Neo-Nazis led by Cameron Shea called Atomwaffen were in charge of threatening activists and journalists writing about anti-Semitism. A leader of a neo-Nazi group who threatened journalists and advocates working to expose anti-Semitism has been sentenced to three years in prison, federal prosecutors said. Cameron Shea, 25, of Washington, pleaded guilty in April after being charged last year along with three other members of the Atomwaffen Division white supremacist group that targeted Jewish or black journalists, as well as an Anti-Defamation League official in a “hate-filled” campaign in three states. “The group created posters, which featured Nazi symbols, masked figures with guns and Molotov cocktails and threatening messages, to deliver or mail to the journalists or advocates the group targeted,” the Department of Justice said in a statement Tuesday. Shea told the group he wanted members to put the posters at homes of victims in Tampa, Seattle and Phoenix as a “show of force,” prosecutors said. He mailed posters to several victims in late January 2020, including one to an ADL official that featured a Grim Reaper-like figure holding a Molotov cocktail. “Our patience has its limits,” the ominous poster read. “You have been visited by your local Nazis.”
