“White supremacists Leo Felton, 31, and his girlfriend Erica Chase, 22, were convicted in July of plotting to blow up landmarks around Boston that had significance for Jews and blacks so that a “racial holy war” would erupt. Chase dressed demurely during the trial, hiding her numerous Aryan tattoos (including “white power” on her toes).
Felton has attributed his anger and aggression to the fact that he has a black father (and white mother, and both were civil-rights activists), and courthouse observers speculated that Chase’s distancing of herself from him during the trial reflects her growing ambivalence about his heritage.” <via email>
