Nicholas Welker, a San Jose neo-Nazi, was sentenced to 3½ years in federal prison for threatening a journalist. Welker, the leader of the violent extremist group Feuerkrieg Division, posted a threat on an online forum targeting the journalist, calling him a ‘race traitor’ and warning him to cease reporting on the group. Two underage members of Feuerkrieg then sent the threat directly to the journalist’s Twitter account. Welker pleaded guilty to conspiring to make threatening statements and was sentenced to 44 months in prison.
