Between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, neo-Nazis under the leadership of Christopher Pohlhaus carried out coordinated banner drops and a campaign of online harrassment.

One of the neo-Nazi participants has been identified as a high school Jr. at @HFLHS

That @telegram and @ProtonMail continue to enable Pohlhaus to build his own personal hate group is bad enough. That Pohlhaus is recruiting kids via these platforms is vile beyond words.
We would discover the identity of the young neo-Nazi after he showed up in our mentions.
His Twitter handle offered some clues to his identity and with the help of some of you, we were able to to ID @batesfarm3 as Wittlinger Bates who attends @HFLHS in Honeyoye Falls NY
In an exchange from yesterday he acknowledged that we were onto his identity
In addition to his Twitter account, we were able to locate his Facebook profile
Which helps to buttress the case that his Twitter account wasn't hacked
And here is where things get interesting. @AntifascistF12 reached out to the phone number for the farm to let them know about Witt Bate's posting of neo-Nazi content and recieved this response
The person goes onto to add that...
And finally
But it wasn't over yet. @AntifascistF12 recieved a text from a different phone number after the exchange with the one associated with "Bates Farm"
As well as a voice-mail message that said "the day of the rope is upon us n****r"

The "Day of the Rope" being a reference from the white supremacist novel the "Turner Diaries."
