A group of white supremacists allegedly attacked a black Seattle DJ during a possible celebration of the death of neo-Nazi Robert J. Mathews.
The Associated Press reports the attack, which happened in the Rec Room Bar and Grill on Saturday, followed an attempt by the group to take over the DJβs equipment. After the DJ refused to relinquish the mic, the group brutally attacked him, stomping on him and screaming slurs, and also injured an Asian man who tried to stop them.
Suggested Reading
Out of a group of roughly 20 who were hanging out at the bar, nine were arrested in connection with the attack. Itβs possible the group, which included people from βWashington, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Illinois and Oregon,β per AP, was celebrating βMartyrβs Day,β marking Mathewsβ 1984 shootout with the FBI, which led to his death. He had run white supremacist group βThe Orderβ in the year prior.
One of the suspects for Saturdayβs attack, Travis David Condor, had previously been βsentenced to 90 days in jail for beating a homeless man with a baseball bat in Cincinnati,β per the AP. He had been βphotographed attending the βUnite the Rightβ rally in Charlottesville, Virginiaβ last year, writes the AP, and now thisβlook at our justice system at work!
Condor alsoβshit you notβruns a record label, American Defense Records. Iβm just spitballing here, but maybe they attacked the DJ because they wanted to play some of their classic bops, such as βLiberals Can Dieβ by Nation of Suspects, or βStrength Thru Hateβ by Blood in the Face, a skinhead anthem decrying the βanti-racist faggotsβ who want to shut them down.
I didnβt make those songs up, by the wayβjust listen to these hits! (Warning: These songs are egregiously shitty. Oh and theyβre also wildly racist and NSFW, but more importantly, goddamn, they are not good.)
Just listen to those vocals. I donβt dislike metal, but this dude just sounds like he inhaled a cough drop by mistakeβprobably because of some niggerβand started screaming into a mic. No power behind those growls at all. And I donβt know, βLiberals can dieβ as a hook is kind of weakβlike, of course they can! So can everyone. Weβre human! Not sure Iβm loving this shallow dive into human mortality, guys. 1/10.
Is this like, β7/11β for skinheads? Do they get hype to this? Is there a skinhead shuffle? Do skinheads dance, or do they just two-step?
Maybe they can mosh in prison together!
