On Friday, a British court sentenced a teenager to more than 11 years in prison amid videos encouraging acts of racist violence attributed to two US massacres. Judge Patrick Field, reading the ruling, described 19-year-old Daniel Harris. , as “very dangerous” and propagandist of the “propaganda” of the extreme right ideology.
Field addressed Harris by saying, “You were in close contact with other right-wing extremists on the Internet, and there is no doubt that you shared ideas.”
Harris was convicted in December on five counts of promoting terrorism and one count of possessing materials for terrorist purposes in order to make weapons using a 3D printer.
The young man is from Derbyshire, central England and started posting videos online when he was 17 and over a year old.
Among his records is Peyton Gendorn, the white supremacist who killed ten people of African descent in Buffalo, New York, in May 2022.
Prosecutors have uncovered a link between the recordings of Harris and Anderson Lee Aldrich, the only suspect in the November 2022 Colorado Springs gay nightclub shooting.
Police said the suspect used one of Harris’ videos on his website.
Another video pays tribute to the 2016 killer of British MP Joe Cox, a white supremacist.
Riot police arrested Harris at his home in Glossop last May, two days after the attack on the Buffalo convenience store.
Harris is one of those with precedent and was convicted of damaging a monument honoring George Floyd, a black American who died of asphyxiation after a white police officer kneeled on his neck in 2020, prompting protests at the level U.S.A.
