DALLAS — A member of the Aryan Brotherhood will serve an extended prison sentence after admitting he committed a federal hate crime by severely beating another inmate he believed to be gay.
The FBI says 27-year-old John Hall was sentenced Thursday to nearly six years after pleading guilty to violating the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act stemming from his assault of a fellow inmate.
The 71 month sentence will be added to the sentence Hall is currently serving in federal prison in suburban Dallas. He had been scheduled for release in August.
The assault occurred on Dec. 20, 2011, inside the Federal Correctional Institution in Seagoville, Texas, when Hall targeted and attacked the victim because he believed he was gay and involved in a sexual relationship with another male inmate.
Hall repeatedly punched, kicked and stomped on the victim’s face with his shod feet, a dangerous weapon, while yelling a homophobic slur. The victim lost consciousness during the assault and suffered multiple lacerations to his face.
The victim also sustained a fractured eye socket, lost a tooth, fractured other teeth and was treated at a hospital for the injuries he sustained during Hall’s unprovoked attack, according to a statement by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Hall pleaded guilty in November 2012 to violating the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act.

That is kinda what I was thinking only six years? But I am glad that he was punished with what time was added to his sentence!
Give him the death penalty.
71 months?? That’s it?? I hope the fucker ROTS in jail!! Better yet, I hope someone bigger than him rips his asshole wide open….. bastard!!
Just fry the dirtbag and be done with it.
Glad to hear such a conservative state enforcing the law.

Take his ass and beat him. People like that just make me sick. Who gave these ass wipes the right to think that they are better then anyone. NO ONE THATS WHO. they think just because they are white they are pure. BFS. Wake the hell up. your the same as any other man woman or child in this country. just the color of your skin is different. Traced your heritage and find out what is in blood line. I bet you anything you’ll find things in there you never thought. This kind of thing need to come to a stop. I think anyone with that brand on their body should be taken out and done to what they have done to others.
I’m highly convinced people in these hate groups are the missing link. Everything they say and do has no logic at all.
6 years he deseve way more!
“Marriage” is the lifelong physical, mental, and spiritual union of one man, and one women. Sexual perversions are NOT included in this definition that’s been around for 6,000 years.
Homosexuality is a brain malfunction, history proves it was never designed this way. Therefore if you must live sexually dysfunctional, make up your own names for your abnormal perversions. And stop highjacking normal words like “gay” and “marriage” to be misapplied for sick illegitimate means.
“This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.” -Genesis 2:24 NLT
Being gay is clearly the inferior choice. Why? Because per evolution and per Darwin’s survival of the fittest, gays can’t perpetuate the species. This isn’t hateful – it’s a logical, well-thought out opinion – so please, save your intellectual cowardice (anyone who disagrees with me HATES me) and “pc” beatdowns for someone stupid enough to buy them.
Being gay is a disordered state. One need only look to the shape of human anatomy to figure it out! That, coupled with evolution/survival of the fittest, says it all!
Yup, and the bible says the earth is flat, too, and that the sun revolves around the earth, and that there are unicorns, and that the earth can stop in its celestial movement for a matter of time, that demons cause sickness, that other religious belief systems must be destroyed, etc. … so what was that you were saying, that bible quote, the unerring word of god?
