A member of the White Lives Matter Ohio branch is accused of attacking a church with Molotov cocktails in anticipation of drag shows the religious community planned to host, the Justice Department announced Friday.
According to charging documents, Aimenn Penny — who investigators say is a part of the pro-Nazi and anti-gay group — admitted to using vodka and beer bottles and gasoline to target the Community Church of Chesterfield outside of Toledo.
The criminal complaint unsealed Friday revealed this was not Penny's first time targeting drag events. According to prosecutors, on March 11, he attended a drag queen story hour"to distribute propaganda flyers representing White Lives Matter, Ohio's anti-drag queen views," and was wearing,"military style gear including camouflage pants, a tactical vest, and jacket with a patch showing a firearm.
In October of last year, the complaint alleges Penny told local police that African Americans were"the problem" and he looked forward to"the civil war coming between races." "Penny stated that night he became more and more angry after watching internet videos of news feeds and drag shows in France and decided to attack the church," according to court documents."[He] stated that he would have felt better if the Molotov cocktails were more effective and burned the entire church to the ground.
