Somehow I missed this when the story broke a few weeks ago: Atomwaffen Division co-founder Brandon Russell has been given a 20-year prison sentence for plotting to attack the Baltimore power grid with his girlfriend (h/t @MusiqueNow). He had been found guilty back in February, but sentencing was only earlier this month.

They picked Baltimore in part because the girlfriend, Sarah Beth Clendaniel, also a neo-nazi, was from the area, but mostly because it's a city with a large Black population. Clendaniel recently got an 18-year sentence for her part in the plot.

Neo-Nazi group leader sentenced to 20 years in prison for planned Maryland power grid attack

The founder of a Florida-based neo-Nazi group has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for conspiring with his girlfriend to plan an attack on Maryland’s power grid in furtherance of their shared racist beliefs. Brandon Russell was convicted by a jury earlier this year in federal court in Baltimore. U.S. District Judge James Bredar imposed the maximum sentence allowed following a sentencing hearing Thursday. Russell's co-defendant, Sarah Beth Clendaniel, was previously sentenced to 18 years after pleading guilty to her role in the plot.

"The recent documentary The Rise and Fall of Terrorgram explores how this white supremacist network grew on anonymous, loosely-moderated platforms — and the violent consequences.

Reporters A.C. Thompson and James Bandler join The FRONTLINE Dispatch to talk about the ideas and rhetoric they found inside Terrorgram, and how they uncovered connections between the group and a deadly terror attack at an LGBTQ+ bar in Bratislava, Slovakia, that killed two people.

'You can find hate speech on most internet spaces,' A.C. Thompson told host Raney Aronson-Rath, editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE. 'What was different about […] this Terrogram community that colonized Telegram for about five years is it wasn’t just about speech. It was about actionable material.'"
