Base of accused killers is

FAYETTEVILLE
(AP) The soldiers accused of
killing two black civilians here
had no memberships in racist
organizations but thrived in a
subculture targeted by such
groups, neo-Nazi experts say.
While the Army believes only a
handful of servicemen at Fort
Bragg hold hostile supremacist
views, the suspects were unno
ticed by authorities inside the
world of skinheads, most of whom
are not racists.
Networks of racist groups of

military personnel and have tar

“In a place as broad as Fort

latch on to only two or three

A third soldier, Spc. Randy

car containing Burmeister and
Wright, who got out of the car
and confronted the victims.
The white soldiers picked
their victims at random and

Championship

AUGUSTA FOCUS Staff Writer
AUGUSTA
It was the perfect end
ingtoa pgrfect season. The
T.W. Josey Eagles shut
down the vaunted running
attack of the Cedar Shoals
Jaguars on the way to a
+l3-6.victory and the Class
AAA State Championship.
It was the school’s first
championship and only the
second for an Augusta
school in over 30 years
(Laney won the state title
in 1966).
The most dramatic play
of the game came with 5
minutes showing on the
clock with Josey driving
toward the goal. With
fourth-and-two and Josey
nursing a 7-6 lead, Coach
John Starr elected to pass
up a probable field goal to
go for the touchdown.
It was the right call.
Quarterback George
Brown faded back from
under center, took off be
hind the pulling tackles
and guards and pitched to
Basail Mack who scooted
12 yards to seal the victo
ry.

“The map’s authors have

African-American for the
rest of time, then so be it,”
reflected McKinney.
