In a demonstration of the truth of the horseshoe theory, a white supremacist trying to work with Hezbollah pleaded guilty Monday to arson. Regan Darby Prater, 28, confessed in federal court that he carried out an attack using a homemade, napalm-style “sparkler bomb,” so called because it’s ignited by a sparkler, to destroy a historic civil rights center in New Market, Tenn., causing more than $1.2 million in damages.

Before setting off the bomb, Prater spray-painted a Nazi symbol across the parking lot. He acknowledged that he chose the location due to his white supremacist ideology, because of its association with the civil rights movement.

He also admitted that he passed information on 35,000 people he believed were connected to Israel in some way to someone he believed had ties to Hezbollah, with the message, “Start the hunt.”

Prater faces up to 20 years in prison, as well as fines, restitution, and supervised release after his sentence. His sentencing is scheduled for September 9 in federal court in Knoxville.

Justice sometimes moves slowly. Prater committed the arson on March 29, 2019.
