A neo-Nazi leader from Washington state has been convicted of plotting to threaten and intimidate activists and journalists. The Department of Justice says a federal jury in Seattle convicted Kaleb Cole of five federal charges last [Wednesday] night. Cole is the leader of the hate group Atomwaffen, which has been targeting the Anti-Defamation League and members of the media, particularly journalists who are Jewish or of color. The charges against the 25-year-old Everett native include conspiracy and mailing threatening communications.

Cole was sending posters to journalists with messages like "death to pigs" and "we can get you in your home."
