in ‘domestic terrorism’ case

The self-described white supremacist behind a disturbing plot to blow up a historic Colorado synagogue will spend nearly two decades behind bars for his “vulgar” and “evil crimes,” a federal judge ruled Friday.

Richard Holzer, 28, told a team of undercover FBI agents in November 2019 that he was going to bomb Temple Emanuel in the city of Pueblo, saying his goal was to wipe the synagogue “off the map,” according to prosecutors. The attack was foiled hours before it was set to take place as authorities busted Holzer with two pipe bombs and 14 sticks of dynamite, all phony devices provided by the FBI as part of an undercover investigation that year.

Holzer, who told agents he was a former KKK member, pleaded guilty last fall to federal hate crime and explosives charges and faced a judge for the last time Friday before heading to prison.

“It is one of the most vulgar, aggressive, evil crimes that can be committed against an entire group of persons,” Judge Raymond Moore told the man before sentencing him to 235 months in prison, followed by 15 years of supervised release, according to The Associated Press.

1. Great news. He'll have plenty of time to talk to himself behind bars.

2. He'll make friends with someone like Vernon Schillinger from "Oz"

... and he'll join up with some white nationalist gang in the prison.

3. Prison is the thing all these sicko bastards need to get plenty of.

Their minds are just warped. They shouldn't be allowed on the streets.

4. Good. Interested by the use of the word vulgar; I haven't read enough

to know what the judge is referring to. It should be fairly hard to impress judges who've been around awhile and seen about everything.
