WHITE SUPREMACIST JOYCE WEIGEL DEAD

Joyce Weigel, RIHWe need to make clear that it is only for internal reasons that we don’t give this woman holding the “Deport Illegals” sign the “Rot in Hell!” sendoff we normally give folks of this crowd. It is not done out of respect to her, that’s for damn sure, especially given how her husband Erick Weigel, Jr. (in the sunglasses behind her, holding a sign advertising Stormfront.org) once declared that those against him needed to have their throats slit in the White Revolution or something. They were at the center of a serious scuffle with antifa at an anti-immigration rally in Morristown, NJ (that their comrades tried to blame US for!) eight years ago. In fact, that’s where this pic comes from. But while she remained particularly quiet since, she was still very much just as down as her husband was.

BELVIDERE, NJ – It has been learned that Joyce Weigel, who along with her husband Erick Weigel was one of several neo-Nazis participating in a 2007 anti-immigration rally in Morristown, NJ and in particular was involved in a fight with antifa immediately afterwards, died April 6, according to an online obituary.

A Facebook post from a friend lamenting the news of her death noted that Weigel, 41, a manager at Weis Markets in Newton, NJ, reportedly died of a heart attack. She had a number of health issues over the years.

Erick and Joyce Weigel regularly participated in New Jersey/Pennsylvania area white supremacist events, particularly those sponsored by the groups Nationalist Coalition, American Freedom Party and the Council of Conservative Citizens, of which Erick was the Chairman Northern New Jersey/Eastern Pennsylvania chapter. In December 2012, he spoke at a meeting of white supremacists outside Philadelphia where he recited a speech by William Pierce, the Turner Diaries author and founder of the White supremacist National Alliance, where and received a round of applause when he said, “America’s salvation must now come from young men and women of revolutionary spirit and outlook who are through talking and voting and are instead working toward the day when they can seize the true enemies of our people by the hair of their heads and slit their throats.”

In July 2007, Weigel and other white supremacists, including other associates of Nationalist Coalition and posters to the neo-Nazi website Stormfront, participated in a rally in sponsored by a now-defunct group called the Pro America Society to support a plan by the mayor of Morristown, New Jersey, to deputize law enforcement officials to enforce immigration laws. The rally was met with a large contigent of counter-demonstrators, and when the event ended, Erick and Joyce were involved in a fight with antifa that resulted in the couple going to the hospital for minor injuries and three persons arrested for assaulting them. When a criminal complaint was filed against Erick Weigel for his role in the fight, an agreement was made that resulted in all charges dropped on both sides [https://archive.idavox.com/index.php/en/news/immigration/1568-all-charges-dismissed-from-07-morristown-anti-immigration-rally-].

Robb Pearson, who founded the Pro America Society would later disban the organization and decry the hatred directed towards undocumented workers, noting in an interview that groups he met with while organizing the rally were “up in arms” when he suggested that he wanted to make clear that this rally was against racism and that he “caved in” when they threatened not to come if he even mentioned racism [http://causaoregon.blogspot.com/2009/01/anti-undocumented-immigration-activist.html].

Prior to this, Erick and Joyce both had run-ins with the law particularly due to substance abuse. In May 2003, the couple was busted on a drug possession charge just four months after Erick was picked up on one in Morris County that earned him four months probation. The May 2003 charge was dismissed, only to have been arrested again on drug charges in Essex County, NJ in April 2004, which was just weeks after Joyce was arrested on another drug charge. Erick served two days in jail and six months probation, while Joys served one day, probation for a year and her license suspended.

they were both popped again on drug charges in Essex County, NJ. That netted him two days in jail and six months probation. Joyce was already in trouble on a drug charge a few weeks earlier. Add this one to the mix and she ended up with a day in jail, one year probation, and her license suspended. Besides those arrests. Joyce saw charges in October, 2002, but they were dismissed. That doesn’t mean she is keeping herself out of trouble though. In July of 2012, a fender bender in Parsippany, NJ resulted in her arrest for driving under the influence.

Joyce Weigel’s funeral was held April 11. Her cremation services were private.
