From the Give Send Go:
On December 7, 2025, in Zebulon, North Carolina, 27-year-old Austin Thomas Herber—a young White man with no prior criminal record—was the victim of a violent hit-and-run crash. While driving his pickup truck through a parking lot near Smash Masters Tavern & Grill, a speeding black car driven by Juan Campos lost control, jumped the curb, and brutally Tboned Herber’s vehicle on the driver’s side. The impact was devastating: Herber was left dazed, and his female passenger, Emma Lawson, was knocked unconscious, bleeding heavily from severe injuries requiring stitches.
Campos fled the scene on foot, abandoning his injured passengers—Guillermo Sosa-Canuto and Ruben Jimenez-Sosa—who also attempted to escape. As the clear victim, Herber exited his wrecked truck and lawfully detained the two fleeing passengers by grabbing their shoulders and ordering them to stay on the ground until police arrived. This action is explicitly permitted under North Carolina law (NCGS §15A-404), which allows private citizens to detain suspects attempting to flee a crime scene using reasonable force.
Multiple eyewitnesses, Jessica Thompson and passenger Emma Lawson, confirm the facts: No excessive physical assault occurred beyond minimal restraint to prevent flight, and no threats were made—directly contradicting the police narrative.
Thompson stated: “We never saw a gun… The only thing I saw him do was come up to them and take them by the shoulder and tell them to get back on the ground.”
Yet, in a shocking reversal, Herber—the law-abiding victim acting to hold criminals accountable—was arrested and slapped with nine egregious charges:
• Assault Inflicting Serious Injury
• Assault and Battery
• Two counts of Assault by Pointing a Gun
• Two counts Kidnapping
• Two counts of Communicating Threats
• Two counts of Ethnic Intimidation
• Going Armed to the Terror of the People
Meanwhile, Juan Campos—the reckless driver who caused the crash, injured innocents, and fled—received only minor citations for misdemeanor hit-and-run and failure to reduce speed. No mugshot, no serious consequences.
The Zebulon Police Department has offered no evidence for the gun allegations or hate crime claims, while independent witnesses outright dispute them.
This case is a stark example of anarcho-tyranny: lawlessness by criminals and illegal aliens is tolerated or minimally punished, while the state ruthlessly persecutes law-abiding White Americans who dare to defend themselves, their passengers, or their community. A good man doing the right thing—preventing hit-and-run suspects from escaping justice—now faces ruinous legal fees, lost wages, and potential imprisonment.
Call to Action: Austin Herber was simply protecting his injured passenger and ensuring accountability after a dangerous, unprovoked attack.
