• During his undercover work, Scott encountered disturbing rituals and behaviors • , including a goat sacrifice during which members drank blood and took LSD as part of a neo-pagan ceremony associated with white supremacist ideology.

• White supremacist recruitment often targets vulnerable individuals from broken homes who are seeking belonging and connection • , with online platforms like Telegram and Gab serving as recruitment grounds where extremist content can radicalize disaffected youth.
