Weird Little Guys is a weekly show about the worst people you’ve never heard of, taking you beyond the headlines to get to know the race warriors and aspiring terrorists trying to unravel the fabric of our society. Weaving together the origin stories of modern American white supremacist groups and the crimes that land their members in court, independent journalist Molly Conger exposes the monsters for what they really are - some weird guy. Whether they’re conspiring to build bombs or serving swastika shaped cookies at a dinner party, the weird little guys trying to destroy America are a little less scary with their masks off.

    CZM Rewind: The Civil War False Flag

    When someone left a bomb at a Civil War reenactment event in 2017, it looked like antifascist activists were out for revenge after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. A mysterious letter writer claiming to be an antifascist collective took credit for the bomb and threatened even more violence to come if Civil War reenactments weren't called off. But the bomber wasn't antifa - it was a spurned Confederate re-enactor.

    State Created Danger

    In April 2025, the Supreme Court declined to hear a case filed by a pair of white supremacists who felt the police had violated their civil rights by refusing to help them put on a rally in Charlottesville in August of 2017. Their lawsuit was a joke, but unfortunately for all of us, the punchline is that the police don't actually have to help anyone.Sources:https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/neo-nazi-lawyer-represents-baltimore-suit-over-wrongful-arrest-and-19-year-imprisonment/https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/leaked-emails-name-shadow-lawyer-charlottesville-case/https://www.hunton.com/media/publication/34613_final-report-ada-compliant-ready.pdfhttps://www.courthousenews.com/attorney-accused-of-neo-nazi-ties-argues-for-new-shot-at-libel-case/https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/21-5952.htmlhttps://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/20-1241.htmlhttps://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/24-891.htmlhttps://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2016/03/city-council-members-call-to-remove-robert-e-lee-statuehttps://legacylis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?981+ful+CHAP0752https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title15.2/chapter18/section15.2-1812/https://www.danielshular.com/charlottesvillehttps://angrywhitemen.org/2021/12/22/neo-nazi-activist-wants-to-desensitize-white-people-to-hitler-and-holocaust-denial/#more-54777https://valawyersweekly.com/2023/05/11/unite-the-right-attendees-suit-vs-officials-dismissed/https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/white-nationalist-organization-forms-racist-antisemitic-political-party/https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/students-horrified-about-coach-with-white-nationalist-ties-school-says/2018/01/10/81617f88-f5a4-11e7-b34a-b85626af34ef_story.htmlhttp://decisions.courts.state.ny.us/fcas/fcas_docs/2013JUL/3001010882012002SCIV.pdfhttps://www.oyez.org/cases/2004/04-278https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-4th-circuit/1709128.htmlhttps://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-4th-circuit/1336802.html Julia Steiner, Beware of the Dangers of the State-Created Danger Doctrine: A Look at the Ninth Circuit's Approach, 79 U.
