Questions are being raised after a group of neo-Nazis allegedly attacked a family gathering on the San Marcos River. The incident happened in June at Don’s Fish Camp in the Central Texas town of Martindale.
The incident, first reported by the Texas Observer and Bellingcat, appears to be racially motivated. Video of the attack includes audio where someone can we heard yelling "white power."
Of the eight people involved in the attack, five have been identified as members or supporters of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, or ABT.
But only one person was arrested by a Caldwell County constable prompting criticism of the law enforcement response.
