Wisconsin Killer Fed and Was Fueled by Hate-Driven Music

here we go again “US Army Veteran.”

His music, Wade M. Page once said, was about “how the value of human life has been degraded by tyranny.”

ut on Sunday, Mr. Page, an Army veteran and a rock singer whose bands specialized in the lyrics of hate, coldly took the lives of six people and wounded three others when he opened fire with a 9-millimeter semiautomatic handgun in a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., the police said. Officers then shot him to death.

To some who track the movements of white supremacist groups, the violence was not a total surprise. Mr. Page, 40, had long been among the hundreds of names on the radar of organizations monitored by the Southern Poverty Law Center because of his ties to the white supremacist movement and his role as the leader of a white-power band called End Apathy. The authorities have said they are treating the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism.

In Oak Creek and in nearby Cudahy, Wis., south of Milwaukee, where Mr. Page lived in the days before the attack, the magnitude and the nature of what had happened were only beginning to sink in, grief competing with outrage.

U.S. equity-index futures rose, while Spain’s two-year note yield increased. Standard CharteredPlc tumbled the most in four years after a U.S. regulator said the lender may face suspension of business activities.

Standard Chartered slumped 16 percent, the most since October 2008. The Spanish two-year yield jumped 24 basis points and the German 10- year yield increased three basis points. The euro strengthened 0.1 percent to $1.2417. Soybeans climbed 1.3 percent.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel backed a bond-buying plan announced last week by the European Central Bank, a spokesman said yesterday. Reports today will probably show factory orders in Germany dropped, while Italy’s economy contracted in the second quarter, according to Bloomberg surveys of economists.

“The risk of the euro being abandoned has been reduced quite substantially,” said Khiem Do, Hong Kong-based head of Asian multi-asset strategy at Baring Asset Management (Asia) Ltd., which oversees about $8 billion. “That’s allowed risk assets to be re-priced.”

Standard Chartered slid for a second day after a New Yorkregulator said it may stop the bank from doing business in the state because it handled transactions for Iranian institutions that are sanctioned by the U.S.
