Bloom, who said her son recently moved to Ohio from Kentucky, told the Toledo Blade that she didn’t speak with her son about his political views.
One of Fields’ former high school teachers, who spoke with Cincinnati TV station WCPO, said he remembered Fields as having “radical views” that made him stand out.
“He had some very radical views on race, he was very infatuated with Nazis, with Adolf Hitler,” Derek Weimer of Cooper High School in Boone County, Kentucky, told the station.
“He was pretty infatuated with that stuff. His freshman year he had an issue with that that was raised,” Weimer added, without going into more detail.
Fields was arrested and charged with one count of second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and one count related to leaving the scene of the wreck.

The article you linked to is extremely light on substance. According their argument, I a gay, black man would be a neo-nazi because I recognize that whites and blacks are in fact different on very deep and fundamental levels (seriously there is a reason I prefer the company of whites) and have also read Mein Kampf (in the original German, which like Marx is the only way to read it--so much is lost in translation).
It's from the Huffington Post, which is not good for deep coverage. Deeper coverage is usually behind a paywall.
Considering what the Nazis did to the Rhineland Bastards (children of French African soldiers and German mothers), it's hard to see how anyone black could have any fascination with Nazis except as abomination.
Evil creates its own cause for fascination, which explains why there is a plethora of books and video on the Nazis.
Someone infatuated with Nazis has a problem. Nazism is about as pure sociopathy in politics as can exist. Commies may have killed more people, but at least they have the ideal of a more equitable society and a rush through economic development that market-constrained capitalism supposedly cannot offer. Nazism is slavery and genocide.
Mein Kampf is awful reading, and the one part that is interesting (on propaganda) proves to be near-plagiarism. I've read it, but most of it has gone into my memory hole. Not very useful -- bad history, pseudo-science, and insights into an unsavory person. This is Charles Manson with more success.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
