Suspicion in Death of Texas District Attorney Shifts to White Supremacists

Suspicion in the slayings of a Texas district attorney and his wife shifted Monday to a violent white supremacist prison gang that was the focus of a December law enforcement bulletin warning that its members might try to attack police or prosecutors.

The weekend deaths of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, who were found fatally shot in their home, were especially jarring because they happened just a couple of months after one of the county's assistant district attorneys, Mark Hasse, was killed near his courthouse office.

And less than two weeks ago, Colorado's prison chief was shot to death at his front door, apparently by a white supremacist ex-convict who died in a shootout with deputies after fleeing to Texas.

The Aryan Brotherhood of Texas has been in the state's prison system since the 1980s, when it began as a white supremacist gang that protected its members and ran illegal activities, including drug distribution, according to Terry Pelz, a former Texas prison warden and expert on the gang.

The group, which has a long history of violence and retribution, is now believed to have more than 4,000 members in and out of prison who deal in a variety of criminal enterprises, including prostitution, robbery and murder.

I’ll take Mexican drug cartels for a thousand.....

[Portcall24]

I was referring to Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife. My understanding was they were armed at all times and always used the peep hole at home and were being very careful.

I would just say when he arrived to inspect the assailant, the door was kicked in. It’s easy breaching a door and happened fast..maybe a ruse was involved. Just speculating.

Clip clop, clip clop, clip clop.Bang! Bang! Bang! Clip clop, clip clop, clip clop...

” when it began as a white supremacist gang that protected its members and ran illegal activities”

Chicken or egg? The AB originally formed in prisons to protect the white population from powerful black and Mexican gangs.

[kenmcg]

Blame it on the white guys, a prelude for martial law?

[ScottinVA]

They won’t. Not enough Americans are even interested or aware this is a problem. Also, a rather slick strategy of taking the heat off the cartels on this one. Journalists and pols know the cartels are dangerous and ruthless.. they’re not taking any chances with their personal safety.

File this in the for what it’s worth department, but it is interesting.

I am surprised there were no cameras or security system that took video

[Amberdawn]

Apparently he was shot while getting into/out of his car in the parking lot he used EVERY day.

[Flick Lives]

I’m surprised the MSM hasn’t yet blamed the Tea Party for the assassination or the sequester.

[yldstrk]

It’s the Mexican drug gangs

[yldstrk]

if he was packing he didn’t unpack quick enough did he?

[BitWielder1]

The Times Square bomber too was a disgruntled white right-wing extremist, before any of the facts were in.
Then he turned out to be a muzzie.
Mexican gangs routinely takes out whole families.

Look for the white guy in the white van!The D.C. police have a composite sketch!

a violent white supremacist prison gang

Tell me what prison gang, or gangs period are inclusive?

“It’s easy breaching a door and happened fast.”

Which means don’t rely on a weak lock for home security. Buy a BIG deadbolt that slides into the door frame or use angle iron bolted into the door frame where you can slip in a two by four or iron bar. Locate the deadbolt 12 inches from the top or bottom of the door because 70 IQ criminals won’t expect that location.

Both contraptions will hold back fat thugs or battering rams that will allow you sufficient time to finish your coffee and then rack a round in the Mossberg.

[UCANSEE2]

But they’re the only one you ever hear about as being dangerous or scary.

Simple solution. We should no longer put white people in jail.

[Arrowhead1952]

Is this like the “white Van” in the DC sniper shootings??

That was the first thing I thought about too. I suspect the drug cartels may be involved.

[GreenHornet]

Is this for real or is it another example of politically motivated theater with an agenda? Mexican drug cartels being behind this in Texas rings true, trotting out SPLC bogeymen sounds like a stretch.

I agree. Just as the Obama administration hastily manufactured the "offensive You Tube video" excuse to explain the Benghazi terrorist attack, I suspect they are manufacturing the "White Supremist" story, rather than admit the Mexican drug cartels are behind these killings - especially since they are currently trying to push immigration reform, and this could turn public opinion against them..
