A Fort Worth police report from August 20 acquired by the Texas Observer revealed the identities of four neo-Nazis who were issued trespassing warnings outside of Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, where they distributed antisemitic flyers associated with the Goyim Defense League (GDL): David Bloyed, a 58-year-old resident of Frost; Jeremy Fuller, a 49-year-old resident of Dallas; Barry Young, a 25-year-old resident of Plano; and Matteo Sheffield, a 20-year-old resident of Austin. The Fort Worth Police Department issued trespassing warnings to all four men and escorted them off the premises.
Designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), GDL is a network of neo-Nazi provocateurs with members in several states. “Goyim” is a Yiddish word for a non-Jewish person.
“What’s most alarming about GDL is their aggressiveness and willingness to go into communities to harass and intimidate people they perceive as their enemies,” said Jeff Tischauser, a senior research analyst with SPLC.
