One of the tiki torch marchers seen in an iconic photo of the 2017 Unite The Right rally protesting the removal of a Robert E Lee statue took his own life in Missouri last month the day he was supposed to face trial in Arizona on charges of smuggling fentanyl, the Daily Beast reports.
Teddy Joseph Von Nukem, 35, who had legally changed his name from Teddy Landrum to honor both his German heritage and the video game character Duke Nukem, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a barn in his hometown at the very moment a judge in Arizona issued a warrant for his arrest over the no-show at Nukem’s trial following his 2021 arrest at the border. Nukem told cops he had accepted 4,000 Mexican pesos (roughly $215) to smuggle the shit right wingers are supposed to hate with a passion for destroying white communities.
