In this episode Barry-John speaks with reformed Neo Nazi Bryon Widner about his time in the extremely violent white supremacist underworld where he committed some disturbingly violent crimes including slicing off a homeless Native American mans ear in order to earn his stripes.
Bryon accumulated racist & Nazi tattoos which covered his face and neck as a badge of honour to his fellow gang members and a warning to his enemies.
Bryon would come to question the racist ideology that his group boasted and decided to move on with his life. Unfortunately in the world that he was entrenched the only 2 ways to leave were to go to prison or in a coffin so leaving the group made him a marked man.
Leaving the group brought violence to his front door and his life was threatened on numerous occasions.
Eventually Bryon helped the FBI to obtain convictions against his former gang members. This has made Bryon a marked man for the rest of his life.
Bryon also talks about the excruciatingly painful 2 year process of removing all of the racist tattoo so that he could move on with his life as well as his deep regrets about the life that he has left behind.
