The Rogue Valley's most infamous neo-Nazi is dead.
In a his final act of civil disobedience, he was not wearing a seatbelt
(Rogue Free Press)According to the Oregon State Police, on Jan. 28, Keith "Biome Michael" Erickson was seriously injured when he rolled his vehicle off Williams Highway south of Murphy.
At around 8:45 p.m. last Saturday, the OSP, Rural Metro Fire Department and American Medical Response were dispatched to the single-vehicle crash in the 7200-block of Highway 238. OSP troopers said Erickson,47, was driving a Mercedes Benz 300 west on the highway when he lost control for an unknown reason. They said the vehicle rolled several times before coming to rest in a ditch. According to OSP, Erickson was ejected from the vehicle. He was transported by ambulance to Three Rivers Medical Center with serious injuries.
Erickson reportedly died on Jan. 31.
On his social media accounts, Erickson described himself as a "White (Aryan) Male American National Socialist / Historical Revisionist."
In October 2012, Erickson gained some national attention when Comedy Central selected him to be featured as a One of a Kind Candidate for its Indecision Forever website. Erickson gained attention as being a "goofy, hippy" Ashland mayoral candidate. Local media outlets snapped up the story, Erickson shared a few quips about it and he would eventually -- not surprisingly -- lose the election.
