Macdonald's bail conditions require him to stay at his parents' home, only leave with a parent, and attend legal, counseling, or medical appointments. He is prohibited from having weapons and using the internet unsupervised. He is also banned from contacting 10 individuals and must surrender his passport.
The Atomwaffen Division promotes violence against racial, religious, and ethnic groups, as well as informants, police, and bureaucrats, with the aim of societal collapse. The group has conducted training camps and carried out acts of violence, including the Charlottesville rally in 2017. Macdonald will appear in court again on Sept. 19.
