On May 2nd, a North Carolina neo-Nazi named Ariel Ellis Collazo-Ramos was arrested on federal charges of sending threats by mail, including one to a rabbi in middle Georgia. Collazo-Ramos was known to us under his alias of “Patriot Candle Co”, as a GDL (Goyim Defense League) associate, a network of neo-Nazis known for extreme antisemitic flyering campaigns and clownish antics.
Collazo-Ramos used the GDL’s livestreaming site to promote his candle company and explicitly advertised his products as “white power”.
Ariel Ellis Collazo-Ramos makes a candle for Jon Minadeo AKA Handsome Truth, the leader of the GDL.
