A man who admitted to planning violent attacks against the Anti-Defamation League, a Las Vegas synagogue and a Fremont Street bar was ordered to serve two years in federal prison on Friday.
Conor Climo pleaded guilty to a weapons charge earlier this year, admitting that he “expressed biases and hatred against various racial and religious groups.”
His sentencing, originally set for the spring, was delayed throughout the pandemic and ultimately conducted through a teleconference.
“I would like to first admit that i was truly wrong for all of this,” Climo told U.S. District Judge James Mahan. “I truly apologize.”
According to his plea agreement, Climo admitted that while online between May 2019 and July 15, 2019 he threatened to use Molotov cocktails and improvised explosive devices in an attack on Lev HaShem Messianic Synagogue, 3644 N. Rancho Drive, about 7 miles from his home. He was arrested in August 2019.
