The Boot Boys was a far-right Norwegian neo-Nazi organization from Bøler, a suburban area of Oslo, with connections to individuals in Bergen and Kristiansand. Consisting of about 50 members, it was considered one of the most violent neo-Nazi groups in Norway. They were founded in the mid 1990s and played an active role for many years. The group was known for having racist and xenophobic views.^[1] When the Neo-Nazi community in Bøler was mobilized in the fall of 2000, around 10-12 young men were in control of a restricted area. Demonstrations and marches were being held in the streets, while painting swastikas on buildings and occupying the recreational area. Daniel de Linde was one of the group's leading members. Other members included Joe Erling Jahr and Ole Nicolai Kvisler, who was later convicted of the murder of Benjamin Hermansen on 26 January 2001.^[2][3]
