Dying for a Cause

Overview

Infamous extremist Robert Matthews of the white supremacist group, The Order, considered by experts as the most dangerous domestic terror group in U.S. history, is killed in a deadly shootout on Whidbey Island, turning him into a hero and a martyr. His followers return to the island each year to honor his death. The extreme right continues to use individuals like Matthews, Timothy McVeigh and Ashli Babbitt as propaganda for their dangerous cause.
