White Supremacist Sentenced to Over Six Years for Threats During Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting Trial

Hardy Carroll Lloyd targeted jurors and witnesses due to their Jewish faith, marking another instance of his long history of anti-Semitic behavior.

Hardy Carroll Lloyd, a self-proclaimed white supremacist, has been sentenced to over six years in federal prison for threatening jurors and witnesses during the trial of Robert Bowers, the gunman responsible for the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history.
Lloyd targeted the jury and witnesses due to their actual or perceived Jewish faith, posting photos and personal information online and calling for violence against Jews in Pittsburgh.
Lloyd's threats were made through social media posts, website comments, and intimidating emails, and he admitted to making these threats due to the Jewish ties of the witnesses and victims.
Lloyd has a history of anti-Semitic behavior, having previously served time in prison for violating his probation by distributing neo-Nazi leaflets and calling for violence following a proposed assault weapons ban in Pittsburgh.
The sentencing comes amid warnings from public safety officials about an increased risk of anti-Semitic attacks, following an attack on Israel by Hamas in October.
