A virulent anti-Semitic member of the Goyim Defense League is arrested for torching an Austin, TX synagogue. Eighteen-year-old Franklin Barrett Sechriest of San Marcos, TX is being held on $100,000 bond b/c of the good work of the Austin, TX fire dept Arson Investigation Unit 1/

Schriest was identified b/c the bonehead drove his own car Halloween night, carrying a gas canister to the house of worship & his car tag # was captured on surveillance video

Later that night, Sechriest was seen burning a Nazi swastika outside of Austin with at least 10 other members of the Goyim Defense League. Sechriest is 2cd from right giving the Nazi salute

2cd from left (my error). He is also seen in an earlier event on Halloween day harassing trick or treaters in Austin. He is in the middle w/ cell phone

Earlier that day, the boneheads flew a banner over an Austin, TX highway

The Goyim Defense League are a small crew of less than a dozen who criss cross the country spreading lies that "Jews are behind 9/11", having held demos in FL, Co, CA, and TX. There real identities are all known.

The extraordinary thing is the Goyim Defense League captured it all on many hours of their livestream, including the arsonist torching swastikas in the immediate hours after he torched the synagogue. We are not talking the sharpest pencils in the box...goyimtv.tv/channel/302635…
