The neo Nazi organization American Defense “Skinheads” (ADS) put on a memorial show last Saturday, but what sets this show apart from the other various shows and “social events” that ADS has put on in the last few years was the venue. The Pitcairn-Monroeville Sportsmen’s Club (PMSC) recreational hall was filled with merchandise tables peddling racist band shirts and white supremacist propaganda while chants of “seig heil” and “white power” were shouted by the crowd giving the Nazi salute. Meanwhile outside of the rec hall there is a memorial to the veterans of our armed forces, including those who served in WW2 fighting against the Nazi regime. ADS has a history of using events like this to promote their terrible bands and their second rate record labels, selling merchandise as a part of their organizational fundraising operations. In addition to the fundraising aspects these shows are a way for these neo nazi gangs to meet new recruits, maintain bonds with far away members, plot new campaigns, and distribute printed propaganda. (…) Through pictures obtained it is clear that neo nazis travelled from at least 5 different states for this show. Many are members of the bands that played. Some represented other Neo Nazi gangs, such as Keystone United, formerly known as Keystone State “Skinheads“. While others are a part of the growing number of American Defense Skinhead chapters across the nation. Their organizing and fundraising base is located in Pittsburgh PA. From there they direct members, organize fundraising events, plan social outings and contribute to various neo fascist organizations and gangs.
