While making a machine gun, a Brentwood man defended hatred towards the Jews and investigated mass shootings, the federals say.

Brentwood – began with a call from a worried citizen about a young man who allegedly owned a gun inside a local grocery store.

Last September, Brentwood police responded and arrested Noah Kanaye Bauer, 21, suspected of having a homemade gun and not just inside Raley’s in Sand Creek Road. But when they took a look at the Bauer computer, the FBI was called, according to judicial records.

What the authorities supposedly discovered was that Bauer had been interested in anti -Semitic sites and white supremacist sites, some that defend “racial purity” or advanced in the white nationalist replacement theory. He also investigated the famous mass shooters, as a man who left murder in Isla Vista, or a neo -Nazi who killed 69 in a Norwegian summer camp.

Now, prosecutors have moved successfully to keep Bauer behind bars while his case is pending. He was accused last week of transfer or possession of a machine gun, the position is based on a 3D printer that supposedly possessed and used to make firearms and a so -called conversion switch that allows the guns to shoot much more quickly, according to judicial records.

The position has a maximum of 10 years in prison and a fine of $ 250,000. Prosecutors announced the case in a press release last week, but did not mention Bauer’s alleged interest in mass shootings or the hatred defended towards the Jews.

At a judicial hearing on Monday in Oakland, prosecutors convinced the American magistrate judge Kandis Westmore that Bauer represented a danger to the public. She signed an arrest warrant, keeping it in federal custody without bail until her case is resolved or another judge annuls the ruling.

“(Bauer) has the knowledge and ability to inflict significant violence, has demonstrated a disturbing anti -Semitic ideology and represents a significant danger to the community,” prosecutors wrote in judicial documents.

Westmore noticed several factors behind his decision, including the disturbing internet searches that continued even after the September interaction with the Brentwood Police. But a cheerful admission stands out: prosecutors argued that when Bauer took the gun to a grocery store, it was a “practice” to “carry live ammunition.”

During his interview with the Brentwood Police, Bauer was sincere about his belief that the Jews “are ruining the country”, who control finance and “owners of all porn sites,” and that he learned when watching YouTube videos. He admitted to having had a page about X, where he published theories of Holocaust’s denials, with a profile that referred as a “white defender”, telling the police that he simply thought it was “something fun,” according to judicial presentations.

Six months later, the FBI raided his house, took his hard drive and went through his search history. They found searches for which chicks the “police vests” could penetrate, as well as “where most Jasidic Jews” live and how to cut someone’s throat for an “instant death”, prosecutors allege.

Bauer’s brother, who was present with him in Raley, according to the reports, the police told the police that he did not believe that it should be illegal to carry a weapon in public, but also pointed out Bauer’s growing interest in the anti -Semitic content, authorities said. He also told police that Bauer had experience in shooting firearms in a range of weapons, through another shared interest.

Both were boy scouts.
