A total of 68 people were indicted as part of the “Peckerwood gang,” Estrada confirmed. Of the 68, a total of 42 are in custody.
...
The Peckerwoods are based in the San Fernando Valley, Estrada confirmed, and get their name from a derogatory term used against poor white people and Caucasians in the prison system.

They also collect Nazi paraphernalia...and then display the symbols on their tattoos, clothing and through social media posts. They also display the symbol “88,” which is the numerical symbol for “Heil Hitler,” Estrada said.
...
The U.S. Attorney cited one example of one gang member named Ryan Bradford, who was found to be selling drugs and manufacturing explosive devices when he was arrested. A “treasure trove” of white supremacist paraphernalia was also found, Estrada added, including replica Nazi uniforms and posters of Adolf Hitler.
Bradford also allegedly made social media posts indicating he wanted to murder and commit genocide of Jewish people.
“In fact, when we searched his home, we found a notepad that had written as its New Year’s resolution: ‘Bake every single Jew,'” Estrada said. “That’s what this group stands for…that’s what the Peckerwoods are all about.”
The group also used social media to share information about criminal activities and gang rules, identify members in good — and bad — standings and target people who went against them.
“The social media use included a members-only Facebook group and private, direct messages between the gang’s members and associates,” the Department of Justice said...
...
Incarcerated members of the Peckerwood gang have entered an alliance with the notorious white supremacist Aryan Brotherhood prison gang, and many Peckerwood members are also Aryan Brotherhood members, officials added.
Some of those members benefit from an alliance with the Mexican Mafia...

Obviously.
88 is also a number on football jerseys, etc.
It is California... are they animal loving vegetarian drug addicts with a fondness for palestinians like Hitler was, too?
I have a photo of Saddam Hussein taken off a wall in a building in Bahgdad during the war by an Army captain. I framed it.
Will I be arrested?
>> I am a little confused as to what the crime was

Democrats.
“Some of those members benefit from an alliance with the Mexican Mafia...” - thereby proving that Mexicans are white said the soy latte eating leftist on his iPad.
So what were they actually arrested for? It’s not a crime to own Nazi paraphernalia not make white supremacist remarks… that would be Germany.
Just another “the Nazis are here vote Komala!”
I hate SoCal Nazis
Perhaps, as those charges have yet to be proven, and the story doesn't indicate how many members were engaged in illegal activities and to what extent. In fact when considering these accusations, it sounds suspiciously many of these people are being arrested for the crime of wrong think.
Perhaps he is a left wing progressive democrat in the mode of Talib etc. Never Never forget that NAZI stands for National Socialist Workers Party.
Prolly 128 FIBbers not arrested. The usual ratio and all.
“ What’s stopping their arrests?”
What they are doing isn’t illegal?
I have a Nazi dagger that was a bring back by one of my FIL’s older brothers from WWII. Displaying a defeated enemy’s weaponry as a symbol of victory goes back 1000s of years. I hate Nazis as much as I hate Communists and their useful idiot socialists.
"Jungle Bunny!"
"Peckerwood!"
“Surf Nazis must die!”
Our college kids are out on the streets chanting F’ Israel, and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” not even knowing it means killing every single man, woman, and child Israeli Jew, or maybe they do know? They wear their terrorist gang colors, the kiffayas.
Some blacks proudly call themselves the N word. Some gays proudly call themselves "queer."
I assume it's the same thing. It's an in-your-face way of flipping your enemies' insults, and thus taking the sting out of it.
Yes, SoCal is the home of white elitists, or movie stars as they style themselves. Some have even infiltrated religious groups there, like Fictionology.
