About this episode
Twenty-eight-year-old Regan Darby Prater from Tullahoma, Tennessee, pleaded guilty to firebombing the Highlander Education and Research Center, a historic civil rights center, and attempting to provide material support to terrorists. The attack, inspired by the Christchurch mosque shootings, caused over $1.2 million in damage and destroyed decades of important archives. Prater, driven by white supremacist views, targeted the center due to its ties to civil rights legends like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. He also attempted to pass personal information on over 35,000 people tied to the Israeli government to someone connected with Hezbollah. Praters actions were uncovered through Amazon and Walmart purchases, work requests, napalm web searches, and neo-Nazi online chats. He will be sentenced on September 9th, highlighting the global reach of hate ideologies and their real-world consequences. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
