LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Public records show that four men from North Carolina participated in a Neo-Nazi rally in Little Rock, Arkansas, on Dec. 6, 2025. Two of the men are from the Charlotte area.
The Arkansas Times, an alternative weekly newspaper that serves Arkansas, shared that the rally last weekend happened in front of the state’s capitol and Little Rock Central High School, which was racially integrated in 1957. The rally was held by the group called Blood Tribe and focused near the Little Rock Nine statue, which commemorated the first nine Black students to integrate at the school. The Arkansas Times said the group’s rally included the use of a banner with a segregationist slogan.
Who in the group is from North Carolina?
The men whom the Arkansas Times identified from North Carolina include:
- Robert Virtue, 36, of Shelby
- Matthew Morgan, 40, of Hickory
- Eric Adam, 29, of Sanford
- Nicholas Fisher, 34, of Wendell
After the rally, the Arkansas Times reports the group left in a U-Haul box truck, which was later stopped by the Little Rock Police Department. One member of that group, 36-year-old Zachary Platter of Bloomington, Indiana, was identified as the truck’s driver. He was cited for improperly allowing the group to ride in the back of the truck.
Earlier this week, LRPD released the body camera footage from that stop, as reported by our content partner station KTHV-TV in Little Rock. Officers gave the driver the ticket and told the men in the truck to find other transportation. The video also shows a brief moment during the encounter where the men begin chanting in unison, shouting “Heil Hitler” and raising their right arms in a Nazi salute…
