Description

Sam Seaborn unleashes the Knights of the KKK as a shattered precedent, defendants crushed under Vietnamese Fisherman's Association's civil lawsuit that federal courts weaponized to obliterate their Texas Paramilitary Army and supremacist operations. This hate group's paramilitary infrastructure vaporizes in judicial fire, furnishing Sam ammunition to ignite parallel actions against post-shooting extremists, bridging historical triumphs over Klan terror to White House battle lines amid staff schisms.
