A Texas white supremacist has been arrested on a charge of threatening to lynch the district attorney for Nashville and Davidson County, Tenn. The alleged threats by 59-year-old David Aaron Bloyed followed a march through downtown Nashville in which a fellow member of Goyim Defense League was arrested and charged with aggravated assault for hitting a bar employee with a metal flagpole that had a flag with a swastika affixed to the top. Goyim Defense League is a virulently antisemitic group known for provocative public marches that openly display Nazi symbolism and fliering campaigns that frequently result in misdemeanor charges for the group’s members. The complaint filed by the U.S. District Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee on Thursday alleges that Bloyed posted a screengrab of District Attorney Glenn R. Funk’s official bio, accompanied by the text, “Getting the rope,” on the social media platform Telegram under the username “Schwetty Balls.” In another post published under the same username, Bloyed wrote, “The ‘Rope list’ grew by a few more Nashville jews today.” The graphic shows a figure labeled, “the elite,” “Jews,” “anti-whites” and “traitors,” along with epithets for Black people and LGBTQ+ people that is hanging from a gallows. The graphic includes the inscription, “Will You Survive the Day of the Rope?”
