A man identified as 23-year-old Jimmy Baylor is facing charges of second-degree aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after stabbing four people at a local metal show at the Trailer Space Record Store in Austin, TX last week. Baylor is said to have tattoos with Nazi related imagery (reportedly a swastika and Hitler) and went topless into the mosh pit, drawing the ire of fellow moshers, including at least one African-American. Unsurprisingly, an altercation took place between Baylor and various concertgoers who apparently took issue with his beliefs.
The ensuing conflict spilled outside, where Baylor allegedly produced a knife and stabbed four people. None of the injuries were fatal and due to the various ethnicities attacked, police will not be pursuing any hate crime charges. Reports on that can be found over at Kvue.com and Keyetv.com. A fan report from an alleged attendee (via Reddit) described the incident:
“Okay I was there and from and center for all of this. Forgive me for any mistakes as I’m on mobile. So a couple of people’s bands i know we’re playing at trailor space and suddenly a fight brakes out. Before this it had all been your average friendly mosh pit, people horsing around. Suddenly everyone notices this dude with the biggest swastica tat over his heart and a huge tat of hitler heiling.
That’s when the fight breaks out, people were having none of this nazi jackass. 2 of my friend got stabbed/slashed in the brawl, the only one with a knife being the skinhead. My friend is currently in seaton for a palm wound. Everyone just beats the skin heads asses, 2 of them, into the intersection on rosewood. My friend nails on in the head with a bottle and they hit the ground. The real hero was this one badass who as a black dude was like no, we will fuck you up . The nazis retreat and then the cops picked them up after getting the story from trailor space.
Tl;dr neo nazi’s suck”
Baylor for his part denies stabbing anyone.
