After being attacked and racially slandered during a 10-day “blackmail tour” of hatred groups in July, employees in downtown Honky Tonk in Nashville filed lawsuits against the Neo-Nazi Goiim Defense League and more than dozens of members.

Dego Buck, who described the lawsuit over mixed races, was beaten at Johnny Cash’s bar and barbecue, gou eyes, bumped into Swastika’s flag poles, and hired in an attack that was rebirthed by a group of hatred groups.

Buck’s attack was not an isolated incident of the group’s era in Nashville.

Members of the group attacked Jewish men, bewildered young black children, confused Metro Council meetings, accused many passersby, chanting “Sikh Hail,” “F-Jews,” and “White F-Power,” and threw examples that were widely reported in local news media back then.

The lawsuit, brought by lawyers at the Poverty Law Centre in the South, alleges that the group violated the federal Ku Klux Clans commit and condemn the battery, assault and harassment.

A federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in the Central District of Tennessee seeks a ruling that violated an injunction that violated Buck’s rights and blocked the group from future violations.
