Neo-Nazi Jack Renshaw Sentenced To Life Over Plot To Kill UK Parliament Member
Jack Renshaw, a neo-Nazi and convicted pedophile in the United Kingdom, was sentenced Friday to life in prison over his plot to murder a member of Parliament.
Renshaw, 23, was convicted in April after he bought a 19-inch knife to kill Labour MP Rosie Cooper, who was investigating him for child sex crimes, according to HuffPost UK.
As he was sentenced, Renshaw held up his arm in a Nazi salute as some of his supporters looked on in the audience.
“I believe today justice has been served,” Cooper said in a statement Friday, according to The Guardian. “Not for me personally, but for every MP and public servant, and for our democratic way of life which affords us the privilege of free speech without fear of violent retribution.”
