biography

David Lynch joined the far-right skinhead movement in the United States in the mid-1980s . He organized marches and demonstrations and was one of the founding members of the American Front in 1987. In the early years of the American Front in particular, he was radical and came into conflict with the law several times. It was mostly petty offenses and illegal gun possession. In the 1990s he still played an important role in the white power scene, but remained calm. In 2002 he took over the leadership position in the American Front and changed its ideology of a third position movement into a Pan-Aryan organization, which promotes a worldwide merger of the skinhead movement.

Lynch organized several large-scale skinhead demonstrations and supported the imprisoned terrorists of The Order . He also made contacts with the National Alliance and other right-wing extremist groups. He was involved in founding an international skinhead organization called Troops of Tomorrow and a prisoners' organization called Prison Skins .

On March 2, 2011, he was shot to the head by an unknown perpetrator in his home in Citrus Heights. His 33-year-old pregnant girlfriend was shot.
