February 14, 2019
The FBI arrested U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Christopher Hasson of Silver Spring, Maryland, after labeling him a domestic terrorist who pushed for a “white homeland” and had a hit list of Democratic politicians and media figures.
Hasson had been based at Coast Guard headquarters in Washington, D.C. The FBI says Hasson self-identified as a white nationalist and was an admirer of Norwegian domestic terrorist Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in a rampage over Muslim immigration. He also searched online for pro-Russian, neo-fascist and neo-Nazi literature.
Hasson stockpiled weapons and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition, the FBI said, at his Maryland home.
Among the targets Hasson listed were U.S. Senators Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and Richard Blumenthal, former Vice President Joe Biden and MSNBC hosts Ari Melber, Chris Hayes and Joe Scarborough.

Two women — 61-year-old Nancy Van Vessem and 21-year-old Maura Binkley — are killed and several others are injured when 40-year-old Scott Paul Beierle opens fire at a Tallahassee, Florida, yoga studio before killing himself. In online videos and music discovered after the murders, Beierle had adopted the moniker “Carnifex” — Latin for executioner — and made deeply misogynistic comments and references to violence, including song lyrics imagining the imprisonment and torture of a woman in his basement. Beierle also referenced mass murderer Eliot Rodger, a figure who has become a hero to the “incel” or involuntary celibate community, which is made up of deeply misogynistic men who view themselves as sexual outcasts victimized by the advances of feminism. Beierle had previously been arrested for groping women.

Eleven people are murdered and seven injured after 46-year-old suspect Robert Gregory Bowers storms the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with several semi-automatic weapons and shouts “All Jews must die.” Multiple responding officers are wounded in a shootout with Bowers before he is finally taken into custody. Bowers was an active user of the social media network Gab, which was developed as a non-moderated alternative to Twitter and quickly became a hub for white supremacist activists and their admirers. On his account, Bowers engaged with several leading alt-right figures and obsessed over the white supremacist conspiracy theory of “white genocide.” Bowers appears to have targeted Tree of Life because of his belief that Jews are enabling the destruction of the white race by helping resettle non-white refugees. Bowers also shared content relating to the caravan of Central American asylum seekers that President Trump and other prominent conservatives demonized as a threat to America in the weeks leading to the 2018 midterm elections.

Cesar Altieri Sayoc, Jr., a 56-year-old Florida man who worked as a pizza delivery driver and lived in a van plastered with pro-Trump decals, is arrested after federal authorities tie him to a series of at least 13 mail bombs sent to prominent Democrats, liberal figures and the cable news outlet CNN. Sayoc’s online activity across Facebook, Twitter and YouTube over several years reveal a descent into hyper-partisan and conspiratorial thinking, posting stories from far-right websites like Infowars and Breitbart and sharing photos of himself at Trump rallies. Sayoc had a criminal history including fraud, larceny and a 2002 charge for making a bomb threat against a Florida-based utility company.

Gregory Bush, a 51-year-old white man and resident of Louisville, Kentucky, shoots and kills two African-Americans — Vickie Lee Jones, 67, and Maurice E. Stallard, 69 —at a Kroger grocery store. Bush allegedly tells an armed white man who confronts him in the parking lot that “Whites don’t kill whites.” Earlier in the day, Bush fails to break into a nearby black church, in what appears to have been an attempt to carry out a massacre similar to the one in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015 where nine parishioners were murdered by white supremacist Dylann Roof. Bush has a criminal history including domestic violence incidents involving family members and his ex-wife, who is black and said that Bush once used a racist epithet against her.

Kidwell allegedly claimed to be a member of the Ku Klux Klan and Aryan Nations. "He's been a monster his whole life," Kidwell's daughter told the media. "He's the true definition of evil."

Dustin Allen Hughes, a 26-year old Florida man, repeatedly calls the Jamaat ul Muttaqeen mosque in Pembroke Pines, Florida, leaving violent anti-Muslim voicemails threatening to blow up the mosque and harm its worshippers. In the voicemail message, among other things, Hughes stated, "I planted a bomb in your temple, I'm gonna blow your fucking temple up you fucking Muslim." After a sweep of the mosque, police officers find no explosives in the vicinity. Several days later Hughes is arrested and confesses to leaving the message, stating that he "wanted to make members of the mosque scared and upset." Hughes pleads guilty to one count of obstructing the free exercise of religious beliefs through threatened use of an explosive. If convicted, Hughes could serve up to 10 years in prison.

Benjamin Morrow, a 28-year-old quality control technician for a food company, is killed in an explosion at his Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, apartment. Bomb-making substances were subsequently found throughout his home including 40 gallons of acetone, a notorious chemical known to be found in "Mother of Satan" bombs used by terrorists around the world. Because of the volatility of the substances recovered, firefighters chose to destroy the entire apartment building in a controlled burn. Investigators also found "white supremacist material" in his bedroom, though local police won't release details on the material found, according to an unsealed warrant application from the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

February 14, 2018
Police say 19-year-old Nikolas Jacob Cruz, armed with a semi-automatic rifle, entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where he was previously expelled, and allegedly opened fire on students and teachers. According to prosecutors, Cruz carried multiple gun magazines with swastikas carved on them. Police say that, after six minutes of shooting, resulting in the deaths of 17 people and injuries of 17 more, Cruz abandons his rifle and escapes the scene by blending in with fleeing students. He is arrested by police less than an hour later in a local neighborhood and is eventually taken to jail. Former classmates reported that Cruz made racist and hateful comments, and later it was discovered that Cruz expressed far-right antisemitic, homophobic and xenophobic views in a private Instagram group chat. Cruz is charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder. If convicted, Cruz could face the death penalty or a life sentence without parole.
