Zachary Newell, 26, was sentenced to 2 years after he plead guilty to communicating online threats.
The feds say that Newell had become obsessed with extremist content online and had posted several threatening comments on YouTube directed at racial, ethnic, and religious minorities.
Investigators say on August 27th, Newell wrote, “I’m gonna shoot up a black preschool. 20 black babies will be shot and then skinned.”
Following that threat, the FBI identified and arrested Newell on a federal criminal complaint.
