Army veteran who gave tactical training to Neo Nazis gets two years in prison

[DemMedic]

An Army veteran who took part in “hate rallies” with white supremacist and Neo-Nazi groups was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to federal gun charges.

Kyle Christopher Benton, 29, was arrested in the fall of 2024 and charged with unlawful possession of a machine gun and possession of an unregistered firearm. According to prosecutors he used his collection of firearms and his military experience to gain credence among Neo-Nazi circles, including helping to provide combat and tactical training to several far-right extremists.

The indictment against Benton described him as being an “accelerationist” with ties to extremist groups, including ones that had plotted terrorist actions against Americans. Law enforcement found a fully automatic M16 as well as two rifles modified to have barrels shorter than 16 inches in his possession. At least one of those was unregistered, per court documents.

2. Arrested in fall of 2024.

If he had only kept low for another few months, he could be making bank in the MAGA Gestapo.

Deserves life at hard labor for teaching NAZIs.

5. Nah, he's an accellerationist.

The Government is still at the "First they came for the Brown Immigrants" stage.
He's going to be released about the "Next they came for the political and religious Heretics" stage.
Just in time for the Last Putsch of the white Xtian Nationalists - before the Tech Bros turn the drones on them after they've outlived their usefulness.
I don't think the Heritage Foundation type (We used to call them John Birchers) really understand the reality the Tech Bros envision - which doesn't include pesky true Believers.
