I loved the description of how you both first met - my guess is that survivors intuitively understand each other . I've had so many experiences like this encountering people in crazy circumstances...like being surrounded by neo- nazi skinheads and avoiding a major ass kicking but that's another story .
I dont think the DC skin heads , the old school ones, Mike Da Skin, Blue, certainly not Steve Squint, could be painted with such a broad brush, i didnt know any that were white supremacists, some were USA Nationalists, some were Krishnas, many were just drunk, i hadnt seen any neo-nazi skins untill i came to Pennsauken NJ in the early 90s, though im sure some were influenced by UK skins which were more Aryan centric than the ones we had in general.
Feel this. It was SO confusing. I recall discussing Lefty's mini-skinhead army with friends, asking: "Don't they know she's Black?!?"

Ha! Maybe that's one you should write!
