| 词条 | Texas Emergency Reserve |
| 释义 |
The Texas Emergency Reserve (TER) was a militia group which operated in Texas, and at its peak had close to 2,500 members. In 1981, a U.S. District Court judge ordered the TER to close its military training camp based on a Texas law that forbade private armies in the state.[1] The Reserve had ties with the Ku Klux Klan, and with one of the Klan's prominent members, Louis Beam.[1][3] The Reserve is most famous for an incident which took place in Seabrook, Texas on March 15, 1981, in which armed members of the organization held a demonstration on a boat in the waters around the city in an attempt to intimidate local Vietnamese fishermen who had been settled there by the government.[3] In the course of the demonstration, an effigy of a Vietnamese fisherman was hung from the stern of the ship and threatening gestures were made to the onlooking Vietnamese fishermen and their families.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite book|last=Gitlin|first=Marty|title=The Ku Klux Klan: A Guide to an American Subculture|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DJ4YHu0DX0AC&pg=PA41|year=2009|publisher=ABC-CLIO|isbn=978-0313365768|pages=41–42}} {{org-stub}}{{Texas-stub}}2. ^1 2 The KKK and Vietnamese Fishermen 5 : Far-right politics in the United States|History of Texas|Paramilitary organizations based in the United States|Right-wing militia organizations in the United States|1981 disestablishments in Texas |
