Note to wingnuts; If you are going to start a race war, do it in your home turf or in places like Idaho or Eastern Washington, because if you get thrown in jail and you are the only white guy with no friends, you are going to end up with literally a sore ass.

Aww shucks. Maybe he would have been safer if heā€™d been held at gunpoint, been forced to huddle on chilly desert dirt throughout the night, while people yelling at him in a language he barely understood.

Or is this story all made up to try to get sympathy for the white supremacist?

ā€œā€œWe are no longer going to be carrying long arms, we are no longer going to dressed in camouflage, because apparently that makes you a militia, if you do that,ā€ he said.ā€

ā€œā€¦Instead, weā€™re gonna carry concealed handguns while wearing civilian clothes and engaged in organized criminal vigilantism and unauthorized law enforcement activities, which makes us more like the mafiaā€¦plus we have to make sure our guns are concealed because being openly armed might deter any situations that give us a chance to use our guns.ā€

Hopkins: ā€œIt is appalling that people would resort to vigilante violence in order to punish persons with whom they have a political or philosophical disagreement. Oh, wait . . . .ā€

Pssssst! To anyone at the detention facility: you can carve a really bitchinā€™ shiv out of a toothbrush!

(At least thatā€™s what I saw on ā€œOzā€ when I used to have HBO. And not that I would wish this on an unrepentant racist who probably has fantasies about roasting Mexican babies alive and eating them with a bag of Cheetos.)

I know that prison rape is never funny, but am I a bad person for wishing that racist militia leader Hopkins gets assaulted by a 12-inch burrito?

In his video Tuesday, Benvie disputed the characterization of UCP as a militia. He said from now on the group would ditch their rifles and military attire in favor of concealed handguns and ā€œcivilianā€ clothing.

ā€œWe are no longer going to be carrying long arms, we are no longer going to dressed in camouflage, because apparently that makes you a militia, if you do that,ā€ he said.

It was only a matter of time before they adopted the khaki pants/white polos of the rest of the Nazi Klansmen.

This group, however, is gonna have to find a Fat Big ā€˜nā€™ Ugly Tall shop.

Iā€™d say this was damning with faint lawyering.

ā€œI believe that part of it was that he was attacked and they didnā€™t think he was safe here, I just would have to assume that, you know?ā€ Oā€™Connell, a former conservative radio host, added.

Pretty bad when a former conservative ā€œradio hostā€ has trouble summoning up the rabid belief rhetoric.

Sometimes I read articles like these and I wonder if it was failure of our Government to ensure PREA was enacted as it should be. Many are against PREA, until they are not.

So Hopkins was badly beaten in jail by non-white racists.
(Hopkins got a boo-boo that required a band-aid by the jail cell first-aid kit)

Hopkins was transferred out of the DoƱa Ana County Detention Center under the direction of the U.S. Marshals Service on Tuesday.
(Hopkins was moved closer to the courtroom for his court date in 5 days)

ā€œApparently they put him in a pod cell with a group of people and they had just got done watching the article about the ACLU writing about him being racist"
(Folks in lockup routinely check ACLU feeds on their prison-supplied cellphones for updates)

Guess which version will be on Fox News tonight?

I donā€™t cheer anyone suffering violence in prison, but it is difficult to work up much sympathy in this specific instance. He has probably spent his life pronouncing that he had the right to say whatever dreadful thing he wanted, and ignored the fact that there can also be consequences to such things.

What a shame. The only weapon against these people anymore is publicity and exposure.

Give them no refuge to hide who they truly are.
