While one should not trust all the facts in this informational email from George Burdi's friends -- their statement about what Burdi was convicted of is simply wrong -- it does eloquently convey one essential fact. Namely, that Burdi's appeal for his conviction has been rejected by the appelant [sic] sourt. We are pleased to note that, for his role in bravely stomping the head of a woman who was already on the ground, Mr. Burdi will be spending at least several months as a guest of the province of Ontario. - Jamie McCarthy jamie@nizkor.org March 1, 1997 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by velox.uniserve.com (8.8.2/8.8.2) id JAA18487 for resistlist-outgoing; Sat, 1 Mar 1997 09:46:51 -0800 X-Authentication-Warning: velox.uniserve.com: majordom set sender to owner-resistlist using -f Received: from mercury.uniserve.com (mercury.uniserve.com [204.191.197.248]) by velox.uniserve.com (8.8.2/8.8.2) with ESMTP id JAA17926 for; Sat, 1 Mar 1997 09:21:00 -0800 Received: from odin (dy1-08.van.tvs.net [204.244.156.17]) by mercury.uniserve.com (8.8.2/8.8.2) with SMTP id JAA28550 for ; Sat, 1 Mar 1997 09:20:33 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970301091940.013c7d20@pop.uniserve.com> X-Sender: rrecords@pop.uniserve.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) X-Priority: 1 (Highest) Date: Sat, 01 Mar 1997 09:19:44 -0800 To: resistlist@www.resistance.com From: "Joe C.

Nearly 2,000 subscribers! *** Greetings Friends & Supporters, The staff at Resistance Records would like to inform you of the results of George Hawthorne's appeal. Most of you know the details of the case. For those of you that don't, allow me to give them to you. In case you're really new to all of this, George Hawthorne is the founder of Resistance Records, the editor of RESISTANCE Magazine, the founder and lead singer of the band RAHOWA, and he puts together our email newsletter, the RREN. George was arrested and charged a few years ago with "assault causing bodily harm" for an attack that occurred on an anti-racist in Canada's notorious "Ottawa Riots" following an aborted RAHOWA concert. He was found guilty of not actually committing the assault, but in "abetting". Yes, you got it right. They basically placed the blame of the entire riot on George's shoulders. He was sentenced to ONE YEAR in jail. Funny how that worked out. It was his first offense and there was no real "proof" of anything, just heresay. Some guys were caught on film in the act of assaulting people with chains and they only got 45 or 90 days. An anti-racist attacked a police officer with a steel pipe and got no time. All he had to do was write a 500 word essay on how kids should become "active" in promoting anti-racism. Just like him. Oh, he also had to give an "apology" to the cop. Is there any justice left in this world? You tell me. George served 3 weeks and got out on appeal bail. He waited almost 2 years for the appeal. The appelant court upheld both the conviction and the sentence. So he has begun serving his 1 year sentence. He "should" be released on parole in 4 months (1/3 of the sentence) and at most in 8 months (2/3 of the sentence). Please note my "cynicism". We'll keep you posted. Regardless, we at Resistance HQ are now handling George's email. We will be issuing a formal letter from George on his situation with our next mailing of Resistance Magazine (due out in a few weeks) and our next catalog mailing to non-subscribers. Subscribers to RREN should also be getting something. Please note that there hasn't been an RREN in quite some time. With George away, its release will be sporadic at best. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. We would like to ASSURE YOU that BUSINESS WILL GO ON AS USUAL!!! Our WEB site will still be up and running. You will still be able to order music from it. Orders will still be processed FAST and efficiently. The service you expect from us will continue to be delivered. Also, RESISTANCE MAGAZINE WILL STILL BE PUBLISHED! It may come out a little later, but rest assured, if you paid for a subscription for 4 issues or for 8 issues, YOU WILL GET THEM, EVEN IF IT TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL! If you conduct personal correspondence with George via email, this is to let you know that he won't be getting it. If you have any questions regarding RESISTANCE RECORDS, YOUR ORDER, PRODUCT QUESTIONS, OR ANY OTHER INQUIRIES, direct them to us at: email@resistance.com Also, I can now give you his mailing address in case you wish to write him and give him your support. PLEASE NOTE that George's legal last name is "Burdi", NOT "Hawthorne" which is his pen-name. Address all correspondence to "George Burdi" or he will NOT get it! His address: George Burdi Dorm 6 O.C.R.D.C. 2244 Innes Road Gloucester, ON N1B 4C4 Canada Thanks again for your continued support. We value all of our customers. You are the reason we are still here going stronger than ever. Without you, there would be no Resistance Records. We plan on getting even bigger and badder! What does not kill us makes us stronger. George sends his regards and his thanks. Stay strong and Keep the Faith! Joe C.
