Glad to see these assholes locked up.

I am also glad to see them get caught. The wheels of justice turn oh so slowly: https://www.propublica.org/article/atomwaffen-division-inside-white-hate-group

Inside Atomwaffen As It Celebrates a Member for Allegedly Killing a Gay Jewish College Student ProPublica obtained the chat logs of Atomwaffen, a notorious white supremacist group. When Samuel Woodward was charged with killing 19-year-old Blaze Bernstein last month in California, other Atomwaffen members cheered the death, concerned only that the group’s cover might have been blown.

Update, Aug. 3, 2018: Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas on Thursday announced that Samuel Woodward would now face a hate crime charge as part of his prosecution for the murder of Blaze Bernstein. ProPublica revealed earlier this year that Woodward was a member of a neo-Nazi group called Atomwaffen Division. According to the Orange County Register, Rackauckas said, “We will prove that Woodward killed Blaze because Blaze was gay.” Rackauckas said investigators had uncovered material on Woodward’s phone and computer that was “graphic and chilling” and “spewing hate toward almost every protected group.” With the hate charge, Woodward, if convicted, could face life in prison without the chance at parole.
