As far as the organization can determine, until last week Holzer’s extremism mostly took the form of online posts and participation in white-supremacist events.
The white supremacist arrested last week for allegedly plotting to bomb a historic Colorado synagogue has been actively associating with other known extremists and espousing anti-Semitic and racist ideology on social media for years, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
But the ADL’s Center on Extremism says it has been tracking Holzer’s activities since 2016, and “has shared information with law enforcement on several occasions , citing concerns he might be dangerous.” According to the ADL, Holzer posted several photos and videos of himself on Facebook “wearing black military-styled fatigues adorned with a mixture of Klan and neo-Nazi pins and patches.” In June 2017, ADL researchers spotted Holzer in several images from a “March Against Sharia” rally in Denver. Photos from the event show Holzer dressed in a black “white power” shirt and marching alongside the associates of the now disbanded neo-Nazi group the Traditionalist Worker Party.
An ADL spokesperson told Yahoo News that “Holzer constantly changed his username on his Facebook account,” using a variety of different aliases including Rikard Buschmaan and other variations on his real name, such as Rickard Holzer, RH Wotanson, Rikardo Elk-Spirit and Rik Holzer.” Though none of those names currently appear to be affiliated with an active Facebook account, the spokesperson said, “Our law enforcement contacts did confirm his identity.
The affidavit says that Holzer told the covert FBI employee on Oct. 3 that he was “getting ready for RAHOWA,” meaning a racial holy war, and subsequently began sending videos and audio recordings from outside Temple Emanuel, where he intended to poison the water with arsenic on Oct. 31. Holzer’s arrest comes just days after the first anniversary of the shooting that killed 11 people and injured several others at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, one of the deadliest anti-Semitic attacks in U.S. history.
