Back on Jan 31st, Mark Hasse, an Assistant DA for Kauffman County, TX (half-podunk/half suburban county just outside of Dallas) was gunned down just outside the county courthouse. The case is still unsolved and law enforcement havn't named any suspects. However on Feb 19th the Dallas Morning News ran an article saying that US Marshals had been going across the state questioning members of the Aryan Brotherhood--a white supremacist gang heavily involved in drug trafficking, etc...

A couple of days later, Evan Spencer Ebel shot a Texas policeman during a traffic stop and was ultimately killed by police just west of the DFW metroplex. Evidence connecting Ebel to the Colorado murders was found in his car. Ebel was a member of an Aryan Brotherhood group "211" and speculation is that he was ordered by the group to kill Clements.

At this point there is no reason to connect to connect the Colorado killings with what has occured in Kauffman County, so why does the Aryan Brotherhood even get mentioned? Because the Kauffman County DA office was part of a multi-jurisdictional effort that led to the indictment of 34 Aryan brotherhood members including 4 senior members.

An organization that orders the assassination of DAs and Head of Correctional Facilities takes gangs to a whole different level. Can't use SEALS and thanks to Rand, you can't use drones (couldn't use them before Rand) so how far do you go in dealing with a terrorist group like this?
