A Missouri man pleaded guilty to a terrorism charge in federal court on Thursday after allegedly entering a secure engine compartment in an attempt stop an Amtrak train.
Taylor Michael Wilson, of St. Charles, Mo., admitted in a plea deal that he was armed with a handgun in addition to cards “relating to the [National] Socialist Movement” when he boarded a train in California back in October, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Thursday. Wilson also admitted to disabling the train after it had entered Nebraska and cutting off the lights in the passenger compartment.
When Wilson was subdued by conductors, he reportedly yelled, “I’m the conductor now, bitch!” before reaching for his waistband.
There were 175 passengers aboard the train at the time of the incident, some of whom reportedly tried escaping through the windows.
According to additional details in his plea deal obtained by the Post-Dispatch that weren’t previously disclosed, Wilson was captured on a police officer’s body cam imitating shooting sounds at deputies and hurling racial slurs at the train’s conductor. He also reportedly called humans “a plague” on the planet.
“I got a reason for doing what I’m doing. I stopped the f---ing train,” Wilson reportedly said in the plea deal. “I was going to save the train from the black people.”
When FBI agents raided the 26-year-old’s home they reportedly found writings containing “numerous derogatory and threatening comments about the Jewish race and African-Americans” in his journals.
The FBI also uncovered National Socialist propaganda hidden in hollowed-out sections in the defendant’s walls in addition to guns including a Pioneer Arms Corp. 7.62x25mm Tokarev PPS43-C and a short-barreled rifle.
Wilson also agreed to plead guilty to possession of an unregistered firearm in federal court as part of the deal.
I figured him more an O’Brien or a Murphy than a Wilson. Anyway, I think his real irritation is with astroturf.
Every time an idiot white person does something extremely stupid all white people will get blamed.
They are free to be haters of everything, without repercussions.
Hijacking a train. Now that’s original. What a frickin weirdo.
'nough said
After all, lily-White Nebraska is well-known for all its Black people. /sarc
Hijack a train?
Waving a gun around, “Take this train to Neuschwabenland!”
(it’s in Antarctica)
Ahhh, the peet.
Well done Dillon.
Yep!
Excellent pick up! I never noticed that and I’m a total Seinfeld trivia junkie
One wonders why there are brackets around the word “National”.
Is it too much to ask that the story give us the actual wording from the Membership Card?
Claimed to have taken LSD before boarding the train.
Probably not the best idea. As someone who knows, I couldn't imagine a worse place to be tripping my balls off.
Nazi, National socialist? Democrat!
Anybody want to bet how he votes, based on this statement?
Just goes to show that trash comes in all colors in this country.
How many times did he vote for Bernie?
