"Although the model was taken down, King still received a B grade for it after her mother argued she had the right to freedom of speech. Her parents didn't object to her beliefs, but warned her she was "too blatant about them."
It was around this time, in 1998, that King was involved in the robbery of the adult video shop. Soon afterwards she fled to Chicago with her boyfriend who was wanted for another hate crime. However, she was arrested weeks later and taken to the Federal Detention Centre in Miami.
With their help, she started to take responsibility for her past actions. During her first year in the detention centre she was tipped off that a newspaper article was coming out about her case. She told one of her new friends how worried she was about the publicity. "My friend had a job that meant she got out early to help prepare breakfast. The day it came out she stole the paper and hid it so no-one could read it. She, a black woman, did that for me, an ignorant white woman who was inside for a hate crime."
I didn't know the article I posted was about the same woman welly? posted about.. I wanted to add in my original post that I had mixed thoughts about the rehabilitation possibility of Neo-Nazis but don't have the time to devote this afternoon...I regret it after reading the second article *shrugs* I want to identify people who mean me the most harm so free tatto removal and help blending into society doesn't seem fair. Anyway the above quoted parts of the article really strike me as her being rewarded for some really shit life choices and somehow floating on grace and white privilege to come out on the other end of it okay.
