Authorities find rocket launcher, pipe bombs during raid on Florida white supremacist gangs
Source: The Hill
Nearly 40 members of two white supremacist gangs in Florida were arrested as the result of a massive drug trafficking sting, authorities announced this week.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida announced Thursday that 39 members of the Unforgiven and United Aryan Brotherhood gangs were charged with various federal firearms and drug violations.
Authorities seized more than 100 illegal firearms, a rocket launcher and several pipe bombs as part of the raid, local ABC affiliate WFTS-Tampa Bay reported. Authorities also reportedly found several pounds of crystal meth and fentanyl.
The investigation, named Operation Blackjack, lasted more than three years and included state and federal prosecutors, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Pasco Sheriffs Office.

(19,199 posts)started paying attention to these domestic terrorists and taking them down. There's more bat-shit crazy assholes like this on the loose in our country than Islamist terrorists, that's for sure. My cousin used to run with people like this, and he still may, but at 72 years old he's more of a terrorist emeritus. He never had the brains to be in a leadership position.
I'm glad they're in custody, and I hope they refuse them bail. These cretins will disappear into the seedy underbelly of dozens of other like organizations in a nano-second, never to be seen again. Keep them behind bars and never let them out, if possible.
