One of the three men arrested on the utterly bogus (and laughable if the state had not actually pressed ahead) "conspiracy to stop non-Whites appearing in public" charges, Eric Egbert, has been released from jail yesterday (Tuesday) pending the trial. He must regularly check in with authorities.

The second man, Travis Massey, is set to be released under the same conditions after appearing in court today.

National Alliance chairman, Shaun Walker, is currently under transfer from West Virginia to Utah, and is expected to receive the same treatment as the other two.

It also transpires that a fourth individual, as yet unnamed, formerly associated with the other men, has formed the basis of the state's case.

Im not advocating anything, because all of us are law abiding citizens, but maybe someone should look over here http://www.vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=34751

I hope the FBI paid him more than the paltry 25K a year Evola made.

Judge to release men awaiting trial

He says duo no threat; 3rd arrest sparks reactions

By Geoffrey Fattah
Deseret Morning News
A U.S. District magistrate judge said he will order the release of two men while the await trial on charges they engaged in racially motivated beatings in downtown Salt Lake.
Meanwhile, reaction by both white supremacists and hate-group watchdogs alike to the arrest of a third man — the leader of a national white supremacist organization — began to surface over the weekend.
The Anti-Defamation League hailed the arrest last Thursday of Shaun Walker, the relatively new leader of the National Alliance, as a victory against white-supremacist organizations.
The National Alliance's founder William Pierce, who was best known for authoring "The Turner Diaries" which Timothy McVeigh used as a blueprint for the Oklahoma City bombing, died in 2002. Since then, Walker, who grew up in Salt Lake City, has taken control of the struggling organization.
Walker, along with Utah residents Travis Massey and Eric Egbert, were indicted on hate-crime charges stemming from the December 2002 beating of a Mexican-American man outside O'Shucks and the beating of a Native American man outside Port O'Call in March 2003 in Salt Lake City. Massey is also the Utah head for the National Alliance.
In court Tuesday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Samuel Alba ordered the release of Egbert and on Wednesday did the same for Massey, finding there was no indication the men were a threat to the community or a flight risk.
Alba did indicate he planned to keep both men on a "short leash", ordering them to have no contact with gangs or "racially motivated" groups such as the National Alliance. The men are also ordered to have no contact with witnesses or victims in the case.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Carlos Esqueda argued the men were members of a notoriously violent white-supremacist organization. The National Alliance has been blamed for 22 bank robberies, a shoot-out with police in Illinois and one member was arrested for manufacturing pipe bombs, Esqueda said. The group also espouses the overthrow of the federal government and the systematic extermination of Jews and non-white people.
Alba noted that Massey had no adult criminal history and that Egbert, although convicted for an assault with a knife and beer bottle, had managed to steer clear of violating the law since the assaults in 2002 and 2003.
"These arrests deal another significant blow to the leadership of the National Alliance, which has been wracked by infighting and disorganization since the death of William Pierce in 2002," said Abraham Foxman, ADL's national director. "The allegations that Walker was involved in committing assaults on minorities are serious, if true, (and) demonstrate how the violent racist ideology of the National Alliance not only dehumanizes minorities, but often can lead to acts of violence."
Chatter on white-supremacist Internet forums about Walker's arrest shows that many of them feel the charges are trumped up and that Walker is being brought before the "Jewish legal system," as described by someone on a bulletin board for Resistance Records, a record label that markets white power music that is linked to the National Alliance.
Watchdog groups, however, say that although the National Alliance was at one point the most organized, well-funded and dangerous white supremacist group in the United States, it has since fractured after the death of its founder in 2002. Pierce, who died suddenly of cancer, was a physics professor at Oregon State. Since his death, membership in the group has dwindled from more than 1,400 members to just 200, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Federal prosecutors allege that Walker, Massey and Egbert conspired in a campaign to make minorities afraid to appear in public, to work or even live in Salt Lake City.
Massey and Egbert have pleaded not guilty. Federal officials say Walker will be transported from West Virginia, where the National Alliance is headquartered, to Salt Lake City to face charges. A trial has been scheduled for August.

It appears that Judge Alba thinks there's a lot more smoke than fire in this case. At least he had the dignity to release two of them on basically their own recognizance. Shaun Walker hasn't arrived in Salt Lake yet. Note the Latino surname of the Assistant U.S. Attorney.

I've included the reporter's e-mail address, in case anyone's inclined to communicate with him.

Yeah, usually gang members have extensive criminal records. I'm glad a judge can see through the bullshit.
