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.
“I’ve never met anyone like Tennie.”
That’s how one neighbor at Stones River Manor in Murfreesboro describes Tennie Fitzpatrick, who has mastered as many as seven different musical instruments. Each day, Tennie shares those talents with residents, workers and visitors. It’s an ability Tennie herself believes is “a gift from God.” That’s because Tennie is blind, and overcame a difficult, abusive childhood. Forrest Sanders shares this truly inspirational story.
