White's Web site closed by FBI: Overthrow.com has been off-line since federal officials seized computer equipment.
Oct 17, 2008 -- Federal agents have reportedly seized computer equipment from a Roanoke-based white supremacy group, at least temporarily shutting down a Web site used to spout racist rhetoric.
Overthrow.com, which is run by William White, the commander of the American National Socialist Workers Party, has been off-line since last weekend.
According to White, FBI agents armed with a search warrant removed computers and other equipment early Saturday morning from a Patterson Avenue building that houses his Internet operation.
The raid marks the latest chapter in a long-running investigation of White's online activities.
Although White and two other sources say a grand jury has been empaneled to hear testimony, any decision on whether to bring charges could be complicated by the fine line between free speech and criminal activity -- a line that legal experts say White is adept at straddling.
Earlier this week, White posted what appears to be a partial copy of the search warrant to a Yahoo message group. The warrant suggests that federal authorities are looking into an Overthrow posting that listed personal information about a juror in the case of a white supremacist convicted of plotting to kill a Chicago judge.
Other postings have included calls to lynch six black teenagers charged with assault in a case that prompted a civil rights demonstration last year in Jena, La.
More recently, the Web site carried images of presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, his head in the cross hairs of a rifle sight fashioned into a swastika, along with the headline "Kill This N---?"
It was not clear this week whether the federal investigation of White includes the Obama material, which appears on the cover of an upcoming magazine to be published by ANSWP.[...]
