Aryan Nations Headed to Des Moines, Iowa? Police Deny Beat Whitey Night Motives

Iowa is in Over Its Head

Sherry Tomfeld
The Aryan Nations may be headed to Des Moines, Iowa. Why? Because the Des Moines, Iowa police department say they cannot confirm racial motives behind the "beat whitey night" assaults at the Iowa State Fair. The Des Moines, Register reports that the police now say that they cannot confirm that anyone said "beat whitey night". This is contrary to the reports immediately following the assaults. An officer was even on TV and said that they were likely racially motivated attacks.

Paul Mullet is the director of the Aryan Nations Church of Jesus Christ Christian. When he heard Rep. Ako Abdul-Samad, Democrat from Des Moines say that there wasn't enough information about the beatings and attacks to call them racially motivated, he said they (Aryan Nations) were going to Des Moines. When asked how many were coming or when they were coming, Mullet said he wasn't going to let anyone know ahead of time. He (Mullet) said he wasn't stupid.

City Councilman Bryan Meyer said he didn't want the Aryan Nations coming to Des Moines. Saying that they could take care of their own problems. Maybe the Aryan Nations view the handling of beat whitey night like the rest of us. It isn't being handled.

Iowans saw this coming. They read it on the web and it went national thanks to websites like FreeRepublic. Yes, Virginia, there are Aryan Nations groups in Iowa. Letting these black on white attacks slide was a big mistake. The news was slow to leak out, but it did and it isn't being dealt with. PC attitudes are going to end up making more trouble than Des Moines is ready to handle.

WHO radio personality Jan Michaelson phone calls from people who say they stand by their accounts of the attacks. They say they heard the beat whitey night comments and they were attacked by blacks.

Reading comments on the Des Moines Register article shows you where people's heads are and how high emotions are running. Many are residents of Des Moines, Iowa and they are not shy about how they feel towards the police department. There seems to be a relationship between at least one policeman and a junior basketball player that was arrested. The muck continues to grow.

The phrase "beat whitey night" seems to have nothing to do with beatings, stabbings and heck, now it doesn't even exist. Iowa is in over its head and the Aryan Nations want to help them.

    ...the struggle among themselves arises less from inner aversion than from hunger and love. In both cases, Nature looks on calmly, with satisfaction, in fact. In the struggle for daily bread all those who are weak and sickly or less determined succumb, while the struggle of the males for the female grants the right or opportunity to propagate only to the healthiest. And struggle is always a means for improving a species' health and power of resistance and, therefore, a cause of its higher development.

    This is just scary stuff. In Des Moines, really?

    Scary group.

    Gotta agree with you, Linda. Even though the Aryan Nation wasn't the perpetrator, they will get more heat than the perpetrators themselves, and the victims will be lost in the dustup. Every group can have organizations for their group but one. I bet you'll never hear this story make national news, but we'd never hear the end of it if it were the other way around.

    These are scary times my friend. The police don't need vigilantes, that's for sure. The days of the Olde West are over and posse's are not necessary.

    I usually don't comment on my own articles..but here goes. I think the door was opened wide for the Aryan to step through. Had officials beamed in on this at the get go, the Aryan wouldn't have a "need" to come. But I'm with Bob in that this will only escalate an already volatile situation.

    Also, while all civil discussion is welcomed, the old delete button will take out comments that are crude, racists..you get the idea.
