A neo-Nazi who boarded an Amtrak train armed with a gun and broke into the engine compartment to disable the train has been revealed to have attended the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia last August, and marched next to accused domestic terrorist James Alex Fields.
Taylor Wilson was sentenced to 14 years in prison on Friday in Lincoln, Nebraska for boarding the train in October. After entering the engine compartment, he cut the lights to the passenger compartment and disabled the train, causing panic among passengers.
Wilson, who was a card-carrying member of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement, said shortly after that he was "trying to save the train from black people." Authorities later found white supremacist documents, 1,000 rounds of ammunition, and a tactical shield behind a secret compartment in his house.

Last week, 4 members of the extremist Rise Above Movement (RAM) in California, were charged with inciting a riot and assault who, according to the complaint, traveled from California to Charlottesville with the intention, "a. to incite a riot, b. to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, and carry on in a riot, c. as having 'participated in violent encounters in Charlottesville.'"
Per ProPublica, RAM is a far-right fight club and members were among the most violent at Charlottesville.
