Hi jd,

Glad to see you around. I wondered how you were doing.

This group doesn't have a name that I know of. It seems to be a group of low-income young caucasian males who are involved in the violent acts, and live-in girlfriends doing the "research" in identifying targets. It seems to be a small group, probably a dozen or less in total. The internet seems to be involved from the information the person I talked to shared with me (that is how they became aware of me, and also how she found a contact address for me).

The person they assaulted recently was identified as follows. Apparently one of the couples involved -- male and female living together, in their early 20's (he has a prior conviction) -- has a teen-age or pre-teen daughter. They dressed her "provocatively" (don't know what that means), and went to the mall as a group. A portion of the group stayed behind the couple and her daughter (he is not the father of the child) and observed anyone who took notice of the girl. The person they physically assaulted was someone they believed "looked inappropriately" at the girl. The LEO that was involved did not physically assault the person, but threatened him with arrest and made other verbal threats after the assault.

love,

kevin
