Kaleb Cole, the leader of the hate group “Atomwaffen” in Washington state, was behind threats that targeted associates of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in addition to members of the media. Specifically, they focused on people who were Jewish or journalists of color.
Among the tactics Cole used was sending posters or gluing them to victims’ homes that read “You have been visited by your local Nazis” and “Death to Pigs,” along with threatening images.
Among those who received the posters was a TV journalist who had reported on Atomwaffen and two people involved with the ADL in the Seattle area. A poster was also glued to a bedroom window of an editor of a Jewish lifestyle magazine in Phoenix.
