White supremacists accused of planning for 'race war' in Florida

Members of a white supremacist skinhead group called American Front trained with AK-47s, shotguns and explosives at a fortified compound in central Florida to prepare for what its reputed leader believed to be an “inevitable race war,” prosecutors said Tuesday.

According to court documents, members of American Front discussed acts of violence that included causing “a disturbance” at City Hall in Orlando, shooting at a house and attacking an anti-racist skinhead group.

At least 10 members of the group, which authorities described as a militia-styled, anti-Semitic domestic terrorist organization, have been arrested in Florida since the weekend, including at least three people on Tuesday.


The felony arrest charges include paramilitary training, attempting to shoot into an occupied dwelling, and evidence of prejudices while committing an offense. The last charge falls under Florida's hate-crimes law.

“This investigation is a result of our ongoing partnership with local law enforcement and federal agencies in a concentrated effort to stamp out hate crime in our community,” Ninth Circuit State Attorney Lawson Lamar said in a statement Tuesday.

His office said he would not comment further on the case because the investigation is ongoing.

According to a court statement from Agent Kelly Boaz, a sworn deputy for the Orange County sheriff’s office and investigator with the state attorney's office, that was filed in support of an arrest warrant, the group was led by Marcus Faella, 39, of St. Cloud, Fla. He and his wife, Patricia Faella, 36, were among those arrested over the weekend.

“Marcus Faella has been planning and preparing the AF for what he believes to be an inevitable race war. Faella has stated his intent during the race war to kill Jews, immigrants, and other minorities. Faella believes the race war will take place within the next few years based on current world events.”

Much of the information of the alleged plots came from an informant who infiltrated the group in mid-2010.

According to Boaz:

Faella viewed himself and fellow members of the American Front as “protectors of the white race.” He regularly conducted firearms, explosives and military/tactical training at his rural property in Saint Cloud and in the swamps of a Florida wildlife management area.

Faella’s remote property was surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by two pit bulls. It contained fortified entrenchments built from railroad timbers, cement piling and other materials.

Faella regularly held weapons training on his compound, where he also stored water, meals ready to eat and other survivalist-type supplies. During target practice he told participants to visualize the jugs of water they were shooting at as the heads of black people, which he referred to by the N-word.

Read local coverage from WESH

In July 2011, an American Front member from Missouri who was also in the National Guard visited the compound and conducted paramilitary training, including hand-to-hand combat techniques, that he learned from the Guard.

Last November, an American Front member, Jessy Brown, committed suicide with a 12-gauge shotgun on Faella’s property, the informant reported. The weapon belonged to Faella.

In January, a recruit beat up a former American Front member at a local bar for “comments made against the AF on Facebook.” No charges were filed in that case.

In February, Faella started planning to “cause a disturbance” at Orlando City Hall “so the media would report on it and bring new members to AF.” No attack was ever carried out.

Faella also wanted members to “hunt down” members of an anti-racism skinhead group called REDS and “put their teeth to the curb” – an apparent reference to violent acts portrayed in “American History X,” a 1998 movie about the roots of race hatred in America.

Law enforcement became increasingly concerned when the informant reported that Faella and his followers were plotting to attack REDS members during “May Day” protests on May 1 in Melbourne, Fla., and “shoot up” the house of a REDS official.

Fearing that his cover might be blown, the informant destroyed his cellphone after removing the memory card. He fled the area and contacted police.

The May Day confrontation apparently never took place.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a Montgomery, Ala.-based hate watchdog, describes the American Front as a California-based group of skinheads with a propensity for violence. The group was founded in the late 1980s, faded from national headlines in the 1990s and then saw a major resurgence around 2007 under new leader David Lynch.

Lynch was killed by an unknown attacker in his Sacramento, Calif., home on March 2, 2011. In California, the group has shrunk significantly. “Now, most of its activities – and, apparently, most of its members – are in Florida,” the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Mark Potok wrote on the center’s Hatewatch blog.

In addition to the Faellas, others arrested in Florida include:

  • Jennifer McGowan, 25, of Kissimmee
  • Mark McGowan, 29, of Cocoa
  • Diane Stevens 28, of Kissimmee
  • Kent McLellan, 22, of St. Cloud
  • Paul Jackson, 25, of St. Cloud
  • Christopher Brooks, 27, of St. Cloud
  • Richard Stockdale, 23, of St. Cloud
  • Dustin Perry, 21, of Kissimmee

    I am hoping the prosecutors in this case have more than we have been told so far. Otherwise these people are going to walk!

    It is not illegal to own firearms.

    It is not illegal to own AK-47's.

    It is not illegal to stock ammunition's.

    It is not illegal target practice.

    It is not illegal to own K-rations or C-rations.

    It is not illegal to have Nazi Tattoos (even if not smart).

    It is not illegal live 5 miles down a dirt road.

    It is not illegal to put walls, fences, barriers up on ones own property.

    Surely the prosecutors have more than this! If they do not, then why the arrests now? Politically motivated? To Obamas advantage - you bet!

    Actually, Whites are allowed to be racist, as guarranteed under the First Amendment; they're just not allowed to violate the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The problem is that some racist whites think the First Amendment gives them the freedom to violate federal laws such as the Civil Rights Act, and to kill people and incite civil unrest as these folks tried to do.

    The fact remains that he was arrested and is NOT free to follow up on the 'bounty'.

    It might not have been for the bounty, but I would not be surprised if that might have been partly a factor; with the Martin case being such a divisive hot-button topic currently, the government can't be seen to be 'taking sides' in the case. I do believe it's at least going to be mentioned in the guy's arraignment.

I can tell you personally that NONE of them would have the time or the money to plan any terrorist attack--they are all avid Dungeons & Dragons/World of Warcraft fans and haunt eBay regularly looking for re-enactment items. They meet once a month and have a good old fashioned Norse war complete with period costumes and wooden weapons once a year.

With all the anti-white violence and rheteric, I don't blame them for preparing, just trying to act out. You should check out the black liberation organization and new black panthers and see what they have going, it will open your eyes. Get educated before you spew please. The definition of racism is the hating of another for the color of their skin. So why do only whites get the label when there are latino and black groups that call for violence on whites?

Since when is that a crime? Can someopne be arrested for preparing to defend their home against a burglary?

    I also see comments that they need to be arrested for racism. Like it or not folks, racism is not illegal. These people should, and probably will walk on these made-up charges. The fact they were arrested should scare everyone on all sides of the debate. This is beyond illegal on the part of the police. I'm not supporting them, but the next in line could be someone you support, or even you. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but arresting someone for having racist thoughts is beyond scary and the government has crossed the line and it is they who should be brought to justice.

I understand that in America people have the right to be idiots and racists, but if you don't think a group of people preparing to go to war with our own citizens don't need to be looked at and possibly arrested (they did shoot up an abandoned house correct?) then you are probably taking that notion a little too far for one reason or the other.

    because heaven forbid anybody makes it clear that since president obama was elected, there has been an average of one act of terrorism a month by people who are demonstrably influenced by, and sometimes connected to, the current republican party and its relevant leaders.

    heaven forbid anybody makes it clear that on the 'other side'? crickets and tumbleweeds. unless of course, you want to count being glitter bombed.

    I do not condone the beliefs of this group..........BUT,

    they arrested them for TALKING about these thing even though they made no attempts to actually do any of them? and since when is paramilitary training against the law in our country?

    sounds to me like the police jumped the gun and did a poor job. they are going to get off without even a slap on the wrist.

    people can believe there will be a race war, they can believe the world will end in 2012 too. they are allowed to prepare for whatever. but unless they actually do something to hurt someone or violate their rights...............then they didn't actually do anything wrong.

    if big brother was sitting in on everyone's discussions with like minded people, half of our country might be in jail. this informant thing is starting to more and more reek of entrapment.

    not the best police work ever, by the sound of this article.

    cc in st louis.....Al Sharpton is as much a Jew-hating bigot as the lovelies pictured above. I lived in NY during the Crown Heights pogrom (the liberal media called it "riots" but I can tell you the Jews weren't rioting, it was all one-sided so that makes it a pogrom). Sharpton appeared at a church in Brooklyn and he said, "We want the Jew and we want the Jew now". This was in reference to the driver of the car that killed Gavin Cato, the incident that started the pogrom. He didn't say "we want the killer", nor did he say "we want the beast who killed Gavin Cato". He said "We Want The Jew!". If that's not the ranting of a racist, bigoted piece of you know what I don't know what is.

    Come on folks, READ the article. They never shot into a occupied dwelling. They "discussed" a few things but DID NOT carry out a single thing. I wonder why the "insider" really destroyed his phone and chip... could be he can't back up a single thing! ALL of this is based on information from one source. There is not one single thing mentioned that amounts to physical evidence. There is evidence of stupidity but if that was illegal most of the posters should be locked up.

    To those who say they did "nothing wrong" (Pete)...uh being a racist is wrong..period, I will assume you meant they had not done anything illegal.

    To those who say they had the right to think, plan, prepare for all this but because they did not get to actually do it. By your logic anyone who plots to blow up a building but does not actually follow through is 'just exercising their rights" That would include Terrorist Cells fueled by Extremist Middle Eastern Groups in the US. By your standards they would not be guilty of anything until they actually did it.

    The only difference is those supporting that theory here, are actually just supporting the 'thought' processes and attitudes of these filthy pigs.

    Are you guilty when you buy a gun to kill your wife with? Not according to you, you are only still thinking about it. You could go deer hunting instead.

    Are you guilty when you make a plan to kill your wife, figuring out a opportune time and location? Not according to you, you are only still thinking about it. You may just be considering the possibility.

    Are you guilty when you take your gun to that location and wait for her to appear? Not according to you, you are only still thinking about it. You could decide to go home instead.

    Are you guilty when you point that loaded gun at her from the bushes? Not according to you, you are only still thinking about it. YOu have not yet pulled a trigger.

    Only when you actually pull the trigger have you done it. UNtil then you were only plotting, thinking, planning etc.

    For those of you, arm chair lawyers, there's something called "Allegiance to the United States". Furthermore, there's something called "Allegiance Guidelines", this is to determine whether or not you are loyal to the United States. Some persons proclaim their allegiance to the United States while their actions
    clearly demonstrate disloyalty. Similarly, some antigovernment militia members, white supremacists, and tax protesters refer to themselves as Patriots. They defend a distorted interpretation of the Constitution, while actually undermining the Constitution by taking the law into their own hands and trying to force their values on others. While professing loyalty to the "country," many of these self-styled "Patriots" reject allegiance to what they view as an illegal government.

    If you are ever interested in educating yourself a bit, the following is extracted from the Allegiance to the United States Guidelines and are considered "potentially disqualifying conditions":

    a) involvement in, support of, training to commit, or advocacy of any act of
    sabotage, espionage, treason, terrorism, or sedition against the United States
    of America;

    (b) association or sympathy with persons who are attempting to commit, or
    who are committing, any of the above acts;

    (c) association or sympathy with persons or organizations that advocate,
    threaten, or use force or violence, or use any other illegal or unconstitutional
    means, in an effort to;

    (1) overthrow or influence the government of the United States or any
    state or local government;

    (2) prevent Federal, state, or local government personnel from performing their official duties;

    (3) gain retribution for perceived wrongs caused by the Federal, state,
    or local government;

    (4) prevent others from exercising their rights under the Constitution or laws of the United States or of any state.

I am just curious because it sounds like you are living in a dream world and I was curious because here in reality, the skies are a sad shade of trouble.

    Sharpton and Jackson have been in the headlines many times and each time it was to support someone against someone and that "against someone" was white in most if not all cases. They are racist as racist can be towards whites. Oh how I wish MLK was still alive. I truly believe that he would have maintained a much better world that we currently live in.

    There will always be prejudice wherever we go and there will always be some level of judging towards each other because that is the human race, and it does not matter if you are religious or not, everyone does it and it does not make you a bad person but to think that it does not exist through these people is pure ignorance. That is another reason why we are in such a melee of a society as we are. Sad

    @jasonfin

    I appreciate you reading my post (honestly) and I thank you for the comment. Yes, I did wonder about the evidence against them, but none of that is listed in the article, and I am only commenting on the article.

    Also, the impression I got (from the article) is not that they were going to start a race war, but that they were preparing for one that they believe is inevitably going to come. Crazy or not, that is still their right if they so wish to exercise it. I know folks from various races who believe a race war is coming and is the next civil war. I guess we should lock them up.

    It also stated that one of the charges is for para-military training. What? Illegal? The article didn't say they had assault weapons, it said they trained. If all of this is the case, they walk, plain and simple.

        Produced the Most republican revered President in the Nation (Ronald Reagan)

        Cali was mentioned as well for the Leaders of this group they came out of the Southern Part of the State L.A. area. And the leader had moved to Sacramento Northern California and was killed. In the More Conservative (R) part of the state. Away from the largest Gang the Mexican Mafia. And closer to the Racists groups. Most likely by one of his own, POWER STRUGGLE

        As for the race part. Most of the California Gangs have members of other Races in them. And there is laws in place even for them Called injunctions. Where they cannot be seen hanging out with other known members of a Gang. Or they get arrested for just that hanging out.

        These people who join groups like this are one in the same with gang members. People filled with hate for others. Brainwashed by others. And have contempt for society at large. They are not freedom fighters or Patriots. If they were they would know that every RACE in AMERICA has put their Life on the line at one point for our Country.

        Just take a look at our Service members.

        In no way do I support these tools, but it just seems a bit one-sided when it comes to "racial aggression". Hell, its completely the opposite now days, white people have to put up with it every single day listening to snide comments on TV and Radio, jokes, racial hate, etc., and the best part is they're not allowed to say anything back because that would be racist and disrespectful. I mean really, think about it, if caucasians talked 25% of the sh** that is talked about them, directed at african americans or hispanics, look out.. LA Riots all over again. Are whites rioting the streets because they hear the constant racial hate from people like Kanye West, Al Sharp, Jesse J., Oprah, Jay-Z, etc., no, they're not. They're expected to just take it.

        I'm not racist at all, but everyone should have to abide by the same respect and laws no matter what race they are. Its the simple fact that people CAN get away with it, that they do. Its almost as if its perfectly acceptable to be racist towards white people now for sh** they had no part of 100 yrs ago, same goes for the people that are being racist, drop it for gods sake, no one alive is responsible for it. White people are the punching bag now and anyone and everyone can legally be racist towards them without incident or consequence.

                  I am so ashamed of what MOST of America has become. There's not a damn thing wrong with being white & proud. For those of you out there on your soapbox/high horse about racists being poor white trash with a low IQ... I pull in about $50K/yr with a 121 IQ. Well, you know what?? There's a reason stereotypes exist! ALL of the minorities I've encountered (enough) have proven them all true. If some of you "equality, bleeding heart" people would open your eyes & go back to your WHITE ROOTS, all of these things I'm saying, you will see are true. I questioned why my family felt & acted the way they did when it came to racism, but the older I got, the more observations I made on my own. Guess what ... they were spot on.

                  Those people did NOTHING wrong ... except have an idea. What's wrong with a lot of people on here?

                  Doesn't anyone leave their house? Walk down the street? Shop? Notice how people behave & see that they think it's okay, or they're entitled. Which is complete BS!! They behave like f*cking animals! It's digusting! All of you other whites who support & defend their antics, MAKE ME SICK! I hope you realize (but I know you won't) that they laugh at all of you.

                  Good freaking gosh. There's white racism going down and people automatically think that only white republicans can be racist? That's the biggest piece of ignorance I have ever read.

                  I live in a predominantly repub area and I know very few racists. But I'll tell you what, in my travels I've met blacks who are racist, Native Americans who are racist, Asians who are racist, etc etc. Racism exists in all races. To limit it to one race or one political party is to join in on the discrimination yourself. Perhaps people don't remember that it was a Republican president who abolished slavery and went to war with the south on it.

                  Just to clarify, I'm not Rep and I'm not a Dem either. Issue voter, here. I could care less about the party line. I'm willing to admit when someone has better ideas about something.

                    Want a race war, be very careful about what you wish for, it will not be lengthy. 13% vs. 87% does not make for a long drawn out war. Why is it that black racism is accepted and white racism condemned. Is it just a given that its ok for blacks to be racists because of sins of the past. For the last 30 years we've been conditioned to believe that its ok for blacks to hate whites because of slavery, and every time blacks scream racism whites should cower and give them whatever they want. These guys dont look like they are willing to cower.

                        The first permanent black slave in America (USA) was owned by a black man. A black man sued in court that his slave should be permanent and he won. Also, many slave traders were black & Hispanic. It was not uncommon for one African tribe to capture another tribe and sell them to the slave traders. Although there were white slave owners in North America, the majority of slave owners in South American were Hispanic. I would say multiple groups were responsible for slavery. Also, no one in my family ever owned a slave. So don't group in all white people as "we".

                        AL , well said. Capturing nations all have a history of slavery. Slavery is wrong. To focus on a three hundred year span in only one nation cheapens the fight. As for Faella , did he research his own name for Italian "immigrants"? I think not. As for slavery , we , in the 99% are slaves. The 1% has devalued or dollar to the point of being almost useless. How many of you "slave" everyday to make ends meet?Slavery is a way of thinking also. It embodies a feeling of hopelssness leading to a feeling of uselessness , lack of empowerment and frustration. The 1% has done this to us. We are getting our power back. As for these " Supremacist" groups. Supreme is fanciful thinking. They are not "supreme" they are inferior. The only group I need to be a member of is the human race.

                        Sedition

                        In law, sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority to tend toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interests of sedition.

                        Typically, sedition is considered a subversive act, and the overt acts that may be prosecutable under sedition laws vary from one legal code to another. Where the history of these legal codes has been traced, there is also a record of the change in the definition of the elements constituting sedition at certain points in history. This overview has served to develop a sociological definition of sedition as well, within the study of state persecution.

                        The difference between sedition and treason consists primarily in the subjective ultimate object of the violation to the public peace. Sedition does not consist of levying war against a government nor of adhering to its enemies, giving enemies aid, and giving enemies comfort. Nor does it consist, in most representative democracies, of peaceful protest against a government, nor of attempting to change the government by democratic means (such as direct democracy or constitutional convention).

                        Sedition is the stirring up of rebellion against the government in power. Treason is the violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or state, giving aid to enemies, or levying war against one's state. Sedition is encouraging one's fellow citizens to rebel against their state, whereas treason is actually betraying one's country by aiding and abetting another state. Sedition laws somewhat equate to terrorism and public order laws.

                        is a crime and is illegal. It also is considered terrorism and covered many laws and under the Patriot Act offenses which can get those arrested for sedition indefinite jail time without respresentation or court time and result in the stripping of their US citizenship with deportation. The Patriot Act and its additional legislature that enhances it doesnt care if you are 10th generation American, born and bred here ... you can still be stripped of your US citizenship and be removed from US soil.

                        I do not know how they decide where you will be deported to ... most likely where your original immigrant ancestor immgrated to the US from ... which can make it interesting since so many Americans have ancestors from different originating countries. Will the paternal ancestry superced the maternal? or vice versa.

                        In any event, our country can now detain them without a trial or an attorney indefintely before kicking them out of the country, stripped of their US citizenship for seditious acts that can lead to treason if they do take action and initiate a white supremist rebellion against the USA's sovereignty.

                          It's almost guaranteed that if any black person or group of blacks commit any crimes(and are identified), they will be arrested and tried(and many times given harsher sentences).

                          Remember the days(not that long ago) when innocent blacks were arrested and railroaded/convicted because they "fit the description"(sometimes with no solid evidence)?

                          There is a piece of upcoming legislation called the Enemy Expatriation Act

                          Basically what his says is that any USC, whether native born or naturalized, can have citizenship stripped or revoked if:

                          1. They have obtained naturalization in a foreign state after turning 18

                            I do not know how they decide where you will be deported to ... most likely where your original immigrant ancestor immgrated to the US from ... which can make it interesting since so many Americans have ancestors from different originating countries. Will the paternal ancestry superced the maternal? or vice versa.

                            In any event, our country can now detain them without a trial or an attorney indefintely before kicking them out of the country, stripped of their US citizenship for seditious acts that can lead to treason if they do take action and initiate a white supremist rebellion against the USA's sovereignty.

                            Those who had prior citizenship in another country would likely be deported back there, or if they were born in another country could be deported there. However, for anyone arrested who is a US citizen born and raised and has no other country to go to, it's supposed to be military detention until the War On Terror is over.

                            However that's if they follow deportation laws, which is questionable given their current track record for deporting American citizens to countries they have never seen, been in, or speak the language of:

                            Pedro Guzman, a mentally disabled man born and raised in Southern California, was deported in 2007 to Mexico, where he survived by eating out of garbage cans for three months while his frantic mother searched for him.

                            Lack of proper training of immigration inspectors resulted in their mistaken conclusion that Sharon McKnight’s passport was fraudulent. McKnight spent eight days in Jamaica before returning to New York. While there, her luggage, containing all her money, was stolen. Airport workers contributed money so she could reach family members. Once there, her mother flew to Jamaica from New York to take her case to the US consulate in Kingston. With the help of Rep. Michael Forbes (D-NY), consulate officials determined that the passport and birth certificate, which immigration officials had declared fraudulent, were in fact real, and established McKnight’s US citizenship.

                            When Angela Boneva, a 34 year old, went to renew her passport in 2003, the State Department told her she was no longer a citizen. Boneva's father was born in Indiana, and the US consulate in Bulgaria gave her U.S. citizenship while she was growing up in Bulgaria in 1981. The State Department said that an employee at the consulate broke a rule that required her father to have lived in the U.S. for 10 years before she was born, the Tribune reported. Her father had only lived in the U.S. for six years before his parents moved to Bulgaria.

                            Mark Lyttle, a U.S. citizen of Puerto Rican descent with mental disabilities who was wrongfully deported to Mexico in 2008. Lyttle’s entanglement with immigration authorities began when he was about to be released from a North Carolina jail where he was serving a short sentence for inappropriately touching a worker's backside in a halfway house that serves individuals with mental disorders. Despite having ample evidence that Lyttle was a U.S. citizen – including his social security number, the names of his parents, his sworn statements that he was born in the United States and criminal record checks – officials from the North Carolina Department of Correction referred him to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as an undocumented immigrant whose country of birth was Mexico. Lyttle had never been to Mexico, shared no Mexican heritage, spoke no Spanish and did not claim to be from Mexico.

                            Ernesto Galarza, a New Jersey-born U.S. citizen of Puerto Rican descent was held illegally for three days in the Lehigh County Prison. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents ordered his detention, erroneously believing he was an undocumented immigrant from the Dominican Republic. Galarza’s Social Security card and Pennsylvania driver’s license were in his wallet at the time of his arrest and in the prison’s possession during his detention.

                            Thomas Warziniack was born in Minnesota and grew up in Georgia, but immigration authorities pronounced him an illegal immigrant from Russia. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has held Warziniack for weeks in an Arizona detention facility with the aim of deporting him to a country he's never seen. His jailers shrugged off Warziniack's claims that he was an American citizen, even though they could have retrieved his Minnesota birth certificate in minutes and even though a Colorado court had concluded that he was a U.S. citizen a year before it shipped him to Arizona.

                            It appears that their paranoia stems from their insecurity, which the use of crack may augment, and then manifest itself as "supremacy," the claim of being superior, but actually it is the feeling of insecurity oozing out of the skinheads. That's why they pick on blacks and minorities, which in their delusional minds they see as inferior. But they really are cowards. Thus the need to resort to the fabrication of all sorts of lies and name calling to justify their acts of violence. The danger about these groups does not lie in the actions of small minded skinheads, but in the evolment of Psychos like Hitler and Mussolini, who organized international killing machines. The cure for the skinheads and their kind, lies in having them become aware of how small their minds are.

                            ... I guess George Washington and his army were terrorist too? ...

                            To the British? and the Tories? Yup...! George Washington was not a hero.

                            No suprise at this news. These guys (and others like them) - thrive on the idea they have something worth protecting. Most of them don't have a job, never had one and never held one long enough to understand what its about. Yet preach hate about anyone else on food stamps and welfare - how does that work?

                            They are the kind of people, who - if born a few centuries ago, would have been pirates or held equally laudable occupations. About all they are good for today is bounty hunters and tow truck drivers.

                            They need someone to hate ... its the only to feel better about why they are bottom feeders.

                            As stated - the Police did their job. Unfortunately - they usually reproduce early and often... so there are more where these came from.... they'll be back.

                            I agree totally. These type of people are born in every generation and out of every circumstance. The police were right to do what they do, for whatever crimes they may have committed. These young people have no real reason to be racist except for what some old jail bird fresh out of prison tells thm.

                            Its the same thing that happens to hispanics, the young ones get their ideas from the older ones, usually job-less, jail-birds, who probably are racist after being in jail where the race war thrives. Like caged animals that form new family partnerships to defend from other animals.

                            At almost 30 I am older than all of the people in this article and I have lived in that part of Florida, my question is what has happened to these young pepole that was so bad that they would become racist?

                            What did the jews or blacks, do to them in roughly 25 yrs of life?

                            Did a black guy get a promotion over one them...

                            Oh I know a black guy hit on one of their girlfriends and insted of handeling it like a man, he started talking racist @!$%# to his buddies to get a laugh and cover his inability to manage his own life.

                            I know, one of the girls wanted to be a model/actress but the jews that run t.v. wouldnt allow it...

                            Maybe its just me, but I think this is a valid line of questioning.. My point is that there is a lot of pointless and mis-directed "racism" among young people these days.

                            *example* I dated a girl once and she was taught that blacks and whites did not date each other and the reason was becaues she this girl was a little baby..a group of kids were throwing rocks in the street, one of the rocks hit the front door of her parents house, when the mom saw the boys running away she "noticed" one of them was black...from that momment on, she had this racist attitude that black people were no good and no civilized enough to date there daughter. They then taught this to their daughter and her brother and all the children in the family, bringing up a generation of racist who really dont know why they are

                            Tow truck drivers and Bounty Hunters, can actually make rel money these days in our nation and especially abroad, where American taxpayer dollars pay and have paid billions into doing just that...fighting and killing people in Iraq, Afghanistan and many other places across the nations where the USA is supporting dictatorships and presidential warlords, oligarchy and Monarchy regimes.

                              @wlee:

                              there is nothing wrong with being a bounty hunter, tow truck driver, sanitation worker, or even fast food worker. I respect all those who have integrity, and are humble.

                              If you enjoy your work and do it well, more power to you.

                              The problem is with those who are unhappy with their place in life, taking out their anger and frustrations on others(especially when it's only they holding themselves back). The ones who use race as an excuse or justification to blame others(and try to exalt themselves).

                              No one makes these types drop out of school, use drugs, blame others, and refuse to open a book and educate themselves. the majority of the time, they are responsible for their situation.

                              The difference is that these guys were arrested.

                              The Black Panthers of the 1960s formed a group in opposition to the discrimination of African Americans. I believe that you are referring to the New Black Panther Party that the Southern Poverty Law Center has classified as a hate group. The "Old" group denounces the "New" Group.

                              So, to answer your question, the only apparent difference between the American Front and the New Black Panther Party is the ethnic composition of its members.

                              The United States has NEVER been comprised of just one ethnic group. The question I have is--why don't these group members just buy a lot of land and make their own all-white (or all-black or whatever!) nation somewhere? Why can't they set up their own constitution, government, and infrastructure? They can limit immigration into their country to whatever "race" or group they want.

                              It seems so simple to me. Separate. That's what I do from people I hate.

                              Good question. I guess my thought is the original black panthers were formed due to out-ward and public racism and hatred of the race.

                              Groups like this are created out of percieved threats toward the economic, or social fabric of a race, often engaged in the promotion or training for a "race war" or another "civil war"

                              So, anyone can correct me if I am wrong.

                                Sounds like trumped up charges with nothing really behind it. They are probably trying to get these guys jailed long enough so they don't aggravate the inevitable riots after Zimmerman is found not guilty. Hate groups are annoying but there is nothing illegal about hating.

                                Paramilitary training is one of the charges? Tons of paramilitary groups in Michigan, Idaho, Minnesota, etc...

                                Shooting into an occupied dwelling is another charge? Was this part of their training on their own property?

                                Evidence of prejudices while committing those crimes...well duh, they are a hate group. But when did it become illegal to hate for no good reason?

                                I'm all for bringing criminals to justice but this seems bogus to me. I would protect the rights of a hate group in order to preserve the rights of all Americans. Maybe more information will surface that will build the case against these guys, who knows?

                                I think the phrase, "Conspiracy to Commit..." will appear in front of most of the charges. The article said there was a mole in the organization. Rather than wait until they actually killed someone, the police had sufficient evidence and made their move.

                                Clearly there is more to the story than MSN put in their article. When I lived in Florida, it seemed that the biggest blow to the states economy was lawsuits from bogus arrests, or arrests when the perps would get off for lack of evidence (or maybe I just heard about it more because I lived there). My guess would be that the state has learned from past mistakes and would have enough evidence to make a good arrest - even if it's not mentioned in the article. I could be wrong, but a lot of the news articles I read on MSN can't be taken as having 100% of the facts.

                                This seems bogus to YOU because you're not black or an immigrant? They are a terrorist group, if given the chance they would have killed indiscriminantly.

                                Bogus arrests? Hmmm, talk about selfcentered dillusional and unpatriotic. Y'all would have waited until they mounted an attack and finally killed a few people and maybe even some of you white folks (I'm white and appalled by the racist scum in this country like cockroaches).

                                These people are NAZIS and that's for real you dumb asses and they couldn't be more antithetical to American democracy and Christianity! So the racists posting here support Nazism while pretending to be god fearing! Very funny but also appalling and disgusting. If you think these people are harmless patriots then you're idiots. Sorry there is no other word for it.

                                Take a look at them, there isn't a one them that has a soul behind those eyes, they're dead morally and spiritually. Just what is so supreme about these white folk? Not a damned thing except they had an arsenal of weapons.

                                I think a lot you need to go back to church for exorcisms. By the way, Zimmerman is still a P.O.S. coward who shot an unarmed teenager there will never be an excuse for that other than Zimmerman and this group of pigs are racist cowards.

                                I didn't know that training for combat was illegal. That is what paramilitary training is, (done right) though planning to comit a crime is against the law. Obviously the mole gathered enough evidence of criminal intent to warrent the arrest of these individuals. Also unless you have a special permit, it is a crime to own or use an assault weapon, especially if said weapon is full automatic. The law enforcment agencies can not wait till these punks actually kill someone to act. They have an obligation to arrest anyone who is guilty of consperousy to comit a crime. The police were just doing their job, so lay off them! Let the courts decide if these "people" are guilty or not. Just don't try them in the court of public opinion.

                                  "Evidence of prejudices while committing those crimes...well duh, they are a hate group. But when did it become illegal to hate for no good reason?"

                                  September 11, 2001 was when it became illegal to hate and to use that hate to plan violent crimes, large and small. It was built on the event of April 19, 1995, when a truck bomb brought down half a building killing and injuring a lot of people.

                                  In the US any person can hate all they want to, it's their problem and it will waste their life, but no one is allowed now to turn that hate into violence against those they precieve to have caused them somekind of harm.

                                  The New Black Panthers are no better than these guys are and are also being watched of that you can be sure and if they start stockpiling weapons and actually planning attacks they will be arrested too. The difference is you can SAY and THINK anything you want, that is a constitutional right in the US. You can no plan violence, that is conspiracy to committ violence, and now it is conspiracy to committ violence for the reasons of hate and comes under the anti-terrorists acts. Patriot Act, heard of it? It's not just about the TSA and what library books you checked out. It also gives the Government the power and right to stop groups like this.

                                        Truth, the truth is that most of the guns held in this country are owned by white people with CCWs and very well armed. You'd better look at the number of gun permits and who they were issued to. These guys are hunters and protectors and I would dare you to try to cross onto a good old boys property. I guarantee you'd be met with the barrel of a gun. These guys hunt and hunt often and know how to use their weapons. They don't hold their pistols sideways. In some southern states, purple paint on a tree means you can be legally killed just for crossing the tree line. I grew up in LA and now live in the south. I don't screw with these country boys old or young.

                                        I was raised in the east but spent alot of time in the south due to being in the military. These "good ole boys" come in white and black. They are country boys who hunt, fish and yes are very good with their weapons (I do not refer to them as guns usually). They just want to be left alone on their land, to raise their families..They couldnt give two flying @!$%#s about all this other stuff. I have met some who wouldnt prefer to be around a bunch of minorites but I met a kid from the south who had never even had a friend who was not white.

                                        I dont want people to lump these guys in with radical terriorist group who seek to start a civil race war and destroy OUR OWN COUNTRY!!!! that goes for any group formed by any race.

                                          You look at these freaks and you think "wow, this is the best the 'white race' can do?" Then you realize that it's Social Darwinism at work. Survival of the fittest.

                                          If these ignorant, pathetic losers are the saviors of the "white race" then I'm afraid the "white race" is doomed from forces within it, and not from the non-white races around it. And if they are, then the white race doesn't deserve to exist because it's not evolving to a better place and really is not fit to exist.

                                          Agreed, however there is no such thing as the "white race." There is only one race and that is the human race.

                                          I hope that they do not end up giving their race any kind of name, even thou they already have but these kids could have been anything regardless of their beliefs ya know? They just chose the wrong way to express themselves, a very dangerous boarderline cult, mass murder type of way. Glad they were stopped

                                          I'm all for locking up these trash bags. But let's make it a two way street to really help this country.

                                          In Lafayette, La on May 5, 2012, in front of quite a few people and in a location that caters to the local college, ULL; a young white girl and young white male, both around 22 years of age were jumped by 10 black men and beaten so badly they are both in the hospital and undergoing their 2nd and 3rd surgeries today. Fractured skulls, crushed nasal cavities, broken jaws, teeth, etc...

                                          Guess what: No Sharpton, no Jackson, no signs of protest, no hoodies, no nothing. Not even a mention on the local news. This is the 4th time in two months young white college kids were beaten so badly by young black male they were not only hospitalized, they now have to skip their next semester of classes. Not one mention.

                                          I don't care if you're black or white; reverse these beatings and you tell me if 10 white males jumped a young black couple and beat them so badly they need multiple surgeries and are now missing a semester in college; what would happen.

                                          It would be a media circus.

                                          I agree. The media is just as responsible as these genetic mutants in trying to propel a race war. They ignore black on white crime. They hype these stories to generate hatred amongst the races.

                                          Well, the men appear from the photos to be lice-free. I guess that's something to make their mamas proud. I can't think of what to say about women that buy into that juvenile, misanthropic type of bigotry. I guess I hope they aren't successful reproducers.

                                            And you idiot liberals dont think the Black Panthers are preparing for a race war? And practicing paramilitary and explosive techniques or shooting at white dummy heads while yelling out f*ck you white Crackers! Why didn't Erick Holders investigators go after the Panthers when they were harassing white voters in the 2008 election or when the panters put a 10,000 dollar bounty on George Zimmerman. I'm tired and everyone else is tired of the white double standard. I think there is a good chance of a race war. Blacks are ignorant to themselves being the racists in America and whites are tired of getting the blame. The obama administration is pathetic.

                                            You can't site the few instances of reverse discrimination to justify your argument.

                                            The history and totality of racism and violence against non-whites by whites in our country far out weigh the reverse. I'm actually amazed at how few instances of retribution against whites there is and has been by non-whites.

                                            I, as a "white" (Anglo-type) person, don't know if I'd have as much patience and restraint. I like to think I would.

                                            I guess what I find so amazing is the absolute ignorance that still exists today, in the 21st century, in one of the most developed countries in the world. Are they not aware of how closely we all are related or how much "white" most African Americans have. The hate on all sides of the color spectrum is apparent, but I must say we whites started it so we need to end it.

                                            I am sorry, what?!! "We whites started it so we need to end it."? We started what? Do you mean slavery? Slavery was around long before white folks had the wherewithal to take slaves.

                                            Yes we white people had slaves in the US, but so did some Blacks. Do you think those slaves were fond of White people, or do you suppose they, I don't know, perhaps HATED their owners?

                                            Most white people never hated black people, they just ignorantly thought they were not equal, and did not want to mix with them. It has always been only a minority that actually "hated" blacks.

                                            Please note it is not White people who march and riot at the perceived insult to one of their own by some one of the “other” race.

                                            Can any of you name a “white leader” who hate blacks as much as Jesse and Al hate whites?

                                            would it be okay to slave and shackle you? and throw scraps to you to eat or to sale your child? that's right blame jesse, obama, the rain the whiskey,the four horsemen,msn or whomever just because someone speaks up about injustice but you wouldn't trade with any slave. many of us hate what our forefathers done and it was horrible. but some as yourself. the true feeling's come out. i hope you don't have a business. because you are probaly a crook that will rip off your own friends to get rich. because you are definitely a racist and you probably know it. i just hope you go to church to save yourself. now can you help your friends that just went to jail?

                                            Well since some blacks had some slaves I guess we had it all wrong all this time. Thanks for clearing that up for us...

                                            By the way, those blacks that held slaves still weren't full citizens, still couldn't vote, still were shunned and excluded from the full enjoyment of civil American society, could have any of the few rights they did enjoy (*LAUGH* like that was a long list) revoked in an instant arbitrarily by an electorate or law official that had no cultural sympathy for them, and was wholly barred institutionally from receiving the same levels of governmental largess afforded Western-European origined Americans.

                                            And that still never even addresses the other bits of white colonialism throughout the rest of the world like the Asian Pacific, South America and the Middle East.

                                            BTW, when was the last time that whites who weren't part of some already marginalized group rioted en masse for anything socially noble in this country?

                                            (Sorry, hockey games, NCAA Basketball championships, and really any event involving cheerleaders, beer bongs, and calling a frat bro to bail you out don't count.)

                                            And I can name several "white leaders" who hate blacks severel (though I cant accept your statement's premise that Al or Jessie hates whites without you establishing the basis of that claim); To start I can say with certainty that not only does Newt Gingrich and Pat Buchanan hate black people, they are gleefully unapologetic about it. Who tells kids to forgo school to learn the janitorial sciences so they can experience what its like to work? There's more poor lazy-azzed white kids in this country than black kids TOTAL so get outta here with that pandering bullshyt already, Child's Play Chuckie...gesh!

                                            Ciewywtb, so when is rioting noble? The Egyptians non white held the Jews non white as slaves, Africans held other Africans as slaves American Indians held other Indians as slaves, slavery still goes on in 2012 but what the heck it's the whites. We will never get past racism until we can accept the fact that none of us chose what color we were born, maybe we should all be blind, that way we would have to depend on each other

                                              I agree with you- and not just because i am native american and i know of the genocides comitted not only on my people but on the black people as well. to add insult to injury now the people who comitted these genocides...and their young do not even properly absorb the blood that is already been dripping. You all can say it doesnt matter but my great great grandma is upon this earth and her eyes witnessed more than half of you will comprehend.

                                              another thing...why are we always bringing up trayvon and lest you all forget it was trayvons mother who asked sharpton to help them, to seek justice for her son. Sharpton marched with MLK dont expect him to cower down to anyone. Insulting the family that just had their son murdered....wow. Empathy is it not being taught in the christian home and church now??? seems that anyone sticking up for hate is just that hate ful btw alot of pple including some tribes and blacks did have slaves,however two evils still equal evil......... we will fall divided this way

                                              Africans sold their own people to the rest of the world. It's not the fault of the white people. The problem is all white people being blamed for that and for dumb ass white people like them thinking they're special, superior. These people need to read The Bible. They're all going to hell for having all this hate in their hearts for their brothers and sisters.

                                              Egyptians were black and had jewish and whites as slaves for 1000 years. The Egypt of today has mostly arabs living there because it was taken over by them when they fell a few thousand years ago.
