White supremacist gang members convicted of murder, kidnapping in Alaska

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - The U.S. Department of Justice reported that a federal jury has convicted four members and an associate of the violent white supremacist gang the 1488s for the 2017 murder of Michael Staton in Alaska, and several other charges.

The Department of Justice wrote in a press release that the convictions stem from Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) charges brought against the five men who — according to evidence presented during the trial — kidnapped two people in 2017 and murdered Staton. The Department of Justice described the 1488s as “a violent prison-based gang operating inside and outside of state prisons throughout Alaska.”

Those convicted were 45-year-old Filthy Fuhrer (who legally changed his name from Timothy Lobdell), 43-year-old Roy Naughton, 40-year-old Glen Baldwin, and 29-year-old Colter O’Dell, who were all members of the 1488s. Also convicted was Hells Angels Motorcycle Club member Craig King, 56. All face a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole for the murder.

The Department of Justice wrote in the press release that O’Dell received his membership patch — a tattoo of an iron cross over a swastika — for his role in Staton’s murder.

I'm a little miffed though, because my daughter and son-in-law were going to name their next child "Filthy Fuhrer" and that asshole obviously went and stole the name.

All kidding aside, this 1488 gang sounds like something republicans running for office in 2022 must have on their resume' or they won't get Trump's endorsement.

Alaska sounds like a nice place to visit on a cruise, but never get off the boat. Never get off the mother fucking boat! Alaska sounds like the place where criminals too controversial for Florida go to hang their hats. Never get off the boat.
