Dallas Humber, 34, and Matthew Allison, 37, face 15 counts including soliciting hate crimes and support for terrorism

A white supremacist group that branded itself the Terrorgram Collective drew up a list of high-profile assassination targets including at least one senator and a district court judge, according to a federal indictment unsealed on Monday.

Prosecutors allege that the two leading agitators of the group incited followers on social media to commit hate crimes against Black and Jewish people, immigrants and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Dallas Humber, 34, of Elk Grove, California; and Matthew Allison, 37, of Boise, Idaho; face 15 counts each of soliciting hate crimes and providing material support to terrorism. US justice department lawyers filed the 37-page indictment in district court in the eastern district of California on Thursday.

It alleges the pair encouraged attacks on government infrastructure, energy facilities and other buildings “to ignite a race war and help accelerate the collapse of government and society”.

    If you take out the power, people will get desperate in a matter of days if not hours.

    Tensions will rise and they’ll strike out randomly looking for scape goats, which, typically, are minorities.

      I think if the big power outage in New York in 1977 didn’t cause a race war, nothing will. It was also in the middle of a heat wave.

      There was looting, but there was no race war.

      No they won’t. Parts of Texas without power for over a week even after floods cleared, and no one rioted.
