The Reaction to the Assassination of Fred Hampton
We can't expect a white supremacist state apparatus to really go after violent white supremacists. These people don't really care and half the cops or half the people in power are sympathetic to the right wing, even if they're not full on Nazis.

By some accounts, the Chicago Panthers lost membership and lost energy after he was murdered.
