Jewish folks, he pleaded guilty in court to uttering threats of death or harm, but thanks to time already served pre-trial, he walks free from custody right now. Earlier this month, RCMP and Edmonton police napt him on December 20th after digging into his extremist rants. They found over 100 posts loaded with hate aimed, straight at the Jewish community, calling it a hate-fueled crime. Leaders from the Jewish Federation here are breathing easier, thanking cops for jumping on it fast and stopping what could have turned ugly.
