White Power Leader Resigns from Post
EmailShaun Walker, once the Chairman of the country’s largest and most active white supremacist group, has resigned from his post, according to his attorney Robin Ljungberg.
Despite the website of the National Alliance still naming him chairman, Ljungberg told ABC News Walker stepped down from his leadership post during his most recent court appearance this past week. Walker has been indicted by a federal grand jury, along with two other members of the group, for violating the rights of two minority men in Utah.
Magistrate David Nuffer of Salt Lake City agreed to release the former head of the white supremacist group pending his trial on hate-crime charges if certain conditions are met. Those include Walker finding living arrangements in Utah and surrendering his passport.
Walker is set to remain in Salt Lake County jail at least until July 5, which is the date set by Nuffer to hear if the conditions have been met.
If convicted at his trial scheduled for Aug. 21, Walker could face a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.

Surprisingly, the National Alliance has not acknowledged this development. Their website still shows a picture of Shaun Walker as the Chairman.
His resignation will further buttress his reputation for personal integrity and will further expose this Soviet-style show trial for the scam it really is. I wonder how many Salt Lake gangbangers are going unprosecuted just so the system can enforce political orthodoxy?

20 years is just about right. Although he is a member of one of the oldest terrorist groups in the US, we can still only imprison people for their deeds not for their evil thoughts.

It is now official. The National Alliance officially announced today the formal resignation of Shaun Walker as Chairman and his replacement by Erich Gliebe.
The resignation was not totally altruistic. At the upcoming July 5th hearing, Walker must show that not only has he established a Utah residence, but has severed all ties with white nationalist organizations and personalities in order to qualify for release on personal recognizance.
