The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports:
A neo-Nazi who hurled Molotov cocktails at a Geauga County church because it hosted drag-queen story hour and other events pleaded guilty Monday to a federal hate crime charge.
Aimenn Penny, 20, entered the pleas in federal court in Cleveland to obstruction of persons in the free exercise of religious beliefs and arson. Penny faces between 14 years and three months in prison and 15 years and three months when U.S. District Judge Bridget Brennan sentences him on Jan. 29.
Prosecutors and Penny’s defense attorney, John Greven, are allowed to argue for more or less time, but Brennan must sentence Penny to at least 10 years in prison.
From an April 2023 report:
The FBI reported finding a Nazi flag, a White Lives Matter of Ohio T-shirt, and other hateful memorabilia in Penny’s home. Well before the Molotov cocktail strike, authorities say, Penny showed up to another drag queen event on March 11, where members of White Lives Matter were carrying “swastika flags and shouting racial and homophobic slurs and ‘Heil Hitler.’”
His second tweet below is from when he was 14 years old.

Aimenn Penny, 20, seen in this clip below condemning “degeneracy” now faces a minimum of 5 and maximum of 20 years in prison for firebombing a church, which he apparently already admitted to.

Aimenn Penny was a member of “White Lives Matter of Ohio.”
When his group was confronted by a drag supporter a few weeks ago, they raised their arms in Nazi salutes.
At the end of the clip, you’ll see Penny yell “Fascism over faggots!”

So to understand the reportedly admitted church-bomber Aimenn Penny, you’d need to understand the group he was a part of.

#NationalDayOfPrayer may god help us through these last days, may these false Christians see the TRUE light of GOD ALMIGHTY, not the false light of SATAN, may these false Christians understand what God’s word is, and may they Repent for their sin and support of sin
