Seven men and a woman, all white, were arrested on suspicion of felony hate crimes and other charges in the attack at the Rec Room Bar and Grill, which took place in the early hours of Dec. 8. The date is considered in some white supremacist circles as 鈥淢artyr鈥檚 Day,鈥� marking the anniversary of the death of Robert Jay Mathews, who led the neo-Nazi domestic terror group The Order in the early 1980s.

Search warrants made public in recent days in Snohomish County Superior Court made no mention of the anniversary, although the local sheriff鈥檚 office said in a news release last week that investigators believe the group was in the area for that very reason. Racist skinheads and other white supremacists celebrate the occasion by making annual pilgrimages to Whidbey Island, Washington, where Mathews was killed during a standoff with the feds in 1984. The bar where the attack took place is about 19 miles from a ferry terminal where passengers can catch a ride to the island.

The search warrants, which were reported on last week by , shed new light on the incident, the investigation and the suspects鈥� apparent ties to hate groups. The Snohomish County Sheriff鈥檚 Office announced last week that the FBI had joined the investigation into the attack.

The documents said sheriff鈥檚 deputies were originally sent to the Rec Room bar when someone called 911 reporting that they heard gun shots and that a group of men were beating up a black man inside. When deputies arrived, they saw several people running to vehicles in the parking lot, but the deputies were unable to stop the vehicles from leaving.

Inside the bar, the deputies quickly discovered there had been no shooting. Instead, they learned that a group of racist skinheads had attacked and beaten the bar鈥檚 DJ, who is black. The DJ told deputies that the group had begun trash talking him and trying to touch his equipment, so he asked them to leave. That鈥檚 when the group swarmed him and began punching and kicking him, even after he was on the ground.

鈥淲e will see you, n-----. It鈥檚 over for you,鈥� one of the attackers said to the victim, according to the documents.

By the time the group was finished, the victim was bleeding and in need of medical treatment. One of the deputies wrote in the search warrant that the DJ had cuts on his nose, a swollen left eye and a cut on his left eyeball.

Multiple witnesses at the bar corroborated the DJ鈥檚 account, and some said they saw the group of skinheads throwing up Nazi salutes during the attack. The search warrants said an employee of the bar told deputies he tried to break up the violence but was hit in the head with what he thought were brass knuckles.

Eventually, other deputies caught up with one of the vehicles, a white Toyota Tundra pickup truck, that had been seen leaving the parking lot after the attack and arrested six of the suspects. Officers with the Lynnwood Police Department pulled over a second vehicle, described in the court documents only as a Mazda with a Washington license place, and arrested two more suspects.

A third vehicle seen speeding away from the bar 鈥� a white Dodge Challenger with an Oregon license plate 鈥� has yet to be found. On Monday, Dec. 17, a spokesperson for the sheriff鈥檚 office told the 澳彩开奖 (澳彩开奖) in an email that detectives think the Challenger 鈥渕ay be related鈥� to the attack 鈥渂ut don鈥檛 have any further information.鈥�

Arrest reports for all eight suspects originally listed them as having affiliations with the Aryan Brotherhood (AB), the nation鈥檚 largest and most deadly white supremacist prison gang. While the racist skinhead movement does have some ties to AB, the search warrants later specified that five of the eight suspects were repping the attire of Crew 38.

The crew, which is designated as a hate group by the 澳彩开奖, is made up of racist skinheads who pledge their support to Hammerskin Nation, an ultraviolent racist skinhead group with chapters throughout the nation. The search warrants said the other three suspects also had clothing or patches associated with other parts of the racist skinhead movement.
