While only [Todd Jeremy Christian, a 45-year-old with an Austin address] was arrested, video evidence shows at least eight people were involved in the apparent assault on the group of family and friends. Of those eight, the Observer and Bellingcat have identified five—including Christian—as members or supporters of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT), a white supremacist prison gang founded in the 1980s that is unrelated to the original Aryan Brotherhood.

Caldwell County District Attorney Fred Weber told the Observer that the “incident and circumstances leading up to the assault remain under investigation” and that “if warranted by the evidence additional charges may be filed.” Weber said he could not comment on whether additional suspects beyond Christian had been identified.

      It’s weird, I never see the Klan AND the police in the same room.

      I also never see that Clark Kent fella anytime Superman’s around. Not a very good reporter if he keeps losing stories about the Big S man to that Lois Lane chick. They should really look into where the fuck Clark Kent’s off to during these pivotal moments.

      Maybe he’s trying to copy that Peter Parker kid’s method, he’s never around when Spider-Man is and yet he always gets such great pictures of the guy.

      Or maybe, just maybe… it’s why I ALWAYS see Dr. Eggman and Dr. Robotnik in the same room? Ya know, cause they’re the same fucking person making literally no effort to hide it.

    Having “mixed-race” (I honestly hate that term) kids, this is one of the things that I worry about living in the part of the South that I live in. They are still babies, but I worry about putting them in public school when it comes time. The direction that the country is going and the fact that people like this are so emboldened now is absolutely terrifying.

    Edit: Was tired. Misspelled a word.

      I’m surprised they used the term “Mixed-Race”, isn’t the proper term “Interracial” or something? Mixed-Race just makes me think of the term “Race Mixing” which is one of the louder dog whistles you hear Nazis using.

        Well they were all tubing down the river. Hard to be packing heat in your swim trunks and rented inner tube.

          My dude that’s what the spare-tube-with-the- cooler-in-it is for. Slide a double-bagged ziploc surprise in there and White Aryan Texas Whatevers won’t be fucking up for too long.

          Of course you’ll be plastered, so the odds that it all goes terribly wrong are still pretty high. Common sense dictates: Do Not

    Given what we know about American police I’m surprised didn’t arrest the victims for intimidating these fine patriots with their highly political choice of skintone /sarcasm

    Sorry, did that joke not land? I’ll see myself out by calling ACAB.

    Seriously though, even I feel a weird taste in my mouth for even jokingly referring to these guys as fine patriots, but… eh fuck it, only complete shitbags call themselves patriots these days. I mean it’s even Homelander’s name in European regions.
