Page, alleged Wisconsin shooter, hated "apathy"

According to an organization which tracks hate groups, Wade Michael Page, the alleged killer of six Sikhs inside a temple Sunday morning, was a member of the band "End Apathy."  The Southern Poverty Law Center has also confirmed that Page, who was shot dead after a gun battle, was a neo-Nazi.

In a 2010 interview, Page stated: "...if we could figure out how to end people's apathetic ways it would be the start towards moving forward. Of course after that it requires discipline, strict discipline to stay the course in our sick society."

When asked about the lyrics to his song "Self Destruct," Page said,  "I was willing to point out some of my faults on how I was holding myself back."  The idea for starting the band "End Apathy" was "based on frustration that we have the potential to accomplish so much more as individuals and a society in whole."

Of his lyrics, Page said, "The topics vary from sociological issues, religion, and how the value of human life has been degraded by being submissive to tyranny and hypocrisy that we are subjugated to." To read the entire interview and learn more about Page, go to:  http://www.myspace.com/endapathyband
