More men charged in animal killing "ritual sacrifice" at white supremacist camp

ROME, Ga. (AP) — The killing of a farm animal during what authorities have said was a “ritual sacrifice” during a training camp in Georgia for a white supremacist group has led to charges against five additional men.

Floyd County prosecutors identified the animal, which they say was beheaded during a meeting of the group in October 2019, as a ram.

They’ve said the men stole the animal and attempted unsuccessfully to kill it with a knife and then ended up shooting it to death and cutting off its head.

The killing happened at a training camp in north Georgia that prosecutors have said was organized by 'The Base', a white supremacist group that espoused using violence to accelerate overthrowing the U.S. government.

4. The Nazis outlawed animal sacrifice in 1933, probably because it was a Jewish custom.

A Supreme Court decision in '93 legalized ritual animal sacrifices during religious ceremonies, but rustling is still a crime.

wouldn't be considered a sacrifice. I will have to look up the name of the "god of inept racist thieving animal killing varmints"

The law was never taken off the books because they claim it would be to expensive to drop it.

I wonder what the penalty for stealing cows was? It was probably death also.

They want to go back when they think America was great then they should live with the consequences of those times.
