Florida resident Brandon Russell (30) was sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted of planning shooting attacks on several power stations in Baltimore, Maryland, with the aim of disabling the city's power grid - where a significant portion of the population is African American. According to the prosecution, Russell's goal in the planned attack was "to promote white supremacist ideology that would lead to the collapse of American society." It was also reported that "Russell allowed hate to fuel him and planned a dangerous plot that would have harmed thousands of people."
