NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Ryan Scott McCann, a member of the neo-Nazi Goyim Defense League, was indicted by a Davidson County grand jury last month on assault and civil rights intimidation charges.
Prosecutors say McCann attacked a 20-year-old Jewish man in a Nashville parking lot last summer, attempting a spinning elbow strike and kicking the victim multiple times. McCann is also facing charges for the assault on a Nashville bartender with the pole for his swastika flag.
District Attorney Glenn Funk said the case sends a clear message that violence, hate and intimidation will not be tolerated in Nashville.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
