Ex-Navy SEAL Guilty: Planned Bomb Attack on Police During Protest

A former U.S. Navy SEAL has been convicted for planning to use explosives against police officers. The plot was intended for a series of anti-government protests in California. A federal jury found the man guilty of transporting explosives with intent to kill or injure officers. The charges relate to the "No Kings" protests, which occurred in 2020. The "No Kings" events were organized by a far-right group. They promoted a belief that citizens are not subject to government authority. Evidence showed the former SEAL brought devices designed to fragment and cause serious harm. He transported them to the protest location with the specific goal of targeting law enforcement. The conviction carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for a later date.
