White Supremacist Pleads Guilty to Torching Black Family's Home
White power leader Brian Moudry's may be off Joliet's Reed Street for as long as 10 years.
JOLIET, IL -- A local white supremacist pleaded guilty Friday to torching the home of a black family living down the street from his house.
Brian Moudry, 36, faces up to 10 years in federal prison when he is sentenced on April 26. He pleaded to using fire to interfere with the housing rights on the basis of race.
Moudry admitted to pouring gasoline on the home of a black family and setting fire to the house in June 2007. The family of eight children and one adult was asleep inside but escaped the blaze without injury.
According to the plea agreement, Moudry was upset that a black family was renting a house on the same block as his own on Joliet's South Reed Street. He set the fire in hopes of driving them out and to intimidate the owner of the home, the agreement says.
Two other men who had been drinking with Moudry the night before the fire were arrested in the immediate aftermath of the blaze. Moudry was not taken into custody or charged.
One of the men was released without charge soon after his arrest. The other had an arson case pending against him for nearly nine months before prosecutors dropped it.
Moudry was arrested in May, nearly five years after the fire. He has been in custody at Chicago's Metropolitan Correctional Center since he was picked up by FBI agents more than seven months ago.
Moudry is a disciple of incarcerated white power leader Matt Hale, who was imprisoned for plotting to kill U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow.
In March 2005, federal agents hauled Moudry and some of his associates in for questioning after Hale was suspected of ordering the execution-style slayings of Judge Humphrey Lefkow's husband and mother. The killings turned out to be unrelated to Hale, Moudry or their group.
Before he was questioned by the feds in 2005, Moudry organized a series of white power rallies in and around Joliet. His house in Joliet's sleepy Reedswood neighborhood was targeted in a gun attack following a 2004 white power demonstration.

He might not even go to prison,for the ten years,I bet he is going to get one year and five years probation. NOW, if it was a black person doing that to a white person then he would have to do the max. thats how it works in this country.

While it is important to get the gun trafficking situation under control, it is important also to remember that a criminal can do just as much damage with arson as he can by gunfire. There is no substitute for good, community based policing with active cooperation between the community and the law enforcement agencies that protect the people. There is also no substitute for good moral training for young people when they are growing up. A racist arsonist is very likely to be someone who had no moral training when he was young.

This attitude was nurtured at early maturation by parental indoctrination. It's passed down from generation to generation. Those that embrace this practice is mentally unstable to say the least and they walk among us.

I think the real story here is why local law enforcement seemed to drop the ball. Why wasn't anyone actually charged for the arson ( and related crimes)? Why did it take the feds charging him for a civil rights violation for any punishment to come to the guy? Are the local police and DA not interested in arrested and charging people who set fires and attempt to kill people?

Right. You know the whole story because of what you read in the paper. The police arrested him and charged him with arson. The scene was processed and witnesses spoken to. What happens after that is up to the States Attorney. How they dispose or transfer the case has nothing to do with the pd.

It's just funny this guy thinks the way to "save" his neighborhood from a criminal element is to become a criminal. Who would even think setting eight kids on fire is a good thing? An ignorant monster, that's who. This guy is disgusting.

Justice is Served. He did not like a Black family living 500 feet down the block from him___and now he will be sharing a cell block surrounded by Blacks for many years to come___or at least until the Black inmates find out he is a White racist who set a Black families house with 8 kids in it on fire..

No, not a prisoner. He would be a Nazi. An ignorant fool who believes himself and members of his society to be of superior power and significance than others, based solely on race, religion, or ethnicity.

Any inmate would kick his a$$ put race aside he burned a house with a family of kids in it. Crimes against children do not go unpunished in prison he will be one of the lowest on the food chain there I hope he has fun serving his time to bad he will get time off for food behavior and time served while he awaits trial.

This bully hate moneger could have been a asset to his race or all americans, he could have been coaching little league, tutoring poor kids, working with a civic community to improve his neighborhood. Some of us make stupid choices and don't have the courage to follow thier conviction rather than be a part of a hate doctrine which they already KNOW is wrong. Would he burn down a family of white kids to make a point? They why would he hurt someone else's children? This message to all those like him sitting on the frindge, disenfranchized by their own choices, make a choice, pull yourself from the ugliness that you embrace.

I don't think most of those people "know" that their beliefs & views are just sick, and what you and I know to be wrong. It is a part of their being, shoved down their throats from the moment they are born. They most likely truly believe themselves superior to people of different races. Hence the label-- white SUPREMACIST. The intelligent, free-thinking members of their society are probably more inclined to break free & independently question what they are taught, and escape the disgusting cycle of hate.

Being in the real estate field, I know for a fact that this gentleman is correct in that when a "person of color" or is it "colored person" moves into a neighborhood, the property values drop significantly. Once "they" have their foot in the door and open the way for their "relatives", then the neighborhood values really start to plummet. This isn't a racist statement, just fact.

Get over your 1950's racist attitude...I have a lovely black family living across the street from my family in a Calif upscale neighborhood...been there for 35 years. Our kids grew up together as good friends. Get over your 50's era racist garbage and grow up!

Mik you sound like a real tool how can you say a person of color brings down property value it's people that don't take care of their property that brings down the property value. I don't care what race you are if you let your property go it loses value along with the neighborhood it's in.

I met this clown before, and his fearless leader Matt Hale. These degenerates are angry at the sucessful Black Americans, who live in better neighborhoods,attend quality schools and are more educated than they are. They have a chip on their shoulders because all of the goodies should be reserved for whites. Well students of A BETTER AMERICA. Would you want the likes of him living next door to you and your family??? When you allow this type of trash to come around the smell lingers and the the residue from wollowing with it stains you. Just ask Adam Lauderman and the other 3 stooges that are in Will County jail.
