[Guno צְבִי]

A West Virginia man was arrested Thursday on charges he threatened the jury and witnesses involved in the trial of Pittsburgh synagogue shooter Robert Bowers.

Hardy Carroll Lloyd, 45, called himself the "reverend" of a white supremacy movement and began commenting online about the Bowers trial, making threatening posts, website comments and emails toward the jury and witnesses, federal prosecutors said.

Among the posts Lloyd is accused of making was the threat, "Remember, jurors, we WILL be watching and we WILL be taking pictures of ALL cars and people who leave the courthouse," according to an affidavit. His posts continued to grow more violent throughout the trial and death penalty phase, calling for attacks on Jewish people and the city of Pittsburgh, according to the affidavit.

Lloyd also placed or had others place stickers in predominantly Jewish areas of Pittsburgh, directing people to the website containing his threats and antisemitic messages.

White supremacist charged with threatening jurors on Pittsburgh synagogue shooter trial
Hardy Carroll Lloyd, 45, was arrested on federal charges of witness tampering, obstruction and transmitting threats.

A known white supremacist from West Virginia was arrested Thursday and accused of targeting the Jewish community in social media posts and online comments during the trial of the shooter at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh.

Hardy Carroll Lloyd, 45, was taken into custody without incident on federal charges of witness tampering, obstruction and transmitting threats.

Lloyd, a self-proclaimed "reverend" of a white supremacy movement, is accused of making several comments in May calling for Robert Bowers' release and threatening people who served on the jury at his trial. Bowers was convicted in June of fatally shooting 11 people at the synagogue in 2018. He was sentenced to death Aug. 3.

In a May 14 post on the Russian social media site VKontakte, Lloyd wrote, "Free Robert Bowers Now!! ... We need to support anyone who kills jews," a federal criminal complaint alleged.

Three days later, he posted, "Robert Bowers did Pgh a Favour. Any juror who finds him guilty is guilty of anti-White racism," the complaint says.
