White supremacists leader imprisoned
The Justice Department says that there are about 27,000 gangs with 788,000 members operating all over the United States.
An undercover ATF agent, pretended to be a gun-runner so that he could enter the dangerous world of the white supremacists which proved to be very violent, and not as interested in the racial border as they are interested in the money. They criminal activity comes at first, robberies, burglaries, drug sales, firearms, arms trafficking are put in front of the white rhetoric and exclusive way of recruiting. The undercover operation lasted for two and a half years, and during this time the ATF agent met the white supremacist gang members from Omaha and its neighborhood and got involved in setting up deals for drugs, guns and ammo. He infiltrated in the Red Suspenders Group, which had eight members led by Jason “Skin” Hawthorne, who has already been convicted three times. In fact, all the gang members have done time in federal prison, which is said to be the breeding ground of the white supremacist gangs. Mark Potok, the Director of the Southern Poverty Law Center says that these gangs grew very numerous in the last 10 or 15 years, as their members started coming out from the federal prison right into the streets. In California and Texas are almost 5,000 white supremacists in prison at this time. And there probably are 50,000 across the entire United States as the experts appreciate.
The undercover ATF agent expressed his concern regarding their continuous thought of violent activity and the lack of respect for the human life. “Operation Red Swastika” undercover ATF agents said that this gang, the Red Suspenders Group, was the worst of all: they use stun guns that are stronger than the ones used by the federal agents, radio scanners and carbon copies of the outfits worn by the SWAT teams. Jason “Skin” Hawthorne and his gang were wearing them in the night they showed up at the undercover agent’s apartment, intending to rob a drug dealer which was actually an ATF agent that set them up. The undercover agent said that they were fully equipped with SWAT outfits, black hats, black coats, pants, black boots, surveillance equipment, and GPS trackers and were also high on methamphetamines, because one of them decided that they should “get ready” for the action. The undercover agent had a very rough night, because while they sat at the table loading guns and smoking methamphetamines, he was announced by AFT supervisor Mickey Leadingham that his wire was no longer working, so they had to arrest all of them as quickly as possible. The ATF stopped the hit before they emerged at the alleged drug dealer’s apartment and the gang was sentenced to a total of 147 years in prison for drug dealing and weapons trafficking. The arrest was made without incident, but Jason “Skin” Hawthorne, sentenced to 32 years in prison, put a prize on the undercover agent’s life.
