Next on the White Power Chopping Block: Daniel “Jack Corbin” McMahon

This guy has been harassing people online for the better part of two years, and fancied himself an “antifa hunter”. Well as it always seems to be the case with the fash crowd, he pushed his luck and…

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – Federal officials today announced the arrest of a well-known White Supremacist troll and provocateur that for two years have attempted to dox and harass antifascists around the globe on charges that he made racially-motivated threats against a possible city council candidate in Charlottesville, interfering in a local election.

According to a press release by the United States Department of Justice, Daniel McMahon, 31 of Brandon, Florida was indicted on Sept. 11 for willful interference with a candidate for elective office, bias-motivated interference with a candidate for elective office, threats to injure in interstate commerce, and cyberstalking. The charges were released following his arrest.

“As alleged in the indictment, this defendant was motivated by racial animus and used his social-media accounts to threaten and intimidate a potential candidate for elective office,” U.S. Attorney Thomas T. Cullen said. “Although the First Amendment protects an individual’s right to broadcast hateful views online, it does not give license to threats of violence or bodily harm. We will continue to prioritize cyber-threat cases, including those giving rise to civil rights violations.”

The charges stem from January 2019, where according to federal officials, McMahon, who called himself “Jack Corbin” and “Pale Horse” online, threatened Black Lives Matter activist Don Gathers, identified only as “D.G.”, with physical harm because of his race and because he was running for elected office. Gathers served on Charlottesville’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Race, Memorials and Public Spaces, as its chairman, and it was that commission that recommended renaming parks that included statutes of Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson and Robert E. Lee, as well as  to relocate the Lee statute, which prompted Charlottesville resident Jason Kessler to organize the Aug. 12, 2017 “Unite the Right” rally that resulted in the death of counter protester Heather Heyer. After McMahon’s harassment, some of which was promoted in an article by Patrick Howley on his Big League Politics website when they posted a video from “Jack Corbin’s” still-active YouTube, Gathers bowed out of that race.

McMahon had been cyberstalking and harassing antifa for almost several years routinely doxxing activists involved in antifascism, especially female activists and researchers. In April 2018, Philly Antifa was able to identify “Jack Corbin” as McMahon, and McMahon attempted to deny unsuccessfully that the information was correct. He was repeatedly suspended on Twitter and moved over to the fascist-friendly social media platform Gab, where he was able to work regularly with Brad Griffin of Occidential Dissent and Robert Bowers, who is the suspect in the mass shooting of the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA.

Now would be a good time to remind everyone that Jack Corbin, Robert Bowers and Brad Griffin all worked together. https://t.co/ONXLflojFj pic.twitter.com/qbsMzQoPG2

McMahon last posted on Gab today, many of those posts attacking Presidential Candidate Beto O’Rourke after Donald Trump attacked him on his plan to buy back assault weapons, and  in crass terms, expressing his adulation for Alexis Wilson, the 18-year old Oklahoma woman arrested Monday after she threatened to  “shoot 400 people for fun” at her former high school. If convicted, he faces a possible maximum sentence of six years.
