FBI arrests alleged white supremacist accused of planning to bomb a Pueblo synagogue

A 27-year-old man who allegedly espoused white supremacist ideology online was arrested by the FBI and accused of plotting to bomb a synagogue in Colorado.

Richard Holzer had brought a knife and a mask to a motel room and was examining inert pipe bombs prepared by undercover agents moments before he was arrested late Friday, according to a criminal complaint.

Update:

Attorneys for Richard Holzer, who was sentenced to more than 19 years in federal prison followed by 15 years of supervised release for the bomb plot against Temple Emanuel synagogue on Grand Ave., said that barring him from possessing Thor's hammer violated his right to practice Norse paganism, which includes Thor in its pantheon.

When he was sentenced last year, Holzer was banned from possessing an array of items and symbols associated with antisemitism or white supremacy, including Thor's hammer, Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf," swastikas, and iron crosses, along with several numbers such as 12, 14, and 18 that are used as covert symbols in neo-fascist circles.

"A man convicted of plotting to blow up a historic synagogue in Pueblo in 2019 is appealing a condition of his sentence that bars him from possessing the Norse god Thor's hammer"

How do they know its the actual hammer?
