Right Wing Terrorism Watch - 7 members of violent white supremacist group arrested

[ck4829]

Here’s a new one, even by Hatewatch’s jaded standards: According to newspaper and television news accounts of this week’s Southern California law enforcement dragnet of the Inland Empire Skinheads, two female gang members were placed under arrest in hospital maternity wards. They were having labor induced to ensure their babies were born on April 20 — the 120th birthday of Adolf Hitler.

Nice parenting. Right from the get go.

Less shocking is the news of yet another major bust of a violent racist skinhead gang in the Inland Empire region, which the Intelligence Report first identified as a hotbed of white-power gangs activity in fall of 2005.

According to law enforcement authorities, the Inland Empire Skinheads are responsible for murders, drug trafficking, witness intimidation, home invasion robberies and random, racially motivated assaults committed by prospective members. First documented by Riverside, Calif., police in 2002, investigators now estimate the gang has 30 members and roughly 70 associates, including many high school students.

“The most disheartening and alarming thing is that their only purpose is racial violence,” San Bernardino County Sheriff Rod Hoops said at a press conference.

Authorities said that the gang, whose leader was among those arrested Monday, maintains close ties with the Hammerskin Nation, a powerful nationwide coalition of skinhead groups. Seven members of the skinhead gang were taken into custody, including Raymond Williams, 34, a tattoo artist. More arrests are expected. Williams, who’s reportedly on the National Terrorist Watch List, was arrested at the hospital where his wife was giving birth.

Gang paraphernalia seized during simultaneous raids in two counties included brass knuckles, shotguns, swastika banners, copies of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf and T-shirts displaying the gang’s emblem: two crossed battle axes and the number “95,” which stands for Inland Empire (“I” being the ninth letter of the alphabet, “E” the fifth).

Wasn't there like some sort of report on this kind of stuff recently?

1. Who's the idiot filing suit agains Napolitano for the recent report?

Clearly this is where the most immediate terrorist threat is coming from..

2. And WHAT a report!

Homeland Security issued separate reports on potential domestic terrorism from the left and
from the right. The RW screamed PERSECUTION! over the report about them, and said not a peep
about the one on the left. According to the RW, there is no threat from the right, therefore
the report was only a precursor to interning them all in concentration camps, etc etc. I read
some guest blogs and comments on Richard Viguerie's site today (had an hour to kill), and there
really is a vocal minority who believe nothing they hear from sources outside of FOX or National
Hate Radio is true, and EVERYTHING they hear on FOX and National Hate Radio IS true.

And so: all the stories about what happened above are all exaggerated lies to the RW, and if you
shove the physical evidence under their noses, they would would rather cut off their noses than
smell the coffee.

4. They *enjoy* being "persecuted"

and thus they have willingly attached themselves to these hate groups. I doubt even Beck or Limbaugh really thinks neonazi skinheads are harmless, but they jump on anything that can be twisted into persecution, even if it means equating themselves with hate groups.

3. Now just stop posting this stuff. You don't want to give RW extremists groups a bad name, do you?
