White supremacist leader sentenced for threatening Brooklyn journalist
Following a failed attempt to scare a Brooklyn journalist, a 33-year-old online troll has been sentenced to 44 months in prison.
Nicholas Welker, the leader of the violent extremist group Feuerkrieg Division, has been sentenced to 44 months in prison after attempting to intimidate a Brooklyn journalist into silence through death threats.
Welker, who operated under the alias “King ov Wrath,” lost emotional control, unleashing his digital rage on the journalist for simply doing their job: specifically, directing threats towards them for reporting on his group’s Neo-Nazi activities, including their advocacy for violence against minorities and the LGBTQ+ community.
