White supremacist arrested on warrant

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

In Fairlee yesterday, Vermont State Police arrested a convicted sex offender who law enforcement and media reports have previously described as an “armed and dangerous white supremacist.”

The Journal-Opinion reports that VSP said Christopher Palermo, 48, of Andover, New Hampshire was a passenger in a vehicle pulled over for a traffic stop on Route 5. He is the subject of two extraditable warrants — both out of New Hampshire. 

VSP also cited him for resisting arrest and providing false information to police.  Palermo reportedly had ties to the Brother of the White Warrior prison gang and Nazi and neo-Nazi tattoos or symbols on his body.

  1. Why are supremecists often the least supreme examples of their group?

  2. Wow…good thing he was arrested. Now the VT State Police can focus upon investigating, arresting, and also prosecuting the Communists of the ISC who have been apparently operating with impunity in Vermont. (See Vermont non-profit tied to Communist Party-backed groups, VDC June 25, 2025)

    After all, the LAST thing a US state operating under the Constitution within a free Republic wants is a two-tiered justice system, correct Governor, Lt. Governor, VT State Police, Senators Sanders & Leahy, Congress Members, & Vermont Attorney General???

    Goodness. Just imagine if that were to transpire………..

    • The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects free speech, assembly, and political association, including the right to advocate for communism. The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that individuals cannot be punished solely for their political beliefs, even if unpopular. In Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), the Court held that speech can only be restricted if it incites imminent lawless action, overturning earlier rulings like Whitney v. California (1927), which upheld laws against radical political groups.

  3. They finally found a white supremicist! And get this he wasn’t even arrested for being racist!
