NEO-NAZI PLEADS GUILTY TO WEAPONS CHARGE

He might serve fifteen years, or he might serve life. In any case, Samuel James Johnson will have to put his dreams of a race war on hold for awhile. Ironically, the increasingly racist and bizarre right-wing website World Net Daily put a story up about Minneapolis media ignoring Black on White violence there today. Seems WND missed this guy from the same area.

ST. PAUL, MN – A neo-Nazi who once wrote that whites “will never take this country back in its entirety without the use of force” has pled guilty of to a weapons charge related to his efforts to mount a campaign of violence with another person.

Former National Socialist Movement member Samuel James Johnson of Austin, MN faces a minimum of 15 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty on June 6 to being a felon in possession of firearms. According to KAAL-TV.com, he admitted he possessed a semi-automatic assault rifle on Nov. 4, 2010.

Johnson has been seen at May Day rallies in Minnesota videotaping participants, whom he reportedly saw as potential targets for himself and his partner Joseph Benjamin Thomas, who were arrested after they, according to a federal affidavit, had amassed weapons and planned to attack people of color, leftists and government officials including the Mexican Consulate in St. Paul, MN before they were arrested in April. Johnson left the NSM in 2010, but according to an email to NSM leader Jeff Schoep he did so because he wanted to go a different route with his activism.

“There is no more purpose for organizational ties, the time has come purely and simply for organization,” his email read. “I am not talking about a protest or a street walk or handing out fliers to try to wake people up who will not be awakened until there life’s (sic) have been effected enough to see the truth. I think you know what I’m getting at.”

While a sentencing date has not been set, the maximum sentence is life in prison.
