I originally posted about this incident in Current Events (Alleged white supremacists start brawl at Lynnwood bar; 9 arrested) however the fact that the FBI is now involved caused me to post an update to the Race Relations Forum
Suspects in Lynnwood hate-crime attack appear in court

"There is overwhelming evidence that malicious harassment is appropriate," said Snohomish County Deputy Prosecutor, Tim Geraghty, to the judge, regarding the case with a Bothell man.
The state pointed the judge to an officer’s report after he watched surveillance video from the Rec Room Tavern that apparently captured the incident.
Four of the eight arrested are from the Pacific Northwest, including, one man from Bothell and another from Tacoma.
One of the defendants, Nathaniel Woodell said he is a musician from out of town and not a part of the group involved.
He wasn't the only one who told the judge he's not a part of a hate group.
"I was not involved in that incident, I was just sitting at a table," said Woodell to the judge. "I have a son and a home I will lose if I don't make a payment on."
Each of the eight defendant's police paperwork lists them as having a gang affiliation with the Aryan Brotherhood.
The Sheriff's office said it is partnering with the FBI to ensure the strongest sentencing possible.
It also believes the group was here for a rally to mark the anniversary of the death of white supremacist leader from Whidbey Island.
Eight people appeared in court today, but two cases were continued until tomorrow for their bail hearings.
