Cole, who is the suspected leader of The Atomwaffen Division in Washington state.\n\nAuthorities claim Cole has been amassing firearms and training with weapons in western Washington. Online videos show Atomwaffen members firing guns and moving through rooms at \u201cdevils tower,\u201d a graffiti-scarred building at an abandoned cement plant near the City of Concrete.\n\n\u201cThis is a hate-filled human being but one who, unfortunately, possesses a large number of weapons,\u201d Holmes said.\n\nCole is not charged with a crime but is named in an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) filed earlier this month in King County court. In the civil paperwork, prosecutors and the FBI convinced a judge that \u201cKaleb Cole poses a serious threat to public safety by having access and possession to firearms and a concealed pistol license.\u201d\n\nThe judge issued an order requiring Cole to surrender all firearms to the police.\n\nAtomwaffen, which is a German for \u201catomic weapon,\u201d is a small but extreme organization that seeks inspiration from Adolph Hitler and Charles Manson, who ordered mass murders to attempt to trigger a race war.\n\nIts white supremacist members claim they will not start the war, but they are arming themselves in preparation.\n\nAtomwaffen members have been charged in five murders in other states.\n\nThe FBI has clearly been watching Cole, although a spokesperson for the bureau\u2019s Seattle office declined to comment.\n\nDocuments filed in court show that Cole traveled to Eastern Europe in December of 2018 on a trip to honor the sites of some of World War II\u2019s most horrific scenes.\n\n\u201cCole has been permanently banned from entry into Canada as a result of his [admitted] membership\/affiliation with the Atomwaffen Division,\u201d the Border Patrol report stated.\n\nEarlier this year, the Seattle FBI approached Seattle\/King County\u2019s Regional Firearms Enforcement Unit operated by the Seattle City Attorney, King County Prosecutor, and Seattle police.\n\nAgents sought an ERPO to disarm Cole, but the federal government has no such tool.\n\n\u201cThe fact is the federal government came to us. There\u2019s no other mechanism like our firearms unit that\u2019s in existence. There\u2019s no one else in the state that\u2019s doing this,\u201d said Holmes.\n\nIt\u2019s the first time the Feds have sought an ERPO in Washington state, and it\u2019s believed to be one of the first instances in the nation.\n\nKing County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, whose deputy prosecutor Kim Wyatt argued the ERPO case before the judge, said the order to surrender guns is the right tool when law enforcement does not have enough evidence to file a criminal charge.\n\n\u201cIn this case, the joint terrorism task force had assessed Mr. Cole and said he was somebody who was doing more than thinking and talking about his extremist, violent beliefs, but that he was actually acting on it,\u201d Satterberg said.\n\nHolmes said the case marks an important milestone since he started working with his domestic violence prosecutor, Chris Anderson, on the pilot project that formed the firearms enforcement unit.\n\nThat unit has now seized nearly 1,100 firearms since 2017, mostly from accused domestic abusers.\n\nThe fact the FBI recognized an ERPO\u2019s ability to stop a threat is significant.\n\n\u201cWe can actually prevent some of these massacres,\u201d said Holmes.\n\nKING 5 has been unable to reach Cole for comment. The order that he does not possess any firearms remains in effect for one year.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seattle, WA (10-19-19)&#8211; Using repugnant political affiliation as a pretext, the latte&#8217; swilling neo-liberal gun snatchers and thought police are now emboldened to persecute the politically incorrect, not for crimes mind you, but for guilt by association\/suspicion\/bare assertions&#8211;a dramatic violation &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/1st-2nd-amendment-under-assault-in-wa-state\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21083"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21083\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21089,"href":"https:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21083\/revisions\/21089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
