The Pitch: Now Klan-Free
If you pick up a print edition of The Pitch this week, it should be Klan-free.
Following this recent cover story on activities by local hate groups, the National Socialist Movement – or NSM — has instructed its members not to stuff copies of The Pitch with Nazi and Ku Klux Klan literature.
Tim Bishop, the second-in-command for the National Socialist Movement and leader of the Kansas branch, said he instructed Adrian Trentadue, the subject of the article, to stop inserting literature into The Pitch.
Trentatdue has declined to speak about the article. But Sunny Fletcher, who identified himself as public liaison for local NSM members, said Trentadue remains a member of the organization. “He withdrew a little bit but he’s coming out of it,” Fletcher said.
As for Turk, the other KKK member featured in the story, The Pitch discovered after publication that his real name is John Dizon. He uses the alias “Turk” for his activities in hate groups, as a member of the band the Spoiler, and as a professional wrestler with his company, the Independence Wrestling Association. Dizon is the wrestler challenging Tony Gonzales in this video:
