A white man pleaded guilty Thursday to making racist online threats against a black activist in Virginia to deter him from running for office in a city where violence erupted during a white nationalist rally nearly three years ago.

Daniel McMahon, 31, of Brandon, Florida, also pleaded guilty to threatening a second victim over Facebook, a new offense that authorities learned of after his arrest and wasn't included in his indictment last year.

. . .

McMahon used a Facebook account to cyberstalk a second victim and extort information from her about her fellow activists, who countered white nationalist rallies in their community, according to prosecutors. He also threatened to sexually assault her daughter, an autistic child, the Justice Department said in a news release.

During a hearing last year in Tampa, Florida, U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas Wilson concluded McMahon posed a danger to the community and ordered him detained without bail. The judge cited McMahon’s apparent mental instability, access to firearms and social media posts in which he celebrated hate-fueled mass shootings in Pittsburgh and Charleston, South Carolina.

Posters Mailed And Distributed To Neighbors Of Unhinged Fascist Daniel McMahon



Daniel McMahon is a self-described fascist that is probably best known to people under the pseudonym “Jack Corbin.” However, he also uses the names Dakota Stone and Pale Horse. He’s the kind of fascist that other fascists think is unbalanced and has been thrown out of and feuded with a number of fascist groups like Identity Evropa, Pioneer Little Europe, and the Traditionalist Worker Party. It led to a pretty telling comment from a fascist commenting on Bradley Griffin’s website, Occidental Dissent, that Daniel would “get along great with child murderers.” A woman in far-Right circles told Emily Gorcenski, an anti-fascist researcher, that she was concerned about Daniel’s mental state and was afraid of what he might do.

And Daniel McMahon certainly does get along with murderers. Not only did he correspond and work closely with Robert Bowers, the fascist who shot and killed 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, he’s spent countless hours defending and praising the likes of James Fields and Dylann Roof. He himself is involved in the targeted harassment of students, anti-fascists, POC, and Jewish people and attempts to incite harm with a stream of extreme threats filled with bigoted, sexist, and violent language. Posing as “Dakota Stone,” he impersonated a law enforcement official in an attempt to get a University of North Carolina student newspaper to send him high resolution photographs of student protesters.
