...Brescia was indicted along with Mark William Thomas, one of the more eloquent gurus of the Aryan Nations movement.

Using handguns, wearing bulletproof vests and, at one point, Santa suits, the gang hit banks in Ohio, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin in 1994 and 1995. Brescia joined the gang in August 1995, after another indictee, Scott Stedeford, drove to Elohim City to pick...
