Neo-Nazi with Arsenal Sentenced to a Decade in Prison for Plotting LGBT Attack

[Social Media]

 

Alan Edward, a 55-year-old neo-Nazi from Redding, Falkirk, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after police uncovered an arsenal of weapons in his home and evidence of his intention to carry out a terror attack against an LGBT group. Edward’s plans came to light during an investigation that revealed his extremist ideology and communication detailing violent threats.  

 

In September 2022, armed officers from Police Scotland raided Edward’s residence, seizing an alarming cache of weapons that included a crossbow, machetes, a tomahawk, a samurai sword, knuckledusters, an extendable baton, a stun gun, and a variety of knives—some adorned with Nazi and SS insignia. Additional items recovered included an air pistol, a skull mask resembling SS regalia, goggles, a respirator, hardened-knuckle gloves, and hunting tips for crossbow arrows. Prosecutors referred to the collection as an “armoury,” indicative of his dangerous intent.

 

Edward’s violent ambitions were discovered through a series of WhatsApp messages where he discussed targeting an LGBT group in Falkirk. Among his chilling remarks, Edward stated, “They have been pushing their luck for years, now they will pay in blood.” He also suggested carrying out the attack masked, saying, “We should get masked up and go do a few of them in at their little gay club.”  

 

The court heard further evidence of Edward’s neo-Nazi ideology, including a document on his computer referring to Anders Breivik—the far-right extremist responsible for killing 77 people in Norway in 2011—as “Saint Anders.” Police Scotland’s Operation Lightbox investigation revealed that Edward had posted and shared racist, homophobic, and violent content online, along with materials associated with extreme right-wing groups.  

 

Detective Superintendent Stephen Clark, head of counter-terrorism investigations at Police Scotland, described Edward’s actions as an effort to spread fear and hatred. “Edward shared extreme racist and homophobic content online with the aim of stirring up hatred and spreading fear and alarm,” Clark said.  

 

Edward first drew the attention of counter-terrorism officers when he posted a video of a National Action rally in 2016, shortly before the group was banned in the UK under the Terrorism Act. His online activity continued over several years, as he disseminated videos, memes, and images supporting neo-Nazi ideologies.  

 

Former Police Scotland superintendent and counter-terrorism expert Martin Gallagher emphasized the gravity of Edward’s potential threat, noting his idolization of Breivik. “I would not put someone who is acting alone on a different level from a group—they can be just as deadly,” Gallagher remarked.  

 

The case has left many shaken, with Christopher Clannachan of the Equality Network calling it “very frightening.” He highlighted the need for vigilance in combating the spread of extremist views that target marginalized groups.  

 

Edward’s sentence underscores the ongoing threat posed by far-right extremism and the importance of robust counter-terrorism efforts to prevent such individuals from carrying out acts of violence.

He is threatening violence against an LGBT group for which he has been sentenced to 10 years in jail by a Scottish court although he has not hurt anyone to date. I trust other authorities in the UK will take note, and will pass similar sentences on anyone else making similar threats.

When they name such ones 'Nazi', I was expecting these things.

                      

 

Do they call them ’Arsenal’？

Looks like taking advantage of SEO(search engine optimization).

When entering LGBT, net user will see this sandwich at the same time.

Why is it that the far right nutters are obsessed with weapons e.g. the MAGA mob in US?

Also who could forget the cuddly yellow shirts led by Suthep and his armed thugs who terrorised Bangkok in 2014.

When they (yellow shirts) were finally removed from Lupini Park they left behind, apart from their filth, a cache of weapons including small arms, M79 grenade launchers and sniper rifles.

Far right politics seems synonymous with anger and hatred.

Was it yellow shirts in Lumpini? I thought it was the red shirts, who are more of a grass roots movement for equality movement than the maintenance of privilege orientated yellow shirts.

 

I don't recall the cache of weapons and if there had been, bearing in mind the Army shot a number of people, one would always want proof that these weapons weren't planted to justify that.

For some reason nothing pictured has any Nazi/SS insignia and saying a skull mask resembles SS 'Totenkopf' insignia is a bit of a stretch.

 

Well done Police for seemingly thwarting an attack on people just being whoever they really are, but I think the link with Naziism is a stretch and Breivik to my knowledge never expressed any opinion on LGBT people, it was the mass immigration/Islamification. Being opposed to mass immigration is not right wing, and having anti gay feelings does not of it's own make someone right wing. Douflas Murray who gets called a neo nazi is gay.

 

I reiterate my support for prevention on attacks on LGBT people, but i think they are putting 2+2 together to try and get a desired Neo Nazi 5.

 

I have seen the MI5 Parliamentary report on supposed right wing extremists and it is ridiculous.

Why is it people try to connect Trump to almost anything. 

 

To bring back a word that became quite popular on here by the brigade.

 

Just weird.

We know, but we're not allowed to speak of a syndrome on here anymore.

Was it not the red shirts who burned down the then World Trade Center because WTC never paid the protection money that Gaysorn paid?

Could have been, I'm not on anybody's side and doubt that either side is whiter than white. I was just correcting our red forever friend as he was disparaging the side probably most ideologically in tune with him.

Very harsh, Scotland is a jwoke nowadays. Wasn't there a ladyboy rapist who got into a women's prison?

Because you think the Nazis started off with military weapons.

 

They did not, they started out as criminal thugs and worked their way up through beatings, vandalism, arson, murder and eventually war crimes and genocide.

 

It starts with race/minority hatred and thuggery.
