lonergan) and the
huge horde of journalists who would
cover every angle, sometimes twice.
In ihe quiet hours before dawn, some
observers started io wonder if a few
people had set of f to kill a gnat with an
elephant gun.
Just before 5 a.m., about a dozen local
and stale police set aside their coffee and
breakfast at the coffee shop and took off
at high-speed towards an unknown
destination with a very well-known
purpose.
Ex
yxpectations were lowering in lhe
light drizzle of the Napa morning. About
70 people were gathered at 9 am. in lhe
cow pasture across from the access road
leading up id Lonsdale's rancjf Roughly
60 of Ihose people were media
representatives.
The police formed a barricade on either
side of ihe road, with a special detachment
from the Napa S hen f f s Dent, wearing
camouflage outfits and sporting M-16 '
assault rifles and lear-gas dispensers,
patrolling the hills. Four Chinook
military helicopters circled warily above
the demonstration site. It was hard to see
where the expected threat came from.
A little after nine, a van full of
skinheads drove up the hill, where ihey
were greeted by WAR'S "guards" at a
small rise. Seconds bier, lhe skinheads
were instructed by their brethren to put
iheir hands on their heads. A citizen's
arrest had been made. According io
Lonergan ihe group had attempted to
bring unauthorized weapons into the
WAR rally area. They were instructed to
drive back down the hill and leave, which
Ihey did.
Al 9:30 a.m. the first interesting event
occured. A group of forty or so media
people walked past police lines and up lhe
hill io try and talk to lhe skinheads, led
by Fresno Bee photographer Lloyd
Francis, Jr.
The journalists were met with little
humor by the skinheads. "No tucking
com mem." said one as he passed out.
