An autistic Florida teen who knocked a school staffer unconscious for threatening to take away his Nintendo Switch has filed a lawsuit against the district, accusing them of failing to meet his needs. Brendan Depa, 18, was just 17 when he was caught on video pummeling a teacher's aide, Joan Naydich, at Matanzas High School after she requested another teacher take away his gaming console. Depa was arrested and charged as an adult with aggravated battery on a school employee, a first-degree felony carrying a potential sentence of 30 years behind bars. The teen filed a request for due process...

black supremacists have become emboldened in recent weeks after both Irving, who has previously said he believes the earth is flat and pushed unfounded conspiracy theories around Covid-19 A key part of Black Hebrew Israelite dogma is that those of African descent are the real descendants of the biblical Hebrews. That is why they shun the term 'Jews' or 'Jewish' even though they are frequently seen walking around with Jewish insignia on their clothing, including the six-sided Star of David. Hebrew Israelites have even shown hostility toward Jews and other whites who are referred to 'devilish imposters' and adherents of...

In an ongoing effort to legitimize the immature "Whose streets, our streets!" disruption of traffic during liberal protests across the nation, the Southern Poverty Law Center sent out an email which cited a 1965 ruling by Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. who they claim affirmed such behavior under the First Amendment. Oh, and it's also a fundraiser.... Of course as liberals commonly do, relying on the blind ignorance of their own, they left out a significant piece of the ruling that renders their argument moot, if not insulting, because according to Judge Johnson....

The Southern Poverty Law Center,a liberal civil rights organization, cited Stephen Bannon by name as a "purveyor of white nationalist propaganda" in a fundraising letter it sent soliciting help in fighting back against hate groups. Further, Dees says Trump's victory has been interpreted as a "license to harass and intimidate minorities."

On August 9 Hal Turner is scheduled to go on trial in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, for allegedly threatening three federal appeals court judges in an Internet blog post. For the past several years, Turner, an Internet radio shock jock, has been one of the top purveyors of incendiary racist bombast. He has been dubbed the “Host of Hate” by the Southern Poverty Law Center and has provided the SPLC and other left-wing activist groups with a handy image to use in smearing conservatives. The major problem for prosecutors is that Turner was on the payroll of the...

Flash back to the end of March, when the authorities hauled in nine members of the Hutaree, a Christian paramilitary group, and charged them with plotting a mass assassination of police officers. The media quickly added the arrests to the ongoing narrative of "rising right-wing violence," with the Michigan-based militants cast as the leading edge of a smoldering paramilitary threat. Newscasters and columnists touted a report by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) claiming that the number of anti-government "Patriot" organizations is skyrocketing. An "astonishing 363 new Patriot groups appeared in 2009," the center declared, "with the totals going from...

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) (a very, very, very left-leaning organization) has taken it upon itself to "point out" just who these right wing "patriot" groups really are and their definition of the word patriot is equivalent with sedition, or acting with intent to overthrow the government of the United States. If you just happen to be vocal about criticizing the government (or God Help you, Obama himself) and equate his and their policies to the acts of a tyrant, a dictator, or a socialist/Marxist, you are, no doubt, on the SPLC's list, for all to see, even the...

Intelligence Report, Spring 2010, Issue Number: 137 The Intelligence Project identified 512 "Patriot" groups that were active in 2009. Of these groups, 127 were militias, marked with an asterisk, and the remainder includes "common-law" courts, publishers, ministries and citizens' groups. Generally, Patriot groups define themselves as opposed to the "New World Order," engage in groundless conspiracy theorizing, or advocate or adhere to extreme antigovernment doctrines. Listing here does not imply that the groups themselves advocate or engage in violence or other criminal activities, or are racist. The list was compiled from field reports, Patriot publications, the Internet, law enforcement sources...

News reports from Washtenaw County, Michigan suggest at least one member of the Hutaree Militia has been arrested in a multiple location operation which include the FBI and Homeland Security.

Here is video last night of Bill O'Reilly defending CNN's Lou Dobbs against demands by The Southern Poverty Law Center that Dobbs be fired for his treatment of the Obama Birth Certificate issue. O'Reilly said he had investigated the issue himself a year ago a found it is "an absurd story," and "totally bogus." But O'Reilly defended Dobbs' right to free speech, and said it is not right to demand his firing just because one finds his speech offensive. O'Reilly talked with a representative of The Southern Poverty Law Center. . . . (Watch Video)

NEW YORK -- Anti-immigrant sentiment is fueling nationwide increases in the number of hate groups and the number of hate crimes targeting Latinos, according to a watchdog group. The Southern Poverty Law Center, in a report being released today titled "The Year in Hate," said it counted 888 hate groups in its latest tally, up from 844 in 2006 and 602 in 2000. The most prominent of the organizations added to the list, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, or FAIR, vehemently rejected the "hate group" label and questioned the law center's motives. FAIR said the center was using smear...

Illegal Immigrants Win Arizona Ranch in Court By ANDREW POLLACK DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 18 - Spent shells litter the ground at what is left of the firing range, and camouflage outfits still hang in a storeroom. Just a few months ago, this ranch was known as Camp Thunderbird, the headquarters of a paramilitary group that promised to use force to keep illegal immigrants from sneaking across the border with Mexico. Now, in a turnabout, the 70-acre property about two miles from the border is being given to two immigrants whom the group caught trying to enter the United States illegally....
