Two self-described white supremacists who threatened to shoot up a Las Vegas nightclub earlier this month were charged by police with making terroristic threats.
Braxton Ryback, 25, and Johnny Young, 22, both of Las Vegas, are each being held in lieu of a high bond. Ryback’s bail is $100,000 and Young’s bond is $250,000, according to jail records. Each is due in court Thursday.
According to cited arrest reports from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Young Ryback were thrown out of XS nightclub on Aug. 10 after allegedly threatening club patrons while yelling with their first raised, “White privilege, white power, we are white supremacists.”
According to reports, police were called after Young and Ryback allegedly threatened to shoot up the nightclub and “take out anyone who stands in their way.”
According to the report, officers “trespassed Ryback;” the term, an obscure reference, means to evicted from a place, or, held and then released. A report said that Young took off but came back around 30 minutes later was temporarily taken into custody but then released. Police said that Young again came back to he club just before 7 a.m. armed with pepper spray. Police said he threatened to shoot a security guard.
On Aug. 27, more than two weeks after the incident, police charged the men, both of whom have posted their interest in starring in pornography on social media as well as references to white supremacy and Nazism, the latter seen on Ryback’s Instagram in particular.
