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.

          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
