  • Christopher Carl Young, Proud Boy and Neo-Nazi of Galt, CA

    Christopher Carl Young, Proud Boy and Neo-Nazi of Galt, CA

    Christopher Young has been front and center at many of the far-right rallies and events in Northern California since early this summer. Operating under the online pseudonym “Odin,” (his dog’s name) or “Odin Young,” he has affiliated himself with several far-right populist and supremacist groups including the California State Militia and the Central Valley Militia. Young is the Vice President of the Central Valley Proud Boys and has a Proud Boys tattoo on his right forearm. Young told J. On November 28 that he is a former Muslim and now Christian. However, several of Young’s tattoos signal a relationship to Paganism, as does the name he gave to his pet (Odin). Every single video on Young’s TikTok account is also centered around this theme. For more details on the overlap between certain pagan groups and fascism, see our article on a racist local pagan here.

    An update:

    Tweet from "Antifa Sacramento" (@AntifaSac_), replying to the same account, reading: "Gregory Wheeler, a white nationalist, & member of the Proud Boys has been fired from his job over at Galls: Uniforms, Equipment and Gear for Police on Arden Way. Galls is still complicit in the racist Sacramento Police terrorizing communities in Sac everyday. #AbolishThePolice" Below it, a GoFundMe ad panel shows "$1,772 raised of $6,000 goal," 38 donors, 9 shares, 38 followers, and buttons for "Share" and "Donate now," alongside a "21 people just donated" list showing NATHANIEL BERRIOS $115 and Ken S $60. On the right, a fundraiser page notes "Gregory Wheeler is organizing this fundraiser," created 3 days ago under "Accidents & Emergencies," with a message stating he was "doxxed by Antifa, and have been fired from my job, serving Law Fire, EMT's, Chaplains, and our Military since 1998." Donate and Share buttons appear below with "Organizer: Gregory Wheeler."

    99′ to 2019 And Beyond – Resist White Terror

    A photograph of an overgrown garden or yard viewed through out-of-focus green foliage in the foreground. In the center stands a tall, narrow metal trellis or ladder-like frame supporting climbing plants, with dark, twisted vines and tendrils wrapped around its rungs. To the left, a wooden stake with a red-and-white striped marker is visible among the greenery. A green garden hose lies coiled on the dirt ground at the bottom of the frame. The background consists of dense trees and vegetation, with dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves.

     At the end of the summer of 1999, Sacramento had experienced arson attacks at three synagogues in a single night in the month of June and then an arson attack at a women’s health center where abortions were provided in July. Not long after the women’s health center attack, the news came out that those responsible for the the four arson attacks were also responsible for the murder of a gay couple up in the Redding area. At each synagogue that was attacked, literature was left behind for the World Church of the Creator, a white supremacist group that is now known as Creativity.
