Großeinsatz für Feuerwehr und Polizei in Marbach am Neckar: Ein 42-jähriger Mann hat am frühen Samstagmorgen Brandsätze auf mehrere Gebäude in der Schillerstadt geworfen. Mit mehreren selbstgebauten Brandsätzen soll der offenbar verwirrte Mann mehrere Gebäude in der Innenstadt von Marbach am Neckar (Kreis Ludwigsburg) beworfen haben. Darunter sei auch das Polizeirevier sowie die evangelische Kirche sowie ein Wohnhaus, wie die Polizei Ludwigsburg am Samstag mitteilte. Der 42-Jährige verwendete bei seinen Brandstiftungen mutmaßlich sogenannte Molotow-Cocktails. Beim Eintreffen der Feuerwehr befand sich das Mehrfamilienhaus bereits im Vollbrand. Zuvor hatten Ersthelfer den Brandsatz an der evangelischen Kirche gelöscht und die fünf Bewohner des brennenden Hauses ins Freie gebracht. Unterdessen löschten Polizisten die fast zwei Meter hohen Flammen am Eingangsbereich des Polizeireviers. (…) Unmittelbar nach der Tat verfolgten drei Polizisten den Täter und konnten ihn stellen. Bei der Festnahme bewarf der Mann eine Beamtin mit einer nicht brennenden Schnapsflasche. Er führte laut Polizei auch einen Schlagstock mit sich. Er soll die Beamten beleidigt und wirre polizei- und fremdenfeindliche Parolen von sich gegeben haben.

siehe auch: Nach den Brandschlägen in Marbach Schock, aber auch Erleichterung. Ein Haus in Vollbrand, acht Verletzte und Schäden über 500 000 Euro sind die erste Bilanz mehrere Brandanschläge in der Nacht von Freitag auf Samstag in der Marbacher Innenstadt. Der mutmaßliche Täter, ein 42-jähriger Deutscher, wurde festgenommen. Bei der Festnahme gab er polizei- und fremdenfeindliche Parolen von sich. (…) Ein dramatisches Bild für ihn und seine Kameraden: Zwei Bewohner hatten sich aus der brennenden Wohnung aufs Dach gerettet und saßen im Schneefanggitter umgeben von dichtem Rauch. “Sie wurden umgehend über unsere Drehleiter gerettet”, so Schroth. Zwei weitere Bewohner waren im Treppenhaus und wurden von den Feuerwehrleuten ins Freie gebracht, zwei andere Personen waren selbstständig aus dem brennenden Mehrfamilienhaus gekommen. (…) Bei dem Tatverdächtigen handelt es um einen 42-jährigen deutschen Staatsangehörigen, der die Polizeibeamten beleidigt und polizei- und fremdenfeindliche Parolen von sich gegeben hatte. Der 42-Jährige verwendete bei seinen Brandstiftungen laut Polizei mutmaßlich sogenannte “Molotow-Cocktails”. Ob er der Polizei bekannt ist, dazu könne er nichts sagen, so ein Sprecher der Polizei. Dass der Täter der rechten Szene zugeordnet werde, könne er ebenfalls nicht bestätigen. Der 42-Jährige wird im Laufe des Tages auf Antrag der Staatsanwaltschaft Heilbronn einem Haftrichter vorgeführt. Die Kriminalpolizei des Polizeipräsidiums Ludwigsburg hat die weiteren Ermittlungen übernommen.

2 leaders of white supremacist Idaho prison gang Aryan Knights sentenced for racketeering

A federal judge has sentenced two leaders of the Aryan Knights prison gang in Idaho to more than 17 years in prison on racketeering charges, according to the Idaho U.S. Attorney’s Office. Chief U.S. District Judge David Nye sentenced Christopher Foss, 32, to 17 years and six months, and Buck Pickens, 31, to 17 years and two months. Both Foss and Pickens will also serve five years of supervised release after serving prison time. Each was found to have played a leadership role in the Aryan Knights, or “AK,” according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The gang is active in the Idaho Department of Correction’s prisons and elsewhere. The AK gang has white supremacist and white separatist ideologies. Since its founding, the AK gang has expanded and is now believed to have over 100 members, both inside and outside of IDOC custody. “Members of the AK gang have used violence and the threat of violence to target non‑white inmates and other targeted inmates,” according to the news release. “AK gang members also engaged in drug trafficking, extortion, and gambling to generate revenue, which was shared among members.” Foss and Pickens were two of 10 AK gang defendants indicted by a federal grand jury in May 2019 for participating in a racketeering conspiracy, a crime under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act, commonly called the RICO Act. The indictment also included two separate counts for committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering. Both Foss and Pickens pleaded guilty to participating in a RICO conspiracy.

Feds detail Aryan Brotherhood investigation and surveillance as founder of PENI skinhead gang moves for release from California jail

Judge to rule on new motion for pretrial release. In their bid to keep the founder of an Orange County skinhead gang in prison while he faces charges of agreeing to kill a fellow Aryan Brotherhood member — an alleged murder plot that was never carried out — prosecutors revealed new details about the federal investigation into white gangs across California, including the fact that police conducted surveillance of a concert featuring the defendant’s hardcore band. The Wednesday filing by the U.S. Attorney’s office responds to a motion Donald Mazza, 49, for release from the Sacramento County Jail, where he is in federal pretrial detention facing conspiracy charges. The defense motion says Mazza has medical issues, including kidney problems, that make him particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. On Thursday, Chief U.S. District Judge Kimberly Mueller denied Mazza’s petition for release, court records show. Mazza has filed two previous motions for release, both of which also failed. In one of them, he cited assistance from an unexpected ally: the man he was allegedly sent out to kill on behalf of the Aryan Brotherhood, who filed a sworn statement saying he was not the least bit concerned of being killed by his longtime “friend,” Mazza. (…) Mazza, also known as “Popeye,” is a founding member of the Southern California skinhead gang called Public Enemy Number One, or PENI. According to prosecutors, he was one of several PENI members granted entrance into the Aryan Brotherhood “so that the AB could spread its influence and get gang members on the streets.” Last year, Mazza was one of roughly two dozen Aryan Brotherhood members and associates to be indicted on racketeering charges in a massive federal probe into the Aryan Brotherhood. The charges include five murders and four alleged murder plots, all allegedly ordered by high-ranking incarcerated Aryan Brotherhood members. Mazza was charged with agreeing to kill Aryan Brotherhood member Michael “Thumper” Trippe on the order or Ronald Dean Yandell, an Aryan Brotherhood commissioner who allegedly ordered the hit from his prison cell, using a contraband cellphone. During one call with Mazza in August 2019, Yandell allegedly expressed his displeasure that another Aryan Brotherhood member had recently been arrested on unrelated murder charges in San Diego before he carried out the kill order. Mazza was the next hitman in line, prosecutors allege.

Neo-Nazi teenager convicted of preparing acts of terrorism after trying to obtain gun to ‘smash heads’

Boy, then 16, described himself a nine to 10 on the ‘full-on Nazi Hitler’ scale. A teenage neo-Nazi who researched how to convert a blank-firing gun into a lethal weapon has been convicted for preparing acts of terrorism. The 17-year-old, who cannot be named because of his age, joined the Feuerkrieg Division (FKD) online before it was banned as a terrorist organisation. Birmingham Crown Court heard that he rated himself as a nine to 10 on the “full-on Nazi Hitler” scale when questioned by police, but the boy denied planning a terror attack in court. The defendant, from Rugby in Warwickshire, said he “had existed in an echo chamber” of far-right chat rooms, amid mounting warnings about online radicalisation. (…) Detective Chief Superintendent Kenny Bell said the teenager had been discovered by a “covert internet investigator” who engaged with him online and allowed police to identify him from anonymous chats. “He was a member of Feuerkrieg Division, clearly with extreme right-wing violent ideology and trying to accelerate a race war,” he added. “Having become part of that group and got online he was discussing with them how he had the capability to source a blank firing firearm and convert it so it could be used.” Investigators did not identify a target for any potential attack, but said they swooped on the teenager because of fears he would be able to create a live firearm. Prosecutor Matthew Brook told the court the boy had asked an adult friend for advice on where he could buy a blank-firing gun. ”Even before joining FKD, the defendant was interested in whether this was a serious group that could be involved in physical action in the real world, rather than being in his words ‘just an online thing,” he added. Birmingham Crown Court heard that the boy was admitted as a member of FKD after doing an online test where he was asked his opinion of Jews and fascism.

Rechte NRW-Verfassungsschützer Auch Teamleiter nahm an Neonazi-Chat teil

Nicht nur in der Polizei, auch im Verfassungsschutz des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen sollen sich Beamte in rechtsextremen Chats ausgetauscht haben. Diese Annahme teilt Innenminister Reul mit. Nun räumt er ein, dass ein Verdächtiger ein wichtiges Team leitete. Zu den drei Mitarbeitern des nordrhein-westfälischen Verfassungsschutzes, die des Rechtsextremismus verdächtigt werden, zählt auch eine ehemalige Führungskraft. Einer der Beschuldigten habe “eine teamleitende Funktion” ausgeübt, sagte Landesinnenminister Herbert Reul der “Rheinischen Post”. Alle drei seien Beamte im gehobenen Dienst gewesen. Inzwischen seien sie versetzt worden. In einem Fall gebe es ein Dienstverbot. Reul hatte am Donnerstag in einer Pressekonferenz mitgeteilt, dass drei Beamte einer Observationsgruppe des NRW-Verfassungsschutzes unter Verdacht stehen, Inhalte mit “islam- und fremdenfeindlicher Konnotation” in einer Chatgruppe und in sozialen Netzwerken ausgetauscht zu haben. Das betroffene Team war für die Beobachtung von Islamisten sowie Rechtsextremisten zuständig und sei inzwischen aufgelöst worden.

When police violence is a dog bite

An Alabama man killed by a K9 officer was one of thousands of Americans bitten by police dogs every year. Few ever get justice. The tiny pink house was pretty much empty. And run-down and dark, since the electricity had been shut off. Nevertheless, someone was trying to burglarize it, a caller told 911 well after midnight on a Sunday in Montgomery, Alabama. The police called in a K-9 handler and his dog, Niko, to search 3809 Cresta Circle. The dog lunged, found a man and bit down, according to court records. It took almost two minutes for the handler to pull the dog off. And before long, their suspect, a 51-year-old Black man, bled to death. The dog had torn an artery in his groin. The man was Joseph Lee Pettaway, and his family says he was no burglar. He got in trouble for bad checks and served time years ago, but was now taking care of his 87-year-old mother, Lizzie Mae, and helping to repair the pink house in her neighborhood, they said; he had a key and permission to sleep there. Joseph Pettaway’s sister, Jacqueline, comforts their mother, Lizzie Mae Pettaway. Joseph Pettaway died in July of 2018 at a home in Montgomery, Alabama, after being bitten by a police dog. Joe Songer/AL.com The family is suing the city, seeking damages and information about what happened. “I never thought a dog would end up killing anybody, especially a trained dog,” said Walter Pettaway, Joe’s brother. The family also wants public release of the police bodycam video from July 8, 2018, that is described in court documents. The city is fighting to keep the video from going public, arguing in court that it would cause “annoyance, embarrassment” for officers who were acting in good faith and could end up “facilitating civil unrest.” Officials did not respond to requests for comment. Police dog bites are rarely fatal. But in other ways, the case of Joseph Pettaway is not unusual. These dogs, whose jaws and teeth are strong enough to punch through sheet metal, often produce severe injuries. Police employ them not only in emergencies, but also for low-level, non-violent incidents. The dogs bite thousands of Americans each year, including innocent bystanders, police officers, even their own handlers. And there is little oversight, nationally or in the states, of how police departments use them. These are some of the findings of an investigation by The Marshall Project, with AL.com, IndyStar and the Invisible Institute in Chicago. (…) Police dog bites can be more like shark attacks than nips from a family pet, according to experts and medical researchers. A dog chewed on an Indiana man’s neck for 30 seconds, puncturing his trachea and slicing his carotid artery. A dog ripped off an Arizona man’s face. A police dog in California took off a man’s testicle. Dog bites cause more hospital visits than any other use of force by police, according to a 2008 academic analysis of 30 departments.
