Another Neo-Nazi gets busted for making online threats
One less Trump voter in November.
TEXT:
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?"
The charging document notes that "Day of the Rope" is "a frequently cited white-supremacist concept that originates from The Turner Diaries.” A seminal text in the white power movement, the charging document explains that the novel “depicts the violent overthrow of the United States government and culminates in a race war that leads to the systemic extermination of non-whites and Jews.”
“In a functioning democracy, we simply cannot tolerate threats of violence against elected officials,” U.S. Attorney Henry C. Leventis said in a prepared statement. “The charges announced today are just the latest illustration of the [Department of Justice’s] commitment to protecting public servants and upholding the rule of law.”
An anonymous antifascist X account, “trash.city,” originally published the screengrabs of the “Schwetty Balls” posts on an X thread on July 20. The thread noted that an October 2023 story published by the Texas Observer had previously identified Bloyed as the owner of the “Schwetty Balls” account.
