BROCKTON —

Several police with guns drawn surrounded and then entered a house at 569 Crescent St. Monday after a man reported to be the father of suspected spree killer Keith Luke had made loud, overt threats from a window.

According to reports from the area, police surrounded a house on Crescent Street where David Luke was believed to be. Witnesses said police entered the building and talked with Luke before they all emerged from the house and walked Luke to a waiting ambulance. No shots were fired.

Keith Luke, who when last seen in court had a shaved head and hand-carved swastika on his forehead, is accused of killing two people and critically wounding a third on Jan. 21, 2009 in Brockton in what authorities have called a racially motivated attack. All three victims were Cape Verdean.

The self-proclaimed white supremacist is accused of killing Selma Goncalves, 20, and Arlindo Goncalves, 72, and wounding a third person whom he also is accused of raping.
Luke then led police on a chase through the city before crashing his van. He is also charged with shooting at officers. Keith Luke has been held without bail since his Jan. 21 arrest.

1. The apple apparently doesn't fall far from the tree

[LuvNewcastle]

2. What a lovely family.

Looks like they're going to be together for the holidays.

[Ian David]

3. I live only blocks away from those losers.

For all I know, I could have waited in line at the supermarket or Brockton Fair with those guys.

[LuvNewcastle]

5. That's creepy.

Few of us know what's going on just a few houses down from us. Many of us don't even know our neighbors very well. If you think about it too much, though, you'll never want to leave home.

15. Not the same dude, but check this prior thread and some of the responses...

My pizza delivery guy is a Neo-Nazi

In light of what happened with this dude, I say I made the right call about not ordering from that pizza place anymore.

[KamaAina]

17. Let me guess. They only serve New England-style white pizza?

:eyes:

19. LOL! n/t

[niyad]

7. that is truly creepy. I wonder about all the reichwing religious fundies around here.

[polmaven]

13. By "around here",

do you mean the neighborhood of Brockton or DU?

[scentopine]

4. Why are we not calling this guy a right wing terrorist? -nt

[niyad]

8. because he's a white american male?

[niyad]

6. is my computer screwing up, or does that murderer have circles hanging off his face?

[LuvNewcastle]

9. I'm seeing the same thing.

And he has a big diamond-shaped thing on his chest. Don't know what that's about.

[starroute]

10. I think it's some sort of watermark

There's a ring of them on his shirt, his neck, and his face. It's too symmetrical to be real -- I think it's just something in the image.

[polmaven]

12. Ummm...

Look more closely. Those are cut outs in the plexi-glass he is standing behind.

[alfredo]

11. Yeah, its from eating too many deep fried twinkies.

[Bette Noir]

14. This guy perfectly illustrates my first question about white suprematists.

Look at him. Who does he think he's superior to, and by what criteria?

He doesn't look like much of a specimen to me.

[Ian David]

16. He could rule Jaba The Hutt's planet. n/t

[austin78704]

22. He's twice the man

most people are!

He might even be pushing triple.

[Bitwit1234]

18. I keep telling ya" the tea bags are only an updated version of the KKK

[Alcibiades]

20. Whoa!

I had not heard about this case. For those who have not seen him with his new haircut and body modification, see this:

23. Update: Brockton standoff ends peacefully

Brockton standoff ends peacefully

Nearly a year after being dragged from his previous apartment on Chatham West Drive, David Luke, father of accused spree killer Keith Luke, was again taken from his Brockton apartment by police on Monday, but this time inside an ambulance.

<snip>

Nick Vega, 27, who lives downstairs from David Luke, called him a quiet person who didn’t mix a lot with the other neighbors.

“He drinks a lot,” Vega said, but he also described him as a man who likes to play guitar and cook, and who received frequent visits from his mother.

<snip>

On Jan. 24, 2009, the same day as his son Keith’s arraignment in the alleged killing spree, David Luke was intoxicated and threatened to kill police officers as he was taken from his previous apartment, authorities said at the time. Police were there to serve a warrant to commit him to a Fall River treatment program.
