Charles Juba, once considered among the most influential men in the Neo-Nazi movement, is opening a new under-21 nightclub in Odessa this weekend. He says he’s left his past behind, but Odessa residents are still understandably concerned about what kind of influence the man who once ran “Gas A Jew For Jesus.com” might have on their kids, let alone how his club will make Odessa look.
Juba plans to open The Black Flag Club Friday night at the Prime Outlets Mall. Last night at a board of alderman meeting, angry Odessa residents confronted Juba who told them: “I’m a father. I’m a business owner. I’ve walked away from my past over five years ago.”
According to the Black Flag Club’s Web site, Juba picked the name as a reference to the banner of Civil War guerilla fighter William Quantrill, whose most famous raid, the Lawrence Massacre, left 183 men and boys dead and the town burning. The club’s Web site says it’s the “newest, the biggest, and the best 20 & under club for music dancing, bands, and fun!“
