Nolan Brewer, 21, said he and his wife were in contact with a white nationalist over Discord, read Breitbart and Nazi propaganda site Stormfront, and became members of Identity Evropa.
Brewer told FBI agents he wanted to “scare the hell out of them,” prosecutors said, and send “a message of like, get out I guess.”

She then shared articles with her husband.
“That said, the gravity of her actions were not lost upon my client. The anti Semitic crimes committed across our country are sickening,” Karimi said. “This case helped fuel legislation in Indiana to make 'hate crimes' further punishable by law. “It’s just be proud that you’re European, it’s, it’s an identitarian movement, it’s nothing political,” Brewer told the FBI, adding he and his wife gave $100 to the group.The agents pressed Brewer whether Identity Evropa members had hostility toward any groups of people. The Discord handle of the woman he’d met was, after all, Volkmom, a reference to a Nazi slogan. He responded by referencing a meme used to“There’s always a couple poisoned Skittles to ruin the bowl,” Brewer told the FBI.
