Two men were sentenced on Friday for conspiring to attack US electric substations in a plot motivated by white supremacy and intended to sow civil unrest and economic distress, the US Justice Department said.
Christopher Cook, 21, of Columbus, Ohio, was sentenced to 92 months in prison, and Jonathan Frost, 25, of Katy, Texas, and West Lafayette, Indiana, was given 60 months, DOJ said in a press release.
Cook and Frost each pleaded guilty in February 2022 to one count of conspiring to provide material support to extremists. Jackson Sawall of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, was also charged and pleaded guilty in February 2022 and will be sentenced at a later date, DOJ said.
I don't understand why those guys were allowed to roam around for a fucking year after pleading guilty. Unless they were already in jail, which seems to be a bit uncertain.
And then, there's this:
A planned attack in Ohio was thwarted when police stopped their car in a routine encounter.
I don't suppose it's beyond the realm of possibility that a bunch of white Nazis thought that they didn't have to worry about being stopped by the cops for a traffic violation (see, T. MvVeigh), but on the other hand, it does seem a mite convenient.
ETA: For a certain reader (they're on the Banhammer List) who lacks the ability to comprehend what he reads (because the thinks that they were framed), let me make it simple:
They. Pled. Guilty. You. Moron.
There were a couple of Electric Substation attacks last year. I read that one of the attacks was to take down the power for a store that was planned to be robbed. That sure seemed like a lot of work and risk. So at least these guys got caught for terrorism. They got off pretty easy I think though. Wasn't there at least one more attack?
