Nelson. The three have either posted bail or were released pending trial. They have all been ordered not to go near the house where they attempted to stage an early evening attack on a well-known antifascist activist that Stonecypher [has] had a grudge against for years. The three ended up getting soundly beaten by that antifa and two others, and they were arrested as they tried to flee.<\/p>\n<p>CHS has a long history in the state of Florida and over the years have engaged in a number of violent acts in the state. They were reportedly responsible for shooting out the window of the Jacksonville, FL club &#8216;Thee Imperial&#8217; to prevent them from having a anti-racist show on Dec. 16, and earlier this year, CHS members Tom Martin, 23, and John Rock, 35, were arrested by the FBI after an informant wore a wire to a meeting and agreed to help them rob a drug dealer in Casselberry, FL. They [?] have also made them into virtual punching bags for antifa and underground music scenesters alike in the state. The most notable incident [occurred] when <a href=\"http:\/\/www.splcenter.org\/intel\/news\/item.jsp?aid=66\">Forrest Fog[a]rty<\/a>, the lead singer of the white power band <strong>Attack<\/strong> and current Army active duty who has done tours in Iraq, was beaten and cut badly by attendees of a show by the Buffalo, NY band <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/snapcase.com\/\">Snapcase<\/a><\/strong>, which is known for being decidedly anti-racist. Coby Stonecypher has been noted by those familiar with him as the right-hand man of CHS&#8217;s leader Ritchie Myers, and has served time in jail on a hate crime charge in 1999 stemming from an assault charge for allegedly threatening a black man in connection with a neo-Nazi gathering at a hotel in Plant City, FL.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, the Hammerskin court date is also the same day that <strong>National Vanguard<\/strong> founder Kevin Alfred Strom will be in court in Virginia <a href=\"http:\/\/www.splcenter.org\/intel\/news\/item.jsp?aid=230&#038;site_area=1\">facing child porn charges<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul><em>Source<\/em> : DLJ \/ <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.onepeoplesproject.com\/\">One People&#8217;s Project<\/a><\/strong>.<\/ul>\n<p><em>See also<\/em> : <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pe.com\/localnews\/rivcounty\/stories\/PE_News_Local_D_hate25.3563952.html\">Hate-crime case award will be hard to collect, experts say<\/a>, Sean Nelson, <em>The Press-Enterprise<\/em>, August 24, 2007:<\/p>\n<ul>A man described as a recruiter for a white supremacist group and the parents and sisters of two men convicted of beating and slashing Randy Wordell Bowen, who is black, were ordered to pay damages&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Some men charged and sentenced in the Bowen case were admitted members of Western Hammerskins, a regional branch of an international white-supremacy group. Roth said he filed the suit to stop Western Hammerskins from operating in the Murrieta area.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Hales, commander of the Murrieta-Temecula Regional Gang Task Force, said the prosecution and civil lawsuits against members and their families likely contributed to the declining visibility of Hammerskins.<\/p>\n<p>Riverside County prosecutors called the attack on Bowen one of the worst racially motivated crimes in county history.<\/p>\n<p>Bowen was struck in the head with a bottle and chased by a group of people &#8212; many of whom shouted racial slurs and Nazi slogans &#8212; during a 1999 bonfire party in the Temecula Valley Wine Country, prosecutors said at the time.
