Another fascist hick who collected vast quantities of neo-nazi literature blew his fingers off with his homemade bombs.

Postman jailed for racist hate mail campaign
A postman who waged a hate campaign in which he posted letters and packages containing "overtly racist and depraved threats" to the attorney general and around 150 other targets has been jailed for four years.
Jefferson Azevedo, 45, also sent packages laced with white powder at the height of the US anthrax scare, and placed a hoax bomb on a bridge.
London's Southwark crown court heard that he singled out individuals because of their support for foreign nationals in Britain or their opposition to the British National Party. Azevedo, of Portsmouth, targeted MPs, solicitors, media organisations, charities, schools, mosques and churches, as well as restaurants and car rental companies.
Some of his packages contained caustic soda. One person was slightly burned after coming into contact with the chemical, while another suffered a skin rash and many people were left "extremely frightened", the court heard. One victim, Julius Klein, 79, whose family was killed in the Holocaust, said he felt traumatised by a letter he received bearing a swastika.
The judge, Peter Testar, told Azevedo: "I find a significant aggravating factor in this case was the sheer nastiness which was directed against individuals. I can't ignore the fact these offences seem to have be racially aggravated."
Azevedo sent hate mail to the Royal Navy's dockyard at Portsmouth, the Voluntary Overseas Organisation, and the Slough offices of the mobile telecoms company O2. He pleaded guilty to 19 charges spanning February 2003 to March last year, and asked for a further 140 to be considered.
Alex Agbamu, prosecuting, said Azevedo had explained after his arrest that "he wanted publicity because of his concerns over immigration" and "intended to frighten".
"He said he had the idea from the US when anthrax had been sent through the post to various people in that country," the court heard. "He said he had carried out research in the public library, in newspapers and on the internet. If he found a story he was interested in, he would do what he could to find out how to contact the individuals concerned."
The postman carried out his campaign in several stages. The first batch of letters, in January 2004, were sent in retaliation against plans to turn a former naval air station in Lee-on-Solent into an asylum centre. A year later, he sent a tin foil wrap with something rattling inside it to the Buckingham Gate offices of the then attorney general, Lord Goldsmith. Fifty staff, including the senior law officer, were evacuated as a precaution.
Azevedo responded to a campaign to prevent a Portsmouth schoolgirl and her family from being sent back to Syria by sending letters containing caustic soda, some with the message: "If they be black, send them back."
In March last year, he sent hate mail to a number of residents in Portsmouth and the West Midlands bearing a swastika and the warning: "Ethnic cleansing coming soon to this area."
William Mosley, defending, told the court his client had a background of depression that had "coloured and overshadowed much of his adult life".
"It made him a solitary individual who has always had difficulty making friends. And this perhaps led to an outpouring of frustration in the way we have seen," Mosley said.
Outside court, Detective Inspector John Geden said: "This was nothing less than a terror campaign. Some of his victims were extremely frightened by what occurred. If his intent was to cause upset and chaos, he has certainly done that."
Loner lost seven fingers when home-made bomb exploded
A bored and lonely farmer's son who blew off his own fingers with a home-made bomb was jailed for seven years yesterday.
Potentially lethal home-made explosives, detonators, a home-made pistol loaded with ammunition and dozens of dangerous chemicals were discovered at a farm near Otterburn in Northumberland after Owen Dodds set off the explosion.
Dodds, 29, who lived at Ravenscleugh Farm in Elsdon with his parents, lost seven fingers and suffered 20 shrapnel wounds to his chest in the accident on January 2. Police who raided the remote farmhouse feared he was part of a terrorist sleeper cell when they discovered the mini munitions factory.
But Dodds, who had previous convictions for violence and had been banned for life from possessing firearms or ammunition, was “immature, lonely, isolated and bored” and not a terrorist, Newcastle Crown Court heard. He had pleaded guilty to 12 counts of making explosives, one count of making a firearm and one count of possessing ammunition while prohibited, at an earlier hearing.
Firefighters found the explosives and books explaining how to make bombs after being called to the farmhouse, sparking a huge police search that eventually involved more than 170 officers. When police arrived, they searched the house and found in Dodds’ bedroom bomb-making equipment including potassium nitrate fertiliser, hydrogen peroxide, sulphuric acid, shotgun cartridges, metal pipes and rusty nails, and a carton of hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD) – a high explosive which has been used in several suicide bombings around the world.
Army explosives experts were called in and discovered a cache of weapons, including a fully loaded home-made pistol, pyrotechnic fuses, a “rocket” pipe bomb hidden in a bin close to a barn, a home-made bomb timer, and an ignition switch made from a clothes peg modified with plastic and drawing pins.
A cordon was placed around the farm and the family was evacuated for 16 days as officers combed the area, searching for more explosives.
Stuart Baker, prosecuting, said Dodds’ bedroom and his desktop computer was filled with bomb-making guides and neo-Nazi music, flags and literature.
But Paul Caulfield, defending, said: “He is the last person who would have any connection with any organisation that could pose a threat to people’s safety or to society. He is an immature, childish, lonely, naive, isolated and bored man who lacked social development. He lived largely in the middle of nowhere, not even near to any main roads. He had no friends and an unusual fascination with explosive devices. It is pathetic of him to be making bombs in this way. He manufactured these explosive devices and from time to time would set them off in areas where there was no livestock.
“The lessons of that day will be with him for the rest of his life. You could say he has had his fingers burned.”
Dodds had several previous convictions including burglary, wounding with intent and possessing firearms. He had previously been banned from possessing ammunition for life.
Sentencing him, Judge David Hodson said: “The colossal dangers such experimentation causes to yourself, your parents and to all those who had to investigate what you had done after the discovery of your activities cannot be underestimated.
“You created quite deliberately a number of life-threatening situations for a number of people and you must be punished for what you did.”
For each offence of making or possession an explosive, Dodds was jailed for two years concurrently.
He was jailed for five years for manufacturing the firearm, to run consecutive to the two-year-concurrent sentences, and for one year for possessing ammunition when prohibited, to run concurrent.
Stash of dangerous chemicals
AMONG the items found in Owen Dodd’s bedroom were 21 dangerous chemicals.
One of these was HMTD – Hexamethylenetriperoxidediamine – an extremely volatile substance which is sensitive to heat, shock and friction.
Other chemicals found included TATP, one of the favoured chemicals of suicide bombers, and hydrogen peroxide.
An amount of HMTD was transported by Northumbria Police officers down to Kent where it was analysed, potentially putting the officers at serious risk of harm.
A spokesman for Northumbria Police said: "The scene was attended by a number of experts and the best advice was sought from those experts in relation to the handling and transporting of the materials and items that were discovered. This advice was followed.
"It was only after it was tested in the lab that it was identified as being potentially volatile.
"At the conclusion of every operation such as this, there is a debrief were lessons and improvements are identified.
"Such a debrief has taken place in this case."
