Radicalized at 14, Sentenced at 22 | London News
Description
A 22-year-old man, Alfie Coleman, has been sentenced to 13.5 years for plotting a mass shooting, including targeting the Lord Mayor, after MI5 uncovered his extremist plans. Radicalized online at 14, he compiled a manifesto, targeted “race traitors,” and researched attacks while expressing admiration for neo-Nazi figures like Thomas Mair. Arrested in 2023 after attempting to buy a gun, his home search revealed neo-Nazi symbols and extremist materials. Despite claims his thoughts were just fantasies and his autism-related loneliness, the judge called him a dangerous offender. He’ll serve two-thirds of his sentence before parole eligibility.
