Las Vegas ‘vigilante’ plotted to recruit killer squads to murder gays & Jews
A 23yo Las Vegas man is facing ten years behind bars for plotting terrorist attacks against the Jewish and LGBT communities and attempting to hire armed hit squads to carry out the atrocities.
Conor Climo was arrested by the FBI on Thursday as he was seeking to recruit an eight-man sniper team to assassinate members of the Jewish community in Nevada. He also plotted a complex attack on a gay bar from the inside and outside simultaneously, using two killer squads, FBI agents said after the arrest.

The organization encourages attacks on the federal government, including critical infrastructure, minorities, and members of the LGBTQ community, the criminal complaint said, without specifying if other members of the Neo-Nazi group were detained.

The suspect now faces up to 10 years behind bars and a $250,000 fine, if found guilty. Climo already made headlines three years ago after a Las Vegas news channel featured him as a local crime vigilante described as an “armed citizen on patrol” who proudly wears an assault rifle and a large knife in public.
