Chris Barker is a raging KKK member, based in East Yanceyville, North Carolina, with a long criminal record. He has said he is a “white separatist” and conducts open KKK rallies. It is widely believed that he has become an FBI informant to stay out of jail. He is an “Imperial Wizard” of the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan who has been arrested over 50 times, including several times for beating his wife. He’s been charged with attacking another Klansman in December 2016, stabbing with intent to kill. He is such a hot mess that even other Klansmen don’t want to touch him.
The Loyal White Knights claim they are “the most active Klan in America,” and Barker apparently makes money through membership dues and donations. Barker’s group has been associated with some of the more publicized actions that the KKK has engaged in, including the rally on July 8, 2017, in Charlottesville, Virginia Barker himself, however, was placed on a $75,000 bail, preventing him from leaving Caswell and Rockingham counties in North Carolina.
Barker has been widely thought to be an FBI informant, which is why he has stayed out of jail. According to the attentive reporting of Nate Thayer, Barker was a collaborator in an FBI “sting” of an individual named Glendon Scott Crawford. Crawford wanted to build some sort of laser death ray (at this point more science fiction than reality) to kill Muslims. Barker made phone calls and hosted Crawford in his home, all while wired with the FBI’s microphones, in order to help the FBI gather evidence against Crawford. Presumably, he did this to save his own neck.
How many types of wrong can one person be?
Barker is so psychopathic, he apparently will commit deadly force against other Klansmen on the eve of one of their major events. In December 2016, the Klan was trying to hold a little victory rally to celebrate Donald Trump winning the presidential election. At their final planning meeting at Barker’s house, a Klansman named Richard Dillon from Indiana was stabbed multiple times in the chest by Barker and another man named William Hagen of California. Both Barker and Hagen were said to have assaulted Dillon.
Dillon apparently managed to escape from the KKK meeting, and stumbled bleeding into the local sheriff’s office at 3:15 AM. Barker was charged with “aiding and abetting assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury,” according to The New York Times, and Hagen was charged with “assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury.”
The stabbing was only the latest big criminal event Barker has been involved in. He’s got a rap sheet that only white privilege can bring. Here’s what VICE News said about Barker:
