Frankie Meeink is a former member of a white supremacist skinhead gang. By the age of seventeen years old, Frankie was already deeply embedded in the chaotic and often violent neo-nazi lifestyle. In my interview with Frankie, he opened up about his extremist past and transformative experience in which he relinquished his hate shortly after completing a prison stint for kidnapping an Antifa member.
Frankie recounted the intense and dangerous lifestyle he was involved in.
“I was running around with groups of people that were plotting f****ng bombings and kidnappings, and bank robberies and ways to fund the f****ng next race war. I was running with the f****ng dogs, and I was down, man. If I was in a safe house somewhere, and someone had been like, ‘Yo, we got a truck outside with a bomb in it and we need to take it to a federal building, dude,’ I would have been like, ‘okay,”’ said Frankie.
