The Headline: “Utah’s Public Enemy Number One Captured”

posted by on June 25 at 10:41 AM

The photo:

Couldn’t have been that hard to find.

Anyway: This charming inmate, Curtis Allgier, member of the Aryan Nation, went to a medical appointment, accompanied by a cop, stole the cop’s handgun, shot him dead, and went on the lam. He carjacked a Ford, got chased into an Arby’s, shot someone inside, and was captured in the manager’s office.

Curtis was last arrested in November, 2006, by a SWAT team in a Salt Lake City motel. He barricaded himself in his room, then went up into the building’s attic and fell through the floor.

The name “Curtis” is thought to come to English from the Old French curteis, meaning “courteous,” with a connotation of “beautiful.”

From the cross tattoo on the side of his face, I am guessing that he is Christian. Maybe Dan can add this guy to his "They Will Know We Are Christians..." posts.

What's it say on the forehead ("Property of xxxxlane")? And I can't read what he has below his nose, either.

Does it strike anyone else as ironic that, if given free access to all the tattoo paraphernalia he wanted, this skinhead dipshit would probably wind up coloring all his skin "black"? He definitely seems on that path to me.

Under the nose: purebreed, it looks like. Psh, if he was pure he'd look like Anderson Cooper. Liar.

@1 I think that tattoo is actually a crucified skinhead which is somewhat common in that silly little world.

"Property of Jolene"

He is a hatebreed fan. ha. hardcore punk! Some of the Tats seem to be a Nazi low riders prison gang.

Unusual for woods to write properity of anything on themselves. Interesting.

Let's see: SKIN HEAD, Rarebreed, F.U.N., and Property of Jolene.

What?

Wow, he must have been severly abused as a kid (or something else really traumatic) to have such low self-esteem to trash his pretty boy face. What a waste.

In a single American Hospital for war wounded today, more than 800 of the patients have lost an arm, a leg, fingers or toes. More than 100 are blind. Dozens need tubes and machines to keep them alive. Hundreds are disfigured by burns, and thousands have brain injuries and mangled minds.

These are America's war wounded, a toll that has received less attention than the 3,500 troops killed in Iraq. Depending on how you count them, they number between 35,000 and 53,000.

Maybe he got all the facial tats to bring out his eyes....

Ford? Arby's? Is this some of that new advertising that companies are trying? Very sneaky.

SeMe is right, it's "hatebreed" not "purebreed" or "rarebreed". That's their logo; they're a thrashcore band, or whatever micro-genre it is. Oddly, they're skinheads, but not racists; they play with hip-hop groups. But they have a song called "Kill The Niggers", so maybe our boy Curtis here misinterpreted them a little. Though you'd think if you were getting a tattoo on your face you'd want to be, you, SURE.

My favorite is the boot tattooed over his nose.

20 just easier to not think about it and your personal responsibility in all this carnage by supporting Dan Savage who supports George W. Bush's illegal war. OK everyone back to discussing the tats on this guy. Paris will e out of Jail this week so you can get back to living your pathetic fuckan lives

@19: According to Wikipedia, 5150 is the code for an in 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold.

16 and 20 (same person? most likely) I know it must suck that people don't pay attention to your cause of the day every single fucking minute. I know you are a really important person who is going to make everybody see the light. Really I do. But for now can you just shut the fuck up so we can get back to mocking this delightful human being. I promise when were down we will think really really hard about the war till it ends. Deal?

But, But Giffy! Paris gets out of jail thuis week. If you don't think about the war, the war crimes, the dead, the wounded, and the role your hero Dan Savage plaed in all this, when will you think about it. I mean Britney might do something next week. And the out of jail paris story ahs got two week legs.

@16 and 20: Ugh. Do you actually *know* any of these wounded? Cause I do. I know some of the dead. I know a guy with his achilles tendons severed in a fire fight. I know guys who took bullets in the leg and were denied treatment, and were considered "pussies" until they couldn't walk anymore. I know guys that went 15 months on tour with NO BODY ARMOR, patrolling Baghdad day in and day out. I know guys that burned alive, and their corpses were beyond recognition. My husband was injured in Iraq. My friends died in Iraq.

So fuck you. It gets coverage all the damn time. And just because a liberal newspaper's BLOG doesn't cover it you get your panties in a twist?? Fucking please.

I do think the war should get more coverage than it does. I think the draft needs to be reinstated so that all types of people have to deal with the consequences and realities of the horror I have dealt with. That doesn't mean I trash on a BLOG or some writer celebrity (like Dan) because they were wrong on something 3 fucking years ago.

Sorry to feed the troll everyone, but goddamnit. /end rant.

If you look really closely the tattoo in his left ear is an Angel and the one in right ear is a Devil.

I suppose he is trying his hardest to be cute but, it is really a muffled cry for euthanasia.

Let's go team. He is giving the art of prison tattoos a bad name.
