ARA Las Vegas, after an initial and understandable period of regrouping, has continued to organize anti-fascist youth in Las Vegas. However, When we have two of our activists killed in an execution style double murder we will hold the cops and courts accountable and insist they do their fucking jobs for a change. Especially when the city of Las Vegas, whose economy relies heavily on tourism, would rather sweep the murders under the rug than admit that Las Vegas has a big problem with organized and violent fascists. This still has not happend with at least 3 known fascists invovled in the murders remaining uncharged. That stated, let's move on to the rest of the article's premise.
Fascists fight back.
Few understand better than ARA that there's a very real physical risk in doing effective, street level, anti-fascist work. While the murders of Dan and Spit were certainly the most extreme example of Fascist violence against ARA it was far from the first and will definitely not be the last. Largely this is because when an ARAer gets arrested they have tremendous support from their community and the ARA network. ARA has mounted some of most successful high profile legal defense campaigns for militant direct action in North America. On a network level, ARA administers an ongoing ARA general defense fund.
