A former leader of the neo-Nazi Atomwaffen Division group was sentenced to 41 months in prison on Tuesday for his role in swatting attacks against at least 134 targets including journalists, a historically Black church and a former Cabinet member.
Why it matters: John Cameron Denton, 27, of Montgomery, Texas, was involved in the swatting, calling emergency services to make bogus bomb reports and false reports of other acts of violence, from October 2018 to February 2019.
AWD calls for acts of random violence in hopes of starting a race war and has been connected with several killings since it was founded in 2015, according to the Washington Post.

ALEXANDRIA, VA A former leader of a Neo-Nazi organization was sentenced Tuesday in federal court to 41 months in prison for his role in a swatting scheme targeting an Alexandria location and others.
John Cameron Denton, 27, of Montgomery, Texas, the former leader of the Atomwaffen Division in Texas, participated in a swatting scheme that targeted 134 different locations in the U.S., according to prosecutors. Swatting is defined as a harassment tactic that involves calling in fake emergencies to send police and emergency services to a target s address. Prosecutors believe Denton and co-conspirators chose targets motivated by racial prejudice.
