Judge orders leaders of cult-like ‘Zizian’ group to be held without bail
Al JazeeraJack LaSota, a blogger known as Ziz, was arrested with two other suspects and tied to a series of six recent killings. A Maryland court has ordered a blogger known as “Ziz”, who leads a cult-like group connected to six killings, to be held without bail. The blogger, Jack LaSota, 34, of Berkeley, California, was arrested Sunday along with Michelle Zajko, 32, of Media, Pennsylvania, and Daniel Blank, 26, of Sacramento, California. The Zizians, as the group are known after their apparent leader, have been tied to the killing of a United States Border Patrol agent David Maland last month near the Canadian border, as well as five other killings in three states. LaSota, the group’s apparent leader, published a dark and sometimes violent blog under the name Ziz and, in one section, described her theory that the two hemispheres of the brain could hold separate values and genders and “often desire to kill each other”.
