Racicts flyers hit Miami neighborhoods
MIAMI, Okla. – A known antisemitic hate group is believed to be behind a flood of White supremacist flyers hitting Miami neighborhoods. 'The flyers reference several derogatory racial words and phrases against Blacks,' said District Attorney Doug Pewitt. Pewitt said an investigation was launched into the matter. The group 'GDL' is believed to be behind the Miami flyers, he said. The Miami paper drop comes from a similar activity in Joplin. White supremacist and antisemitic group flyers that display a QR code, which links to a website, were distributed throughout both communities. The GDL is known for its paper drops, papering neighborhoods with flyers in an attempt to harass Jews. The Southern Poverty Law Center currently tracks the GDL as a hate group. GDL stands for Goyim Defense League. The Antidefamation League says the GDL is a 'loose network of individuals connected by their virulent antisemitism.' What is known about GDL is that the group includes five or six primary organizers, and has dozens of supporters and thousands of online followers. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Canadian man charged after fight during Nashville neo-Nazi march faces new charges
A man accused of using a flagpole to beat down a bartender who had been involved in a physical altercation with members of a neo-Nazi group July 14 is facing new charges in connection with an unrelated assault. Ryan Scott McCann, 29, of Ontario, who Nashville police identified as part of the Goyim Defense League (GDL), has been held in Davidson County with an ankle monitor since his arrest last summer. He has now been indicted on separate charges in connection with the assault of a 20-year-old Jewish Clarksville man, police said. The GDL, police say, is an anti-Semitic hate group, McCann is charged with one count of assault and felony Civil Rights Intimidation in connection with the newest assault. He was arrested Wednesday. The 29-year-old was previously charged in July with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct in connection with the assault of Deago Buck. The bartender was initially charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, but those charges were dropped on Aug. 6. In the new case, police said McCann got into an altercation with the Clarksville man on July 13 at a 10th Avenue South parking lot, one day before his group's involvement in Nashville demonstrations led to the fight on Broadway. Police said the Clarksville man was standing outside a vehicle occupied by the GDL group, and they were taunting and antagonizing him for being Jewish. During the incident, McCann took off his fanny pack and claimed he did not know how to fight while the Clarksville man was standing in front of him, police said. McCann attempted a "spinning elbow" strike toward the Clarksville man's head and neck, police said, noting the man tried to get away but was kicked at least twice by McCann before he could leave.
