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.

    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.
