## Resource

A man named William Lee Spartacus Falkner in Mason County faces life-threatening charges for allegedly plotting a terror attack on a UFC event held on the White House lawn. Prosecutors say he was actively recruiting online for drones and explosives, with messages even boasting about his alleged role. Neighbors describe him as a disruptive presence, and while his vehicle was seized by the FBI, it’s now returned — but the case remains open. This chilling case underscores how online radicalization can spiral into real-world danger, especially near high-profile targets.
