United States: the coastguard Christopher Paul Hasson who wanted a

Christopher Paul Hasson was arrested last February. He described himself as a "white nationalist" and advocated "targeted violence to establish a white homeland". Prosecutors have not accused him of terrorism or attempted murder, he can leave prison on bail.

On February 21, we learned that a white supremacist had been arrested in the United States. Christopher Paul Hasson was a coast guard and was suspected of wanting to attack Democratic leaders. The defendant also planned to "kill innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country," said prosecutor Robert Hur. Fifteen weapons and more than a thousand ammunition had been found in his apartment.

However, more than two months after the arrest, he will be able to leave prison, says Vice News. The public prosecutor has not accused Christopher Paul Hasson of terrorism or attempted murder, he can leave prison on bail. Although they consider him a dangerous "national terrorist", the prosecutors could not accuse him under the federal law in force. They charged him with the presence of weapons and drugs at his home, charges for which he pleaded not guilty.

The investigation, however, showed that he was in favor of violence "intended to establish a white homeland". In his search history, investigators found word searches such as "the best rifle" to kill blacks, and "Please God, let there be a racial war."

Despite these elements and accusations, the laws on terrorism are "essentially related to affiliation to foreign groups," says the pure-player American. Hasson's lawyers therefore argued that if the government could not bring more serious prosecutions against the supremacist, he had to be released. After a period of reflection, the judge in charge of this case agreed to release him, while stating that he had "serious concerns" and that Hasson "will need a lot of supervision."

The alleged terrorist also remains on active duty with the Coast Guard pending the outcome of his trial.
