Body
"'[Atomwaffen Division] has specifically advocated for violence since they were founded in 2015,' said Joshua Fisher-Birch, a terrorism analyst at the Counter Extremism project who monitors the group and its adjacent movement. '[S] everal of their members have been charged or found guilty of crimes including explosives-related offenses and murder. The neo-Nazi organization’s violent character should be considered during sentencing, especially because there continue to be numerous non-group affiliated individuals inspired by [Atomwaffen Division’s] legacy, brand, and ideology.'"
