One suspected neo-Nazi and three counter-demonstrators charged in Capitol riot

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!!

Prosecutors have arrested a total of four suspects in last year’s riot at the state Capitol, one a suspected neo-Nazi who is also accused of defacing a Colorado synagogue and three anti-fascist counter-demonstrators, including a Berkeley middle school teacher.

The Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office said the two arrests announced Tuesday and two others revealed Wednesday afternoon are expected to be the only ones for now in the June 2016 rally at the Capitol that spun out of control into a riot that left five people stabbed and nine others injured.

One of the suspects is a well-known white supremacist in the Denver area who was arrested last week on charges of defacing a synagogue in Colorado Springs, according to the Anti-Defamation League and police.

William Scott Planer, 34, was arrested July 14 for allegedly pasting a “Fight Terror, Nuke Israel” sticker on the door of the Chabad Lubavitch Jewish Center in Colorado Springs, according to an Anti-Defamation League press release that says Planer originally is from Sacramento.
